Hi there—I haven’t posted in so long! May has been incredibly busy, and I’ve barely had time to think, let alone post. I have so many wonderful sessions to share, and I’m excited to fill my feed next month with the beautiful faces I’ve photographed and celebrate all the graduates!

To start of the weekend, I am sharing the Anderson Family Annual session! The Anderson's live life to the fullest. They play together, explore together, laugh together, and embrace life with a smile…no matter what is thrown at them. I adore this crew and I am thankful they chose me as their photographer.

We had a blast exploring historic long grove. You may notice a few pumpkins in the photos. Someone, not naming names, loves “Pick it up, Pick it Up” by Ms. Rachel, so I brought some pumpkins to fully embrace the song AND get some smiles. It’s all for the smile 😊

Last chance for spring flowers before they are gone. I have availability this Sunday afternoon/evening. Grad session, cap and gown, college t-shirt/friend sessions or family sessions available. Feel fee to reach out if you have any interest.

This picture was taken last night. Lilacia Park never disappoints!

And special thanks to the beautiful woman pictured below. They always bring the laughter and joy to every session we have done together. I can't wait to share more from Savannah's senior session.

I know I have been posting about high school seniors the last couple days but let's not forget about our 8th Grade Graduates!!!

Booking a mini session is a perfect way to document this big moment in your child's life as they close the door on middle school and open the door to their next adventure of high school. Yikes! How did that happen?

Shoot me a message or send me an email [email protected] if you want to book a session

Photo session includes individual photos of each graduate and group photos.

To book, please shoot me a message or email me [email protected]

Vada came to my studio on Saturday to get some headshots. She is a theater kid and now she has some gorgeous headshots to submit for future auditions. Go Vada!

I had so many wow moments taking her pictures. How could this little girl who I knew as a child have grown into such a beautiful young woman? I believe she was only 10 years old just last year. Look at her!!!! She is STUNNING!

This was my first time photographing the Seaman Family — and what a joy it was!
They ventured to the beach for an end-of-season shoot, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The light, the breeze, and that gorgeous view made for such a beautiful session.

I absolutely love how their outfits popped against the blue skies and sparkling water — so pretty! 💙

Seaman Family, let’s do it again next year! 🙂
