My One and Only

This one is different. This post, this senior session. It’s very different because it’s my own son! Frankly, I wasn’t sure I would be posting. In my photography journey, all the blogs say, “practice on your own kids.” Well, I only have one and he wasn’t up for me learning about exposure, aperture, and shutter […]

A Boy and His Loves

There are a few special bonds in this world when it comes to boys: A boy and his dog, a boy and his mom, and a boy and his truck. And for a growing number of guys, a boy and his gaming system. This session included them all! Even though his mom wasn't in any of the photos, all the smiles thrown off camera were because she was there in the fan section.

Sweet 16

You know what a golden birthday is? It's when your age matches the day you were born. This beauty turned 16 on the 16th, making it her SWEET golden birthday. Of course we started her Sweet 16 session at my favorite bakery - @sweetpaigescakes!

Drummer Girl

“What?! I was in band, too!!!” I love it when I find connections with my clients, but this senior girl is infinitely WAY cooler than I ever was. First of all, she’s on the snare in marching band, which is the drummer responsible for keeping everyone’s March in step. I still remember our drum corp […]

Maintain Good Will

All the fun begins with the planning sessions I have with clients before the portrait sessions. They usually start out polite, with a lot of I-don’t-know’s and not-interested-in-much’s. With just a little patience and digging around, personalities and interests do start to pop out. What I’ve learned is that we are so fascinated (sometimes intimidated) […]

Homegrown Handsome

This senior session was so special for me because he’s the son of one of my best friends. I stopped at one point, with my jaw dropped open, and just stared at my friend. “Do you realize,” I said, “that he is less than a year away from when we first met each other?!” Shaking off […]

Stop Pre

It’s not often I meet someone that I’m taller than, but I was taller than this senior guy – when he was five! I may have continued being taller than him for a few more years, but we moved overseas for several years and I lost track of the height comparison. Let’s just say the […]

Music, Art, and Reptiles

Believe it or not, this is not my first senior girl portrait session that has included a bearded dragon! But that’s not what makes her so interesting. I’ve known this senior from the sidelines at church. I’ve watched her grow up – a mini version of her mom. Then I left the country for several […]

Drum Roll, Please

This session was the longest drum roll of my business yet. You know how when something great is about to come and the orator requests, “Drum roll, please!”? This client first contacted me in June for a senior portrait session at the end of October. I always send out an easy questionnaire so I can […]

#whoiam

NOTE: A link to a free printable is included in this blog post! My signature product is the Family Journal, and I loved adapting it to the Senior Photo Book. Why? Because I think we miss too many important ah-ha! moments in life when we pass over the details. God loves us, and he proves […]
