Brynn is a crazy talented singer and actor (she performed solo at the Orpheum for the Sara Bareilles Awards this May) and I’ve had the pleasure of watching many of her shows during high school. We are so lucky she’s staying in the Bay Area for college! Looking forward to seeing your future local productions, Brynn. 🩷

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT bring your dog to your photoshoot unless you want them to completely steal the spotlight. That being said, now introducing Summer, who is a very good girl.

Cheyenne's shoot was full of motion! This green dress of hers was just begging for twirls, so that got a lot of play. And Cheyenne had the idea of deliberately blurring some of her shots so I dropped my shutter speed really low for a while to see what we could create together. Such a fun evening!

Caitlyn is headed off to the University of Wisconsin in the fall. But before graduation we fit in a rustic senior shoot complete with a beautiful pastel blue hour sky. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation, Caitlyn!

I'd be willing to guess that Drew doesn't actually remember the first time I photographed him, which was during a family shoot back during our Walnut Grove Elementary days. But this last time, for his senior pictures, was pretty epic. And a testament to how you don't need to overthink what you are going to wear! Congratulations on your upcoming graduation, Drew!

Sometimes you just need to pull the trigger and say today’s the day no matter what. And when I offered to reschedule Zara’s shoot she said that she didn’t want to wait so we powered through! Zara, I had an absolute blast with you and congratulations on going to American University in the fall.

Top of mind for seniors with big plans: transitions can often be difficult. One of those difficult transitions: getting out of the TCU cowboy boots and into the brown ones during senior pictures. Ha! Once again, a big shout out to moms for getting the job done!

If you’re curious about how a shot like this comes together, today I’m spilling the tea. What do you think: would you enjoy a stylized shoot?
