Reagan Gargis rocks yellow converse better than anyone else I know. She told me her favorite color is yellow and I’m starting to think I’m just on a trend of attracting like-minded people. They say your vibe attracts your tribe. Well that is soooo true because I love the color yellow. I drove a yellow car for a long time and even got made fun of for it. My friends dad said it was the ugliest car he had ever seen. ? It really wasn’t a sports car and it’s coolness factor was struggling but I loved that it was yellow. And my the peeps at my last several shoots have all told me their favorite color is yellow! So shout out to my girls who love yellow! #teamyellow
Reagan is totally on team yellow and in this colorful awesome tribe. I had such a great time getting to talk to her about how great her senior year has been at DHCA. Now she is about to start another chapter in her life when she goes off to college and I know she is going to do fabulously. This girl is strength and beauty rolled up into one gorgeous little body! ?????? flurries of love for Reagan!!
Rebecca is using every crayon in the coloring box and I’m all in! We met up earlier this week to for her senior photoshoot and we had so much fun. She told me how I was exactly how she imagined I would be and how much she loved my bright colorful work. Needless to say, we hit it off quickly and I’m so glad that my in-person self lived up to my online presence. hahahaha. Sometimes it’s hard to showcase personalities through all these forms of social media and technology. My personality is seriously like every emoji!!! I’m excited, hungry, dancing, wondering, photographing, smiling, laughing, and all the feels in like a milli second.
Back to Rebecca, she is just too cute though! And speaking of personalities, hers is bomb. She was up for anything and her bestie Katie even dropped by. I love when friends show up because no one can make you feel comfortable and get you laughing like your best friend can. When I photograph my peeps I want them to be their authentic awesome selves. No one wants a bunch of pictures that make you look like your mom dragged you out for your first day of fourth grade picture! However, power to the moms because I’m totally making my son stand awkwardly on the porch for first day of school pictures until he is like ninety! hahahaha. Although when I’m doing a senior photoshoot I want you to feel like were just having fun and there isn’t even a camera there. I will use gum, bubbles, glitter, confetti, best friends and whatever else I need to so that you’ll chill and have fun! Thank you Becca for being so beautiful and having fun with me! ❤️ya pretty lady! ?
Reagan Gowen (and I have to say her last name, because I have Reagan Gargis coming up soon too ?) is a pro!!! Total pro!!! These pictures look so magical. A few of them have such vibrant yellowy gold hues that I feel like Reagan is actually Tinker Bell! I don’t know if you ever grow out of wanting to be a princess, but Reagan looks high royalty to me. Can’t you just imagine her castle is just off to the side. hahahaha. I know i’m getting carried away but I’m just 100% in awe of these photos and how stunning Reagan is.
It could also be that I just love Reagan anyways. I got to know her while I was coaching the DHCA soccer team a couple of years ago. Sometimes we would ride together to and from games and I got the opportunity to really hear about her heart for Jesus. We both love to journal and just had so much fun talking about writing books, her dreams and how we one day wanted to go out and take pictures. That’s why this was so special because we both remembered us talking about doing this and seeing it happen was just wonderful. Getting to see Reagan go for her dreams is the best. This girl is so kind, caring and beautiful. I’m so glad I get to know her and see all she does as she goes off to college. She is going to succeed in whatever she chooses. ❤️
Luisa is what sunshine and candy is made of! She is ohhhhh so sweet with the most sunny disposition. I was in photography heaven while photographing this gorgeous girl. She has been winning pageants since she was little and after meeting her I have a feeling that I just met the future Miss Universe! Don’t forget me when your famous Luisa!!! ; )
Also, Another thing I loved about her senior photoshoot was her glam yellow dress. I’ve recently been mastering the art of editing yellow. The color yellow is actually a challenging color to edit because you want those bright yellow shades but you don’t want to then get yellow looking skin or teeth…. Not good. But I believe I nailed it! Gorgeous yellow hues and golden skin tones! Bring on all the yellow folks! I’m ready for it! hahahaha
Jane Hollis is totally my kindred spirit. This girl loves everything bright and colorful and sooooo do I! Her favorite color is yellow and that bright golden color is at the top of my list too. Needless to say I had a blast doing Jane’s senior photoshoot. When you look through her photos you can’t help but be happy and feel her energy. This cartwheeling, confetti blowing and tongue stick-out girl is ball of joy. She is way too cute and I’m so excited for her next chapter in life. Alabama is lucky to have her.
Love, love, love X’s a million these gorgeous pictures from Lizzie’s senior photoshoot. She is fabulous! The mixture of downtown colors plus capturing those beautiful nature shots are making me so happy. It was great getting to see this sweet stunning girl once again and I can’t wait to see her excel at college. She is going to do amazing!
Ashley is just stunning! The pictures where she is by the fountain are some of my favorites. I was so committed that I even got in the fountain at one point. I’m not sure if that’s illegal and I don’t plan on making a habit out of it! hahahaha. I was just in the creative zone and was going for it. I think it was totally worth it because Ashley’s photos are mega gorgeous! I just love this girl!
These sweet sibling on prom night were the best to photograph! Plus DHCA has my heart forever. I do miss seeing these guys on the regular. I love having the excuse of being a photographer to see them again and be a part of such special moments. All these pictures are full of so much life because I really love these peeps so much!!!
Have you met Kayla Lang? If you haven’t then I hope you meet her soon or someone exactly like her. This girl was just a ball of personality!!! We were talking like we knew each other for years. I couldn’t stop snapping pictures because I was just having so much fun hanging out with her. I love all the downtown scenes but lately I’ve really been into the beautiful nature filled backgrounds. Wide open fields, greenery, floral gardens and anything that screams spring. Winter is finally over and I’m just craving all the pretty warm weather colors! Kayla’s warm personality and sunny disposition made me and my camera so happy. Isn’t she just beautiful!!!
This beautiful blondie is ohhhh sooo fabulous in every picture! So glad we caught a gorgeous sunshiny day to capture Madison’s cute self. My favorites are definitely these up top taken in a secret garden we found. Where is it you may ask? It’s a secret! hahahaha.
