or is it just me? Ok, so I KNOW they have changed since I graduated 10 years ago – and I am GLAD! I look back at the options I had when I was a senior looking to get my photos done, and there was NOTHING like this around. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE senior session, and Jessica’s was no exception. This girl is so beautiful and sweet – she was a dream to photograph. Jess, I hope you love them!

fierce.  Plain and simple.  I loved everything about this session.  Meghan, I hope you LOVE these as much as I do!!

I’m having some issues with my cell phone today.  Translate that to – I’m getting NOTHING!!  Feel free to call me at home if you need to get ahold of me

such a ham. And, I have nothing to do with that. At all.

Yes, this is an icky quality photo from my point and shoot, but how could I not capture Ky hamming it up next to her photo in Starbucks? She was so excited to go see her photo up there. She even got all dressed up. Love you, Ky!

Contest winners will be announced tomorrow!

The July Cover Child Contest is now open for voting! Each of these darlings is wearing adorable clothing from Butterfly Kisses. Voting will last until August 12th. The winner will be entered into the final contest to follow!! Everyone can vote only once. The first 4 kids (3 photos) are “Sara’s Kids”. Happy voting!

This kid is amazing.  He’s not exactly a kid anymore, as he just turned 18 (check out the sweet tat on his calf).  He will be a senior at Kouts High School this fall, and he job shadowed me during last school year.  Not only is he an awe-inspiring dancer, he is on his way to becoming quite the accomplished photographer.  The photo he took of his friend, Kara, won the free senior session contest held earlier this year.  If you are a senior that has a true passion for something, and you are looking for unique, beautiful senior photos – hit me up!  I was in pure heaven photographing something this unique and bold.  I’m so glad Chris asked me to come to his studio for the session.

Here are just a few of my favorites….
