Hello

about my

Gorgeous

Style

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your senior year!! It's your time to shine.

My job as your senior photographer is to make you shine, make you feel gorgeous in front of the camera, and create beautiful images of you that showcase who you are and your personality. There's a lot that goes into creating amazing senior portraits, and I am here to make sure yours are what you have been dreaming of! I help you plan out all the details - wardrobe, accessories, shoes, jewelry, makeup, hair - don't worry! I've got you, girl!! When you book with me, I walk you through every step you need to take to make your senior session go smooth as butter. 

I want your entire portrait to be an experience that you will remember for the rest of your life. In fact, I want it to be a day where you feel like the QUEEN you are! Just think, the next time you'll feel this much like the star of the show will be your wedding day! So let's go ahead and do this thing so we can make you SHINE now!

I cannot wait to work with you and give you a session you will never forget. 

My photography style is light and classic. I love photos that are true color. I want my portraits to stand the test of time that look great now and will still look great in 20 years.

My heart for photography senior girls is more than simply creating beautiful images though. I have a passion for helping young women feel beautiful and confident. I want each girl in front of my lens to feel her best, to feel confident, and to have an unforgettable experience with me. She will know her beauty and her value. 

I know such an extensive guide can be a little overwhelming upon first glance... BUT believe it or not, "simple" is our key word! (You'll see as you read). Most of my clients are attracted to the very specific and unique look of my work (and now I'm blushing over here). Hopefully you feel the same! I created this guide as a resource because I do need some of your help to achieve this look. I'd be in heaven if you read the helpful tips here, and as always, please reach out to me if you have any questions at all!

getting ready for the big day

Pre-Game

Are you ready for some good news? You really don't need to do much! Besides outfit selection (which I cover in this guide), all I ask of you is to enjoy your experience. After all, the best part of appreciating the photos on your walls is knowing you had an awesome time getting them taken.

I'm SO excited. Have I mentioned that yet?..

in case of bad weather....

I will keep an eye on the forecast the week before our session. It can change quickly... in either direction! If the forecast is sketchy there is always a bit of a gamble with whatever choice I make, as the weather can change on a dime. However, I will try to make the best decision based on my professional experience and let you know if we will need to reschedule (I will try to do this before you would begin getting ready!). The most important thing to me is the lighting outside. Even if it's not raining but the clouds are too dark, we will need to reschedule. Dark clouds make for unflattering shadows, and of course the possibility of rain is no fun when you just spent so much time on everyone's hair! If this happens, will proceed with the backup date we chose upon first booking.

what if i don't know
what to do?

I think most of us feel this way at heart. Luckily not only are my sessions extremely relaxed, but I fully guide you into poses and give you prompts so you feel more comfortable in front of the camera. I'm here to see the beauty in how you naturally move and stand. It is one of the best and most fulfilling parts of my work.

And don't worry.......if a pose looks awkward, I have a delete button on my camera, and we can pretend it never happened.

Helpful hints

These are cool. Just... not so much when it comes to photos ;). Gum shows no matter how much you think it won't (hiding it behind your teeth can't last for every shot),  and even if a spray tan looks ammmazing in person, it really throws off the skin tones that I absolutely pride myself in capturing. Your natural skin color is the BEST!
