Beauty: Christa

 Christa has always been absolutely stunning. I photographed her years ago when we were seniors and I was so excited when her name came up from my Art Walk giveaway. Then she pulled out a sequin dress and we all know I can never resist sequins. 

Christa's natural beauty is as radiant as her soul. She is genuinely one of the kindest and most caring people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is vibrant and vivacious and I love that every bit of that glows in her pictures. We also shot some with her adorable boyfriend Tyler. The two of them are hilarious and the perfect pair. 

Christa, thank you so much for always supporting me and your words of encouragement. You are an incredible woman and I will always adore you! Also, a huge thank you for not only standing but laying in that absolutely freezing water, you are fabulous girl!

Seniors: Kaienne

I was really excited when Kaienne contacted me to do her seniors pictures. Her sister was the first to ask me many years ago and was my sort of launch into the portrait photography world! Kaienne is stunning and I am absolutely in love with her long hair! Despite our location difficulties and the weather, she looked absolutely fabulous! 

Thank you so much Kaienne for picking me as your senior photographer! 

Beauty: Becca

Many of my clients recognize this beautiful face as my dedicated and incredible assistant Becca. She is queen reflector carrying, hair tie catching, purse holding, awesomeness that is my best friend from highschool! She is also the only person I allow to call my Cat-a-lyn (well, and her mom). I've never really gotten the chance to photograph her however since she is usually the one helping me on shoots. Before a girls dinner I had to take the chance to get her picture, she is too beautiful not to be photographed. 

Thank you so much for all the years of helping me in my business Becca and for all of the years of friendship, you are fabulous and I can't wait to have you live closer to me in Oregon!

Anniversary: Katie and Michael

Katie and I have quite the story. We have had times where we couldn't be separated and years where we didn't speak, but she has always come through for me in the end. I was heartbroken when I couldn't attend her and Mikey's wedding last summer. I planned this session for their anniversary and I'm so glad I was able to. The love between these two is radiant and they share that love with their two children. This is truly a special family and I am so honored to have Katie as one of my dearest friends. 

Katie and Michael, thank you so much for letting my photograph you two. I am so excited for you to start this new chapter in your lives and that I get to be a part of it.
