It's only the premiere source of education for senior photographers for the past five years! It is put on by Vickie Black, the brains behind Senior Style Guide, which is the biggest supporter, promoter and educator[...]
You met this gorgeous, smart young lady on last week's blog, and today, you get the privilege of seeing her editorial session! You may be wondering what an editorial session is, and how it differs from a regular senior shoot. Each of my senior models receives two photoshoots per year; I love giving them the chance to get in front of the camera more than once, and they love showing off different as[...]
Austin is a pretty special place to live, and many of my seniors hail from the eclectic and gorgeous town. Most of them also, like this beautiful girl, love Austin because of it's artsy and chic vibe. Meet Candace, a bright and vivacious graduate from Vandegrift; her stunning beauty is only matched by her intellect and heart! She found me on Instagram, and wanted a senior photographer wh[...]
Don’t let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face—and there will be barriers—be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold, and I promise that you will never know what you’re capable of unless you try. - Sheryl Sandberg Isabel is one of the amazing seniors I got to work with recently, and one of the things about her that is so specia[...]
My first edition of What She Wore Wednesday, might be one of my favorite outfits I've ever put together. Madison has that cool street blogger style vibe, which is perfect for an unexpected kind of outfit. One of my favorite parts of consults with my seniors is helping them see outside the box. Whether that be outfit pairings or styles all together. Sometimes all you need is another set of eyes to[...]
Hair is a pretty big part of any senior session, and can really add that extra polish to a shoot. Megan had the most enviable, gorgeous brown hair that was styled into stunning curls and then a loose, boho fishtail braid. It really showed off her personality and her fun style, and I loved how every image came out. She is a senior at McNeil High School, where she is part of many honor soc[...]
Anytime I get to incorporate over-the-knee suede boots, I am excited! Of course, getting to spend the day with this wonderful senior was the best part of the senior shoot you're about to see. Alyssa is a graduate from Vandegrift High School, where she is extremely active in swimming. She's part of club swimming, has been a four-year member of the varsity squad, and is an all-state swimmer.[...]
Lindsay’s got one of those timeless looks; when she smiles, it seems to stop time itself! The colors and the mood of the session was something you just couldn’t plan, and her outfits were some of the most beautiful styles I’ve photographed. We visited all our usual haunts: out on the town, out by our favorite blue door, and deep in the fields. Each shot seemed to capture her personality, and[...]
Maybe you haven’t met Ashley, but when you do, you’ll feel like you’ve always known her. She has this wonderful quality in her that you connect with immediately. I felt like I’ve known her for years! We had such a good time out and about, and the sun graced the shoot so beautifully. We went out at the perfect time of day, and we captured a bundle of light rays peeking into the lens, which[...]
“It is in all of us to defy expectations, to go into the world and be brave, and to want, to need, to hunger for adventure, to embrace change and chance and risk, so that we may breathe and know what it is like to be free” -Unknown Carmella is SO full of life! Her huge smile and passion for the things she loves was inspiring. I loved meeting her and hearing about all her future pl[...]
