This year has been an exciting year for senior photo sessions. I have tripled the number of spots that I use and I have been doing custom requests for locations. These young men and women have been looking great and feeling confident in front of the lens. Beautiful work, Tessa! Thank you for scheduling her, Brooke!

Getting to do an extended family photo session and getting to meet the entire family is quite an honor. Getting to do it at the family farm on an evening with perfect weather makes it even more enjoyable. Thank you so much Nikki for the invite to capture your entire family. Let's do this every year!

When I do extended family sessions I like to start with the entire group and get those important photos "out of the way". Then I take photos of each family with the parents and their children. I rotate Grandparents in and out in a very thorough and methodical manner. I usually end the session by getting individual portraits of each child or young adult. ... See MoreSee Less
