Beauty: Courtney

It was really nice to be able to spend some time with my sister and photograph her. She is gorgeous and you can really see the Italian side of the family in her! It was probably hilarious watching the two of us try and work together, being sisters two years apart we get a bit crazy. But I love every image and it really shows the best side of her.

I couldn't help but here my mom's voice after our extensive orthodontic care "I paid a lot for those teeth and I want to see them!" 

We actually look alike in our cute little hipster glasses!

  

Family: The Johnsons

Toddlers are always interesting to photograph, but Sawyer was just absolutely hilarious! I've never seen a child so happy to be upside down. It threw her into fits of giggles, the most adorable infectious giggle you have ever heard! She is just too adorable.

 Kate's parents and sister also joined us and wow! They are such a gorgeous family. Plus Dwight brought his AMAZING 51 Chevy, which they have so lovingly named 'Old Blue'. Really everything about this was just perfection!

Sawyer definitely seems like a daddy's girl! These two were so adorable.

Kate, you have such an awesome family and thank you for letting me photograph you all. It was really fun, Sawyer is just such a riot!

Anniversary: Arlene and James

Arlene and James were married a year ago. James' family wasn't able to attend they decided to celebrate the two with a photo session while they visited Alaska. The love between these two is vibrant and tangible, I absolutely loved working with the both of them! Arlene is gorgeous and the way James looks at her is radiant with love. Arlene is originally from Texas and was an absolute trooper with the cold wind! But it was absolutely worth it with how amazing these two looked. 

Congratulations on your first year Arlene and James and I wish for many more wonderful years to come! 

Engagement: Shannon and Alec

I don't think I've ever seen Shannon so giddy and full of giggles, even when we were kids. Shannon and Alec are a radiant couple and I love the energy between them! The lake was perfectly intimate and and fun for the two of them. They were real troopers with the windy evening and even tolerated me putting them in the tippiest of canoes (but I told you it would be worth it!).

Congratulations to you both, Shannon and Alec! I absolutely loved photographing both of you and best of luck with wedding planning!

Senior: Sandy

Sandy is my muse! There are so many amazing things I can say about her and I am so glad that we had the chance to work together. She has the most amazing wardrobe, loves getting dolled up, and absolutely kills in front of the camera! We totally connected and it made her session so much fun and absolutely incredible. Sandy wanted something a little different for her session to fit her extremely fabuloust fashion sense and we came up with a fantastic set. I absolutely died over her vintage flair and accessories from her grandmother! Not only is Sandy gorgeous but she is a brilliant girl and I'm so excited to see where she goes after graduation, because this girl is definitely going places ;)

Doesn't she look like Natalie Portman?!

Sandy, thank you so much for working with me and I can't wait to work with you again! You are an incredibly talented and stunning girl who will do great things with the world.
