We spent the entire day at the studio for hair and makeup. Kayla Butler styled their hair with their favorite Boho styles (lots of braids and fun curls). Andrea Connelly did their makeup, with natural colors to showcase their true beauty. MY VENDORS WERE AMAZING to work with! While the girls got all dolled up, I captured behind the scene photos of each of them and we jammed out to music. It couldn’t have went better! After showing up at 8:45 that morning finishing my set up from the day before, the girls started showing up at 10 am and hair and makeup started! We finished getting ready in the studio at 4:30 and headed out to the woods on golf carts. The girls faces lit up when they saw the styled shoot set up for the very first time! The shoot included a Belle tent, tall colorful candles, vintage crystal colorful glasses, tons of colorful blankets and pillows, handmade bouquets recycled from a wedding, my fave Target egg chair, an old ladder, and lots of other accessories to make up a boho vibe….
Read MoreGUYS! I can't tell you how many times during this shoot I giggled and said, "OH MY WORD BLAIR!" Can you believe this location is a spot I have driven by 10,000+ times in my life. I never thought about it being such a magical location until about a month ago. As a photographer I am always scouting out new locations and exploring new spots for my clients. Blair is one of my senior spokesmodels and did ABSOLUTELY amazing throughout the entire shoot. These are just some highlights, there are soooo many more just as magical as these!
I may be 26 but you never are too old to ask for your mommas help! I had my momma, Jennifer come along and shoot some behind the scenes shots for me to share on social media with everyone. As a photographer I don't get many photos of me behind the camera, so these photos and videos mean the absolute world to me. (Thanks mom!)
If anyone is wondering where all of her cute outfits are from, Blair is a brand ambassador for The Wispy Pine Boutique! Feel free to follow their page and check out all of their adorable outfits and accessories.

I am beyond excited to be working with these amazing senior girls. My Senior Spokesmodel Team each get their own custom 2 hour senior session, Meet & Greet Headshots, A Styled Shoot, and Cap and Gown photos in the spring. We had our Meet & Greet this past Sunday. All of the girls received headshots, we had food, played with the photo booth, jammed out to music, and tie-dyed shoes. I had so much fun getting to know the girls a little better and hang out with them all in the studio.
I got the opportunity to capture Riley, who is a senior at Yorktown high School graduating this Sunday. Her momma wanted a session with her 12 year old dog Gypsy, so that is what we did! I absolutely love being able to capture pets in photo sessions. When I was a senior in high school, I lost my childhood dog, Biscuit to old age. That previous summer I had had photos taken in my backyard with him and those photos mean the world to me. Being able to look back at those images, after he was gone is so special to me, and I will hold on to those for the rest of my life.
Read MoreHadley and Charlotte were the sweetest little blue eyed blonde sisters to work with! We captured Hadley’s 1 year photos in the studio along with some photos of her and her big sister Charlotte. While Hadley was getting changed, Charlotte helped take photos of her dollies on my props and it was adorable. Happy 1 year to little Hadley, thanks for visiting me in the studio!

Read MoreI absolutely loved capturing Ruthie’s senior photos! She was super sweet and so mature. She brought her illustrated Harry Potter book with her to her session and it made my day! We talked about how we had both read all of the books, and she showed me some of the illustrations in her gorgeous hardback book. She was like Alice in Wonderland spinning and smiling through the trees, so whimsical and playful.
Read MoreFaith was so much fun to work with, we captured her senior photos at Minnetrista, where she drove over an hour and a half to have me capture them! I love when I get to meet seniors who have such big dreams and ambitions. She plans on going to Butler next fall, and had to include her acceptance letter in her senior shoot!
Read MoreI have photographed the Romack family for several years now and known them for about 10 years. I coached Renee in cheerleading at church and watched her and her sisters grow up. It is crazy to me that she is a senior now! She is so kind and sweet and easy going and I am so happy that I got to capture her senior photos just as I did her older sister’s.
