Senior sessions are wrapping up and I cry knowing that the class of 2025 will include my own son.

Knowing that this time next year it will be my son taking pictures has me in tears, so let’s not think about it. Deal?

You hold the future in your hands. Dream big!! You can achieve anything you put your heart to.

I have been photographing high school seniors for years but it’s hasn’t been until recently that I discovered how much joy it brings me. Don’t get me wrong, I love photography families and children but there is someone magical about documenting this pivotal milestone into adulthood. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2024. I’m here cheering you on knowing that your future is bright and that God has big plans for you!!

This girl was a total vibe y’all!!!!

I get asked most about what to wear for a photoshoot. And my answer is simple… Wear what you feel most comfortable in. At the end of the day, it’s what you feel best in that makes you sparkle in photos.

When I have clients smile, I am smiling behind the camera during every session!

Congratulations to this guy!!! Class of 2024!

I am really enjoying the opportunity to photograph high school seniors!!!! Thank you!!!
