I’m so behind on blogging - Covid has completely jacked up 2020 in every way, shape and form! I need to get caught up on getting some of these class of 2020 seniors on the blog so here we go:)

Up first - Bailey! I met with Bailey and her mom to discuss senior portraits and one of the first things she menitoned was that she was really just doing this because her mom wanted these pictures. Not the first time I’ve heard this from a senior;) She wasn’t super excited about doing pictures because it just didn’t seem necessary to her.

I get it - you all are the most photographed generation ever! Everyone has a camera on them at all times and the amount of photographs you guys take in a day equals what I took in maybe six months as a teen! Who needs official, boring old posed portraits now right??? Uh, yeah, that’s not what I do anyway - so fast forward to Bailey’s session and nothing makes my heart sign any louder than after viewing their images, someone like Bailey tells me how much fun she had and how much she LOVES her senior portraits. At the end of the day, mom always knows best, right:)

This girl killed it in every image!!!

I have known this beautiful girl since she was about 9 years old. I can hardly believe that she is a high school senior this year! I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Kiersten several times and it is always a compete joy to have her in front of my camera. She’s such a natural and is so great in taking direction that she makes it look effortless! I love every single image we take together and its always so hard to narrow them down!

The ultimate joy is getting to spend time with this amazing girl and her family and I am so thrilled that they trusted me to capture these wonderful memories of her senior year. I know that a whole world of wonderful things await Kiersten and I can’t wait to see all of the adventures that await her!

Ashley came in for her first meeting with her whole family and I knew that right away that this was going to be an amazing time to create her senior session. We worked together over a few weeks to get locations lined up and wardrobe decided on. I love when seniors are so invested in making their session personal and completely unique to their story. Ashley was all about it and we had a plan to not only capture gorgeous senior portraits that celebrated her love of the outdoors but also her passion for scuba diving. I know we got exactly what she was hoping for and when parents tear up at the results than I’ve done my job precisely as I had planned and hoped for! Ashley - thank you for trusting me with your senior portraits and I can’t wait to see what amazing adventures lie ahead for you!

It's no joke to say that I had probably 4x as many images as I could possibly share from McKenna's session! No need to add a lot of fluffy words either; these portraits speak for themselves! I had so much fun capturing this time for this truly wonderful girl and I know that her whole family will treasure the amazing artwork we created! I can't wait to work with her again in the spring for something truly spectacular; I'll keep it a surprise but I'm so excited!!!
