Last fall I saw a photo of myself that broke my soul.
I was standing in a beautiful studio seeing shots pop onto the screen. I stared at the images and couldn’t breathe. My stomach flipped. I was looking at a photo of me – and I couldn’t even SEE myself….
What happens when every girl on the team loves shades of purple and lavender, and I find a scrap of vintage fabric at a goodwill?
How do I begin to describe Paige? Normally I ask my seniors what they are involved in and what they do in their free time. With Paige I never got to the second question! Maybe it is the fact that besides being an online Honor Role High School student, Paige is a firefighter (who was […]
When Kayla first walked into my studio for her senior consultation – I found myself working really hard not to stare. Her. EYES. They smoldered, they were mysterious, and her hair! Kayla has an air to her that I find very mysterious, brooding. She is both intimidating and mesmerizing. I LOVED everything about Kayla’s look […]
What is the coolest place you can imagine for your senior photoshoot? I know you’ve all been waiting for part Two of our Airport Shoot! My incredible 2019 Senior Team (more about these amazing girls HERE) decided the Parsons Tri City Airport was the spot to have our shoot! Remember how in Part One – I told […]
Brooklyn – 2019 Senior from Parsons High School. Something I love about Brooklyn is her ability to stare deeply into the camera with quiet confidence. Brooklyn brought in her gorgeous red prom dress to the studio so we could take some shots at the beginning of the session. All I can think is Vogue […]
The first time I sat down and met Kynli and her mom to talk about her senior session we got so busy chatting we lost track of time! I quickly came to love Kynli’s zest for life and her energy and passion that she brought to everything she does! I love simplicity and in this […]
Every year I love coming up with amazing shoot concepts inspired by the kids on my senior team. You’ve already met my 2019 Senior Team here: but what has blown me away with Jensen, Brooklyn, Halle, and Kynli is how much fun we have had on two VERY different concepts!! You may have seen sneak […]
When your oldest child is ready to graduate – and planning to drive away to campus in just a few months – what is a mom to do? Plan a family photo shoot, so you can see their smiling face on your walls even when they aren’t home for dinner. Carla and Rachel wanted […]
Stephanie told me it had been years since they had family pictures. In fact – as she sat in the consult she teared up describing a severe storm that damaged their home – and water destroying not just countless things inside their home – but most of the pictures of her oldest daughter Jaenlin. “I […]
I think my favorite thing of all time about my session with Caden was the fact that he actually played the guitar whenever they were in his hands during his session. It was like a personalized soundtrack celebrating his years of musical work and all he has accomplished through high school. He isn’t one to […]
I love the snow – I do. But after cold and clouds and slush I am always ready to see the sunshine!
One of Ashleigh’s outfits for her session was a little black dress – and it was a perfect, stylish choice. I love seeing girls get up from hair and makeup in the studio – slip into a favorite look – and see a confident young woman emerge before my eyes!
