Every senior wants something fresh and not something that's been done before, and when you do so many sessions in a year, it can be challenging to keep spreading my creative wings and coming up with so many brand-new concepts. But sometimes, the client swoops in with their own fresh personality and ideas, and it ignites the perfect situation: a super chic editorial styling with tons of flair. That[...]
When I saw Madison's finished editorial session (below), I thought about how awesome it is that we could capture different fashions and looks in an editorial session. I always talk about how every senior should be captured in an authentic way, and I think sometimes clients hear that as "you can only wear one style of clothing for your shoot". Whether that is bohemian or casual, I want you to know[...]
“Happiness isn't something that depends on our surroundings...It's something we make inside ourselves.” -Corrie ten Boom Corrie ten Boom wrote “The Hiding Place”, about her time in a concentration camp during the second World War. Kalah, the stunning senior in these photos, says that is her favorite book, and this quote really reminded me of her and the way it describes her life. She’[...]
Senior year is a big moment, one that often feels overwhelming in the moment. When I meet up with my senior clients, I can see the excitement, exhaustion, and inspiration in their eyes, and hearing about their big dreams makes me want to continue pursuing my own. I don't think, when you're in the middle of it, how important senior year really is. It is the time in your life when you deci[...]

I always ask my senior clients what their "everyday" look is, because it helps me get to know them and stay authentic to their personal style! But of course a senior shoot isn't just an everyday event, so I also encourage them to mix casual outfits with a few glammed-up options to get some really unique looks. Bailey said her usual look is generally cute jeans and her favorite pair of br[...]

Here are a few reasons why professional styling is part of our process, and if you need further proof, check out Emma's beautiful makeup and[...]
Happy girls are the prettiest....that's how the saying goes, and I believe it. Happiness is about more than just looking pretty, though. It's about an inner confidence and joy that must be tended to, and cared about. It takes time and effort to become truly happy, and peaceful with yourself. I think it really shows in Kate's images below, that she is one of those girls. Kate was wonderful to work[...]
Meet Macall, who brought her fabulous self to the studio from Cedar Park High School in Cedar Park, TX. Macall has a wonderfully sweet personality and equally fierce sense of style. While a lot of our girls go with a more sweet and soft look for their wardrobe and session, Macall's style goes the opposite direction. Macall loves fashion, editorial style, and wanted her session to go more along the[...]
