High School Senior Portraits

    Senior year of high school is an amazingly special time in life! You have so many opportunities ahead of you! College, classes, work, finding your passion in life, making relationships, traveling, and so much more! 

    Plus there is the feeling of being at the top of the school for a whole year! Senior year is the last time I remember feeling this way.  Age loses it’s meaning after high school a little. Senior year in high school you rule the school! There is a feeling of being invincible and no one can take that away from you! 

    These are all the reasons that Senior Portraits are so special and an honor for me to shoot! I was able to photograph two girls this year that just happened to be best friends. We ended up having to do a reshoot a month after the first appointment but that just made our experience even better. I was even able to get a few shots of them together! 




     Friendship at this time in life is so important and I know that when I was a senior I would have loved a photo shoot with my bestie! I hope these girls stay close over the years and are able to look back at these pictures remembering all of the fun times that they had ruling the school (and the choir room) for a year!

Time Capsule

     One of the things that I love about photography is the fact that it is a time capsule! It captures moments that snaps you back to a different time in your life in an instant! You get to see time evolve, people change, and children grow! 

     Over a year ago I had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous little love named Zach! He was about 9 months old and such a big flirt! 




       I have seen Zach a few times since the first shoot we had and I knew that his birthday was coming up. I contacted his mother to see if she wanted to do another photo shoot and she loved the idea!  About week after his 2nd birthday we got together in a few of Zach’s favorite spots to get some 2 year shots! We had a lot of fun! 




     As I was editing the photographs it was really cool to be able to pull up the pictures from our first shoot together to see how big Zach has gotten in just a little over a year! He still has those big blue eyes and smile that melts your heart! Watch out girls! He is going to break a bunch of hearts in his day! 




I hope that my photography allows me watch more children and families grow over time!
