Addie.. she had me at “hello”  (sigh…) I met this quiet, sweet, beautiful girl with a cute little giggle in March and knew immediately that I MUST HAVE HER ON MY MODEL TEAM!  Admittedly, Addie said she is a very shy person but once she got to know people, she comes out of her shell. […]

Meet Darby aka… Darb, Darbs, DMoney or as her dad calls her when she upset or mad, “Tookey Lou!”  She is one part sweet, one part sassy and a whole lot of gorgeous!!!!   Darby is my first Class of 2020 senior from Washington Community High School!!  I loved Darbs from the second I met […]

Every year, I ask my Shelby Seniors… What is the one event they look forward to the most during high school?  The majority of the time, the answer is PROM! I had the opportunity to photograph a few of my beautiful girls and their dates from the junior and senior class last weekend. The fashion […]

Every year I ask the current senior Class of Shelby Seniors if they have ideas on themed sessions. This year, someone thought of the idea of a generational Spring session and I loved it!  We have done a smaller version of this in past years and it’s always super popular because it’s a great way […]

Happy New Year Friends!!!  It’s hard to believe that we are saying goodbye to 2018 already.  I don’t know about you, but this year has flown by.  It truly has been one of the best years ever for my studio filled with over 82 events, and thousands upon thousands of photographs captured for weddings, senior […]

I love to joke and say that I’m the one that started today’s obsession with the fun popular red/black checked print! LOL.   Each […]
