Photos that Celebrate You

(because you're awesome)

This isn't your average senior portrait session because you're anything but average.

Senior year is about celebrating all that's happened up until now: laughing with your friends so hard your stomach hurts, competing in the championship, late nights and Starbucks mornings and getting so excited for what's to come after graduation.  And your senior portrait session is a chance to celebrate who you are at this moment in time. . . and have REALLY GOOD TIME doing it.

A word for parents

How are you doing? I'm a mom too, so I get it- you're in shock that time has gone so fast, so proud of who they have become and so heartbroken that they are so grown up. And you're probably beyond BUSY right now. You want really special senior portraits but can't add something else to the to-do list. Let me take the wheel on this one! I will do it all from choosing the perfect location to delivering the beautiful finished product and you will get to sit back and just watch it unfold.

And you'll receive remarkably beautiful photos of this person you love so, so very much.

TISSUES READY
I'll probably shed tears along with you.  I've got you.
