This post is slightly embarrassing… or a lot embarrassing, I can’t decide what I’m feeling. Haha.

I don’t think I’ve ever taken so many laughing photos as I did during this senior session with Dani!

But even with the wind doing unpredictable things with her hair, I am absolutely in love with the photos, Annie effortlessly makes the wind work for! […]

Emma is a beautiful senior who is graduating from Shadow Mountain High School in a few weeks. I know I say this about so many people, but I can’t help it, she was so natural for me in front of the camera. Her ability to look carefree and gorgeous is effortless. I loved taking photos […]

I met Allie in downtown Phoenix to take some senior photos for her. We were walking up to meet each other and I could have sworn I heard her mention that she was from Tennessee, I even heard an accent when she said it. I tried to strike up a conversation about life in Tennessee, turns […]
