~ Ella Choate ~ Brought her A-game to her session at Union Station! It turned out to be a beautiful day, and as a bonus, we even got to shoot inside the historic train station. Read on to find out what Ella's parents have to say about their beautiful little girl, because even as she grows into a beautiful young woman and ventures out in the big world, she will always be their little girl.

Eighteen years ago, our lives changed forever when Ella Choate came into this world. From the very beginning, she has had a big attitude, a fearless spirit, and a personality that could light up any room. She has always brought laughter, energy, and so much joy to the people around her.

Watching her grow through these first 18 years has been one of life’s greatest blessings — seeing her strength, her heart, and the way she embraces life in her own unforgettable way. She has never been afraid to be herself, and that joyful spirit is one of the many things that makes her so special.

Now here she is, a senior, standing on the edge of her next chapter, and it is hard to believe how quickly the years have gone by. We are so proud of the young woman she has become and excited to see where life takes her next. The future is hers, and I cannot wait to watch everything she accomplishes.

Keep shining, Ella — your story is just getting started. 💛🎓✨

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Even though I hear this at most weddings I shoot, I think it applies to families as well. And this family KNOWS love! Because they know God, they know love. They know forgiveness. They know not to keep records of wrongdoings or not to be easily angered. They protect one another, and you could clearly see the love they had for each other during this session.

So thank you Alanna for trusting me with your session and choosing me to capture the love of your family. It was truly an honor!

Every now and then, I get asked to do something different. A mid-October surprise proposal!! And to be honest, these sessions scare the heck outta me, but I'm always up for a challenge. And as you can tell, she said YES!

The colors are poppin' Seniors if you want to get some fall colors in your background! Walked around Clayton to capture some photos of this GQ'ish young man - Class of '26 Jefferson R7 Senior, Mr. Aiden Usery! I'll have to dig up his older brothers Senior photos so y'all can see how much these two look alike! Enjoy the sneak peeks Mom and Aiden!

Never mind that these two are absolutely adorable together, the real star of the show are Peyton's shoes!! Right???

~ SENIOR SUNDAY~

Dear Seniors - If I could share one piece of wisdom, it would be this: Step outside your comfort zone frequently. It leads to growth opportunities personally, spiritually, and professionally. The world is yours so grab it by the horns and live life!
