My awesome track star

I’m a proud momma, and I love to brag about my girls, so brace yourself or just keep scrolling ’cause it’s about to get mushy! It’s been awesome to watch Reg’s make sacrifices every day, showing discipline both on and off the field.  Keeping it real here, this girl seems to have to work a…

What to wear for your portrait session

I finally pulled some ideas together to post here for all of my clients wondering, “My session is coming up, what should I wear?” -or- “How should I dress my family?”  The answer varies, obviously, depending on whether you’re a senior coming in for senior pictures, or you’re bringing your child in, or you’re preparing…

Miss Cheyenne | Columbia Central High School 2013 Senior

I LOVE my high school seniors, and Cheyenne is no exception.  I photographed Cheyenne on a [very] chilly November afternoon.  She had carefully planned out her outfits and came looking stunning with beautiful hair and makeup.  In spite of the cold afternoon she was able to let her personality shine through beautifully. Chey has a…

This is it!  My very first 12-hour sale cooked up special just for the graduating class of 2014.  High school seniors, mark your calendars!  This 12-hour sale is April 1st (I know… April Fools Day, but honest, this is no joke!) How do you take advantage of this awesome deal, you ask? 1.  Mark your…

Sweet & Beautiful Sydney | Senior Photography

So wow, January is gone and we’re knee deep in February!   And we finally have some snow.  There’s no point in winter without snow, in my humble opinion.   To be truthful, I LOVE snow (don’t hate.)  I recently pondered to myself, “Is there snow in heaven?”  I’m still waiting on an answer from the Big Guy…

Senior-Family Combo Shoot | Horton Portrait Photographer

I photographed Max, a 2013 Hanover-Horton senior, and his sweet family back in August.   Seems like the majority of my senior shoots this year were senior/family combo sessions, which is what Max’s mom opted for.  Adding a family shoot to a senior session is perfect for a few reasons. Family portraits should be taken at…

natural beauty, inside & out | Senior Photography

I had the honor of photographing Caroline, a 2013 Columbia Central High School senior.  She’s one of Regan’s closest friends.  Caroline is the kind of young woman where you can easily visualize her future, and then get really excited about it on her behalf!  She’s a true leader, with a spirit and ferocity that is uncanny.  I see from her friendships…

Caroline looks great and I totally dig the colors and the industrial setting used in the photo shoot. Everything just works so well together. Stunning.

Morenci High School Senior | Senior Photography

I am always tickled (and extremely honored) when family reaches out and hires me to photograph them.  Thus is the case with beautiful Taylor who is graduating from Morenci High School in the Spring.  Taylor chose an Artistic session for her senior pictures and asked if we could incorporate horses somehow.  I love when my clients share their…

Wow! Love them all! Including the one of Hailey and the horse! Well done!

Sand Creek Senior | High School Senior Photography

I’m ready to gush about this lovely girl.  When Ashley came in with her grandma for her planning session I could tell immediately that she was going to throw herself completely into her photoshoot.  Ashley’s hair was professionally styled at Tangles out of Adrian…the wonderful Melony was her stylist.  The day of her shoot, with impeccable hair…

Brie | 2012 Columbia Central Senior

Happy Weekend!  This morning’s glorious sunrise reminded me that all is not lost to the gray skies of winter.  It made me feel giddy about the upcoming shooting season.  Here is a look back from this past year at one of my 2012 seniors, Brie.  Brie chose the popular combo session, which is both an…

Brie, your so pretty it’s stupid. <3

Tyler | High School Senior Photography

Tyler is another Columbia Central High School graduate that I had the pleasure of working with.   I’ve known Tyler since he was about 9 or so, I can’t believe how time flies.  He and his sister would come over to hang out at their grandparents, who happen to be our next door neighbors.  (We adore our…

Valedictorian | 2011 Senior

I am trying to catch up on blogging some neglected senior photography shoots from last season that only my Facebook peeps had the pleasure of seeing, and not any of my blog lovee’s.  This amazing young woman happens to be Hailey’s bestie.  If I told you all of the reasons why I, and so many…

Tecumseh represented! | High School Senior Photographer

Caitlin phoned the studio a few weeks before her shoot and we brainstormed together about what type of session she wanted.  You could just tell by talking to her (and her mum) that she had a specific vision of how she wanted her final images to look.  We mapped out two main locations for her shoot – both were new locations for…

Madison | Senior Portrait Photography

Madison’s mom and I were both worried about the forecast for our early morning shoot; Weather.com had reported rain for the past few days, but when I woke up that morning, the skies were clear and beautiful.  It was a tad windy, but a touch of wind works great, especially when it’s dancing through the long…

Morgan is a senior from Columbia Central High School (go Eagles!!!) who has a unique style and a completely sweet nature.  Oh, and she also has the most beautiful eyes that completely light up when she flashes her gorgeous smile!  I was very honored when Morgan and her mom chose me to shoot her senior session.  …
