Issac did an awesome job on his senior shoot! He is the youngest of four boys, he is reserved at reserved at first but is super witty and has an adventurous personality. Issac is quite the stud, participating in soccer, swimming, and track at Central High. He likes to go on hikes in his free time and listen to good ole Frank Sinatra tunes. You should know that the Seattle Mariners are his team and his favorite snack is cookies. He is interested in working in criminal justice or being a park ranger someday.

I have known Ali, her older sister, and her mom for a long time now and I just adore them. They are such strong, amazing, and inspiring women. Ali totally killed her senior shoot, as I expected she would. That thick blonde hair and those blue eyes make a gorgeous pair! This cutie loves to ski, play the piano, and bake. She is a part of ski club and key club at West High. She is quite the smarty pants and is leaning towards going to college in California for marine biology! Ali has the cutest lil dogs, that she told me she could not live without, and it was fun to sneak her dog, Tika, into some pictures. Ali’s advice for incoming freshman is to get involved with lots of activities. Love this sweet young lady!

Nate is adventurous, and an all around awesome guy. I really enjoyed my time with him and his mom during his senior shoot. When we set out to our first location, he was hesitant about being the center of attention and in front of the camera, but he quickly warmed up and did a super amazing job. Nate listens to alternative music, Shine Down is a favorite band of his, he hangs with friends in his free time, and loves to snack on Nutella. He is interested in studying physiology or criminology after he graduates from Skyview next spring. This Chicago Bears fan was wonderful to work with and I wish him the best senior year and beyond!

Kady walked into my studio so warm and excited, and that energy didn’t stop throughout our entire shoot. Plus, she is #hairgoals and has stunning eyes!! Kady is the baby of her family and the only daughter. Kady and her mom have a really sweet relationship and told me that they like to go antiquing together. Kady is really talented at re-purposing furniture and DIY projects, and is considering studying Interior Design in college. She has kept herself busy this summer by tending to her corn fields and taking care of her three little goats! I loved getting to know this sweet and gorgeous girl. So glad I got to play a little part in her senior year!

It has been so fun getting to know this kind family over the years. We got to photograph big sister when she turned one and now a new little addition’s first birthday as well. I feel so honored that they chose me to capture this special time. They drive up from Wyoming and we get to play in the studio. It’s so fun to see how much Larkyn adores her little sister and how much she has grown since the last time I have seen her. She is so energetic and happy. Larynn is much more chill and go with the flow she is curious and super sweet. It will be so great to see these two grow up together. They are so lucky to have each other. I got to meet Dad at this shoot and at the end her started rocking Larynn and singing her a lullaby and I melted. A baby in big cowboy arms, forget it – a puddle. What a great family!! xoxo – they sent the sweetest unexpected chocolate surprise to the studio for Sarrem and I, thanks it was delicious! You guys are the best!!!

This sweetheart was really fun to spend time with and photograph. She has the prettiest smile and long Rapunzel hair! She was up for anything and such a star all shoot. Breckyn is a cheerleader for Laurel High, she loves cheering for basketball. She is also involved in National Honor Society and Student Council. Breckyn said the best thing about being a senior is the pictures (awww!) and being a leader at school, cheer, and other activities. Some other fun facts about this beauty are that she loves raspberries, her pug, and “Grease”. Her and her mom have a really sweet relationship that I love to see. Breckyn wants freshman to remember not to worry about what other’s think about them and just do the things that they want to do. Love that! I have the best seniors!

Mariah is fabulous in many ways and I am so lucky to have her on my Street Team this year. She is on her high school’s basketball team, as well as a member of student council, senior advocates, and Stem society. Mariah dreams of continuing to play basketball in college. She is one of four kids, two older twin brothers and one younger sister who joined us for the shoot. We drove to Mariah’s cabin in Nye, MT for her pictures and it was so gorgeous. I love being in the mountains and photographing a stunning senior in those surroundings is a dream. She looked perfect in the greenery and her pictures are so unique, check out her killer dance moves. Thank you for bringing me on this adventure with you, Mariah! Happy senior year!

The community has been so excited for this fabulous much needed middle school, so it was an honor when Mr. Halligan asked me to photograph the ribbon cutting ceremony on the first day. We climbed up on the roof and all around the day before so he could give me the lay of the land for the big event and show me where to go when it was crazy the following day. It was so fun to have a birds eye view of the festivities. They had live music, speakers, including Mrs. Steele who shared some fantastic stories about the grit of her late husband, his upbringing and his love of art and teaching. The students were respectful and thrilled to start their experience at Ben Steele. Thank you to everyone that made this possible.

Paul was so great on his senior shoot! He kept me laughing the whole time and all while looking like a stud. Paul comes from a family of boys and I was lucky enough to photograph his older brothers’ senior pictures too. He plays soccer nearly all the time and likes to fit in other outdoorsy things, like hiking and rafting, when he can. He’s easy going, ridiculously likable, and an all around great guy. You should know that he is a Cavaliers and Vikings fan and loves Peanut Butter M&Ms and chocolate chip cookies (Who doesn’t?!) I am so glad that I got to be a part of his senior year and wish him the very best with his future.

So much love in these engagements pics! I took this cuties senior pics a few years ago, so I was so excited to meet the lucky guy. I was thrilled to see he completely adores her and they are so cute together. They compliment each other so well, they are very conscientious of each other and would catch glimpses of one another and get giddy. They are so sweet! I can’t wait for their wedding this fall! Congrats you guys! xo
