This morning I met up with Adalyn for a handful of cap and gown pictures! We weren’t able to take any during her initial session so we squeezed them in today!

Sadie and Reagan unknowingly showed up for their sessions wearing the exact same dress and we thought that was fun so we took a few pictures of them together!

Met up with Reagan on Friday for a few cap and gown photos! It wouldn’t be a session with Reagan if it wasn’t windy! Wasn’t windy at all until we got set for our first picture and the. The wind wouldn’t stop lol. We’ve come to expect it at this point! Despite the wind, we were able to get some awesome shots on a bright, bright day! Her mom brought her stuffed animal for a few pictures also! Always love getting to work with Reagan!

Yesterday I met up with Sadie for her cap and gown session. Photo sessions hit a little different when it’s a family member graduating! Can’t believe Sadie is graduating this year! Ive been taking her pictures for years and years now and she has been a big part of helping me develop my photography. Congratulations on graduating! We are proud of you!

Officially the earliest session I’ve ever done! Rain and I got started at 7:45 am to finish up her soccer pictures! It was cold and raining but we powered through and got them done! Always great working with Rain and her mom!

Behind the scenes from my composite photo with Rain! This video is a little long but you get to see how I was planning each shot and hear a little bit of my thought process as I planned for the edit!

This morning I met back up with Rain for the soccer portion of her session that we weren’t able to do during our initial session. She has a lot of jerseys from over the years and I came up with this idea to have her wear all of them in the same picture! I’ve been working on it ever since I got home this morning and I think it just turned out so cool! Wanted to go ahead and share it because I’m so excited about it haha!

Yesterday I met up with Ada again for the other half of her senior session that we weren’t able to do earlier in the year! We went to her family’s cabin in the woods and spent a lot of time in the creek! She brought her dog Novie with her for a few pics as well! I’ve taken thousands of pictures of Ada over the years and it’s crazy to think this will be the last official senior session I do with her! Ada is someone that I call on when I want to test out something new! This session wasn’t specifically for trying new things but we did anyway haha. I wanted to try a super wide shot of her with her bible in the creek and I think it turned out really cool! Always fun working with Ada!
