The couple: “Where did Brook go?”

Me: Wayyyyy over there.

Can you spot the photographer?

Behind every beautiful portrait is a photographer doing whatever it takes to make you laugh, feel comfortable, find the perfect light… and occasionally look completely ridiculous.

I’d say it’s a fair trade.

Sneak Peek!

Every senior session should tell your story, and for Mikayla, that story starts with music.

Since she loves to sing, we planned to create something special on the stage at Roy High School Auditorium. As often happens, things didn’t quite go according to plan... the stage wasn’t set up the way we expected.

But here’s the thing about creativity, it thrives in the unexpected.

We pivoted, embraced the challenge, and created something uniquely her. Sometimes the most memorable portraits aren’t the ones that go exactly as planned... they’re the ones that come from trusting the process and letting inspiration lead the way.

I can’t wait to share more from this incredible session. Well done, Mikayla!

My friend and client Jessica created this wonderful highlight for my business. She’s incredible! Thank you Jessica!!! 🫶🏻

What’s one common mistake people make in your field?
Many people wait for the "perfect" time to schedule portraits. The truth is that life's milestones are happening right now, and those moments deserve to be preserved before they become memories.

What’s a quick tip people can use right away?
Thinking they aren't photogenic. In reality, most people simply haven't worked with a photographer who knows how to guide them and help them feel comfortable.

When should someone call a professional instead of DIY?
If the images are important enough to represent you, your family, a milestone, or your business, it's time to call a professional. Great portraits are about much more than owning a camera, they're about creating images that tell your story and make you feel confident.

This review captures exactly why I love senior portraits.

Yes, we're creating beautiful images.

But we're also preserving a moment in time.

A laugh.

A smile.

A personality.

A season of life that changes far too quickly.

Years from now, these portraits won't just remind you what your senior looked like.

They'll remind you who they were.

Thank you, Trisha, for trusting me with those memories.

As parents, we're constantly looking ahead.

Graduation.

College.

Careers.

The next chapter.

Senior portraits are one of the few opportunities to pause and celebrate who your teen is right now.

Not who they're becoming.

Who they are today.

And that's worth remembering.

Three generations. One incredible story.

There’s something so special about watching a family legacy unfold right in front of the camera. These portraits feature my daughter, my three granddaughters, and me. It’s a reminder of how quickly time passes and how important it is to preserve the moments that tell our story (we will be adding my mama as soon as we can arrange it).

We created two completely different looks... one filled with joyful smiles and one with a timeless, contemplative expression. I honestly love them both for different reasons.

Now it’s your turn...
Which one speaks to you more?
Smile or no smile? Tell me why in the comments!

(Bonus points if you can guess which one will end up hanging on my wall.)

This is exactly why I custom design every senior session.

Your portraits shouldn’t look like someone else’s.

They should tell your story.

Every senior has unique interests, strengths, and dreams.

My goal is to create portraits that celebrate those things.
