Anna is such cutie! This gorgeous red head just rocked my world during her senior photoshoot. Number one, she is the only senior I’ve ever had that has asked to pray before her session began. You guys already know that my Jesus obsessed heart was leaping! She is so stunning on the inside and the out!
And if that isn’t enough to make you head over heels in love with the girl then wait until you hear what she wants to do with her life!! She plans on going to school to become a pilot so she can eventually fly missionaries into impoverished countries. Whoa!! I want to be Anna Mccauley when I grow up!
Hello Nashville!!! This city definitely looks so good on Loryn. I was very excited when she scheduled her senior photoshoot with me. I briefly knew this awesome girl from my DHCA days and was happy to get to connect again. I’m always up for an epic travel spot for senior photoshoots!! I still dream of doing a senior photoshoot at Seaside!!! Ahhhh I want to take gorgeous photos there sooo badly!! I just want to go the beach in general though… hahaha
Nashville was just such a good time and offered endless exploring opportunities. And because I never leave out a good story, I did nearly get kicked out of the Graduate Hotel…😅😬 I thought the “no photo on the roof” was more of a suggestion than a hard rule. I learned very quickly and extremely awkwardly that they are super serious about that. You can take phone photos up there, but no bueno to digital cameras. Live and learn! Following rules is always good idea even if the perfect location is just ohhh sooo tempting. I had the best time with Loryn on these and can’t wait to see her rock it out in college!
Last week I was in D-Town making magic with this gorgeous girl. I had the best time capturing Kadie Vick in beautiful Decatur, Alabama. Decatur still has my heart and I so appreciate opportunities to head that way. It’s great catching up with my friends there and revisiting some of my favorite spots. Decatur really has the most adorable “Gilmore Girls” down town vibes and the nature scenery is unlike anywhere else. The river spots are my favorite there.
I just love Kadie’s style too! I’m going to be buying these shoes soon! And the pop of color pants are fantastic. We met. up on a cloudy day and her photos turned out so amazing. Cloudy days are great for perfect skin tones and also being able to freely choose any spot. without worrying about harsh shadows of a bright sunny day. I love all types of weather because they all cast a different artsy tone. Give me sunny weather, give me cloudy weather, and I’ll give you stunning photos either way! 😘
Bestie Senior Photoshoot for the win!!! When Bre & Karli suggested this idea for there senior photoshoot I was like YASSSSS! I captured so many gorgeous photos of them individually, but also being able to get beautiful shots with your best friend is always a good idea. It was so fun! They were both making each other laugh and we were all having such a fun time.
I love photographing red and was in total heaven when Bre put on that pretty red sweater! And you guys already know how much I love hats! Karli made my day with her adorable self and her cute hat! This whole session was just level a million awesome!!
Nick & Sierra are total engagement session pros!! These two showed up on a cold rainy day with sunshine in their hearts! That sounds legit cheesy but total facts. The positive attitudes they had made this one of the most romantic & gorgeous engagement sessions ever.
I’m so pumped to photograph their wedding day and just excited to know this incredible couple. We had so much fun exploring Birmingham on a dreary day that I’m all in on capturing all their beautiful memories! They are total gems!!
Jasmine is super gorgeous and Gucci for days, but let me tell about a story where I failed. As a photographer with a platform that many watch, I believe in letting you learn from my days of defeat as well as my days of winning. Jasmine scheduled her senior photoshoot with me months ago and I was super stoked. Then, because I didn’t pay enough careful attention to an email where we discussed picking a new date, she ended up waiting an hour and a half for me to show up. This has never happened!!!! Lord, I pray it never happens again. It is literally every photographers worst nightmare to get a phone call asking where you are when you thought the session was scheduled on another day. Total panic doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt, and beyond how I felt, how Jasmine was feeling.
I am so glad that Jasmine gave me the opportunity to make this right for her by allowing me to take her senior photos and also giving her a full refund. It’s important that we as individuals own up to our shortcomings and do the right thing. It doesn’t matter how talented you are or how incredible your business is, you do right by people. I didn’t mean for this to happen, but it did and it was my responsibility to make it right. And trust me, I wanted to crawl under a rock. But instead I blasted out of my house as soon as Michael got home to watch AJ and showed up ready to go. I was looking like a hot mess with no makeup and my not-cute messy bun, but I was there to make it right. I want all of you to know that I do my best to be organized and always give you the most professional service. If I ever fall short of that I will do everything in my power to make it right. I take photos because I enjoy it, but before that, I love you guys! My heart is that after your senior session that you would leave feeling like a million bucks. You are important, not the photos. But If I get to use photos to love you and show you how valuable you are then that’s my goal! Thank you Jasmine for letting me love on you and for being the most stunning senior model last week. Hope your senior year is Gucci!
Beauty & brains over here!! This gorgeous chick is applying to UCLA with the hopes of studying Political Science there. That is just the coolest and I’m praying hard that her biggest dreams come true. You guys, she really is just gold. Her heart is sooo big and kindness just radiates out of her. There are some people that just are more focused on those around them than they are on themselves and this stunning chick is one of them!
We need those selfless individuals in the political science arena and I’m just her biggest fan! hahaha Her and her sweet fun friend, Heather!! Love Heather too! We had so much fun celebrating all the fall vibes and just enjoying God’s beauty. So excited to see Anahita go to the highest places in her pursuits!!! I’ll be over here cheering her on! Love ya girl!!!
What is sweeter than Dunkin’ Donuts? Chloe and her amazing friends are! I met up with them for Chloe’s senior photoshoot at Dunkin’ Donuts a weekish ago!!! And Chloe is super gorgeous and just as fun as she is pretty. When you bring your own wooden stool because you have a cool idea then you are my kinda girl! hahahah. She pulled that wooden stool out of her trunk and I was hooked!
We had so much fun roaming around downtown Decatur and hitting up some of my favorite nature spots too. This chick is seriously magazine cover material. Her eyes are captivating for days. And her hair is like the that flawless wavy look that you pray your hairstylist can achieve with your hair! So excited for Chloe’s senior year and I’ll just be over here staring at her senior photos for days!! 😍
Jonathan went straight GQ at his senior photoshoot! He looked so nice and styling in his suit. We had that lint roller going to ensure perfection with every shot. He is such a fantastic guy and I loved getting to capture his senior pictures.
He is definitely running into a bright future!! And that’s me totally inserting a pun because this guy is a runner. He is super healthy and super smart and overall incredible! So grateful to know him and can’t wait to watch him do well in everything he goes after!
Ahhhhh Karalea, how I do adore thee! hahahah and I’m a poet for this girl now too. I do just love sweet Karalea. I met her a couple of years ago when her and some other cuties I absolutely adore helped me test out new locations here in Birmingham. At the time I had no idea that I would eventually be living here. Totally insane how God knew the plan and was preparing it all. Anyways that makes me feel even more connected to the beautiful girl since she was part of that divine set up. And divine she is!
Karalea has a happy positive attitude that will turn the sourest frown upside down! hahaha she is just such a ray of sunshine. When she emailed me last year to book her senior photoshoot for this year I was beyond excited. I love bonding with my girls and capturing them through the years! I also love seeing them have fun making camera magic with other talented photographers too! Seriously, I’m just a fan of my teens and seniors! love you guys and love that I got to capture these memories for Karalea. She is seriously gold! Love you girl!
