Keyli | BHS | '27 {Senior Rep}

If there was ever a session that kept us on our toes, it was Keyli's senior session! ☔✨

When I saw rain in the forecast, we decided to start a little early—and I'm so glad we did. About 25 minutes into her session, the skies opened up and it absolutely poured. Thankfully, our early start gave us a little buffer time to wait it out, and before long, we were back at it.

If you look closely at the downtown images by the bridge, you can actually see raindrops in the photos. Moments after those images were taken, the rain came down hard! Then, at the very end of the session in the field, if you look closely at the greenery behind her in the images without the blue sky, you'll spot raindrops there too. That's some serious high-definition detail! 😄

And can we talk about her hair for a minute?! Through all the humidity, rain, and weather drama, it looked absolutely amazing from start to finish. I was impressed!

What I loved most about this session was how personal it was. We started with her piano and portraits in front of her church with her Bible—two things that are deeply important to her. Then we stopped by the high school to include her track gear and celebrate another big part of her high school journey.

Despite the weather trying its best to interrupt, everything came together beautifully. Sometimes the most memorable sessions are the ones that don't go exactly according to plan—and this one was definitely worth every raindrop.

Madelyn | BHS | '27 {Senior Rep}

Madelyn's senior session was the perfect blend of personality, passion, and the activities that have shaped her high school years. 🎓✨

We started in the studio with some classic senior portraits before adding a few of her favorite books—including a little Harry Potter magic. 📚⚡ I love when seniors bring pieces of their story into their session, and these books were the perfect way to showcase something she loves.

From there, we headed to the beautiful Frank Phillips Home, where we captured portraits on the lawn and beneath the gorgeous willow tree. The timeless setting was the perfect backdrop for this season of her life.

We wrapped up the evening at the high school field, a place where Madelyn has spent countless hours. While she's not the one competing on the field, she's been an important part of so many athletic programs through athletic training, caring for and supporting athletes across a variety of sports. It was the perfect location to celebrate all the hard work and dedication she's poured into her high school years.

I love senior sessions that tell a story, and Madelyn's did just that. Congratulations, Madelyn! I can't wait to see where life takes you next. ❤️

Reese | BHS | '27 {Senior Rep}

Reese's senior session was the perfect reflection of who she is. ❤️

One of my favorite things about senior sessions is incorporating the things that matter most to each senior, and for Reese, that meant celebrating her love of theater. We included Playbills from productions she's been a part of and shows she's attended over the years. While many people dream of being in the spotlight, Reese has found her place behind the scenes as a stage manager, helping bring the magic to life.

Of course, we also had to include some of her favorite people—her sweet dog, her family and her twin brother—because senior year is about so much more than just one person. It's about the people and passions that have helped shape who they've become.

And can we talk about that red dress? ❤️ As the sun began to set and the golden light filled the field, everything came together perfectly. Those images felt straight out of a movie and were the perfect way to end an amazing session.

Congratulations, Reese! I loved getting to tell your story through these images and celebrate all the things that make you uniquely you. 🎓✨

Saylor: Maternity/Newborn

✨ Last year, I had the honor of capturing this sweet couple's engagement session before they headed home to Alaska for their wedding. ❤️

Now they're back in front of my camera for another incredible milestone—awaiting the arrival of their little one! 🍼✨

There is something so special about getting to photograph couples through different seasons of life, from planning their wedding to preparing to become parents. Watching their story continue to unfold is such a privilege.

And can we just take a moment to appreciate how adorable these two are together? 😍

I can't wait to meet their little one in a few short months and capture the next chapter of their growing family's story. 💕

Taylor | BHS | '27 {Senior Rep}

✨ **Class of 2027, we're officially underway!** ✨

Taylor kicked off her senior session with her adorable puppy by her side and a smile that never quit. 🐶💛

Even with cloudy skies overhead, we had the perfect evening. We explored downtown, wandered through a field full of wildflowers, and wrapped up the session at the creek for some gorgeous final images. The soft light and beautiful locations made for an incredible combination, but Taylor made it all look effortless.

One of the things I love most about this job is getting to watch families grow through the years. I've photographed so many milestones for Taylor's family, and it means the world to me that they continue to trust me with these special memories. There truly isn't a greater compliment than having families return again and again.

Welcome to senior year, Taylor! ❤️

One whole year of this sweet little guy! 🌿🐒🦒

It's hard to believe how quickly this year has gone by. I've had the privilege of watching him grow up in front of my camera—from his newborn session, to his 6-month milestone, and a few sessions in between. Seeing families year after year and watching these little personalities develop is one of my favorite parts of what I do.

For his first birthday session, we celebrated with a "Wild One" theme, and I'd say he understood the assignment perfectly! Between the adorable jungle cake, curious expressions, and plenty of frosting-covered fingers, he was a total pro in front of the camera—as always.

Happy First Birthday to this little wild one! Thank you to his family for trusting me to document so many special moments during his first year. Watching him grow has been such a joy. 💚🎂✨

Megan + Alexander - Engagement Session

What started as a hot, sunny engagement session ended with us dancing in the rain. ☀️☔

As we wrapped up the session, you could literally see the storm rolling in behind them. First came the dark clouds in the distance. Then a few raindrops. Then a few more. Before we knew it, we were embracing the moment under an umbrella... and eventually decided to just go all in without it.

Some of my favorite images from the evening happened during those last few minutes. The laughter was genuine, the rain was unexpected, and the photos perfectly captured the adventure of it all.

And how cool is it that we got to stop by their wedding venue in downtown Tulsa for a few photos, too? There is something so special about taking engagement photos in a place that will soon be part of their wedding story. Looking back years from now, they'll remember not only this season of engagement, but also the place where they'll say "I do." 🤍

Sometimes the best moments aren't the ones you plan for—they're the ones you simply embrace together. ❤️

Can't wait until their wedding in August!

Look at that sweet face! 🤍

Surrounded by stuffed animal friends, this little guy stole the show during his milestone session. From tiny newborn snuggles to bright eyes, sweet smiles, and a personality that's starting to shine, it's amazing how much changes in just a few short months.

These first-year milestones go by in the blink of an eye, and I love helping families preserve every stage along the way. Just look at him soaking up all the attention from his furry crew! 🧸✨

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Bastings

This past week, my son got married. 🤍

For months, I wondered what it would be like to be on the other side of a wedding day—to experience it as a mom instead of a photographer. As the forecast got closer, I started wondering if we'd need umbrellas too. 😅 The weather predicted rain all day long. Yet somehow, we only got a few sprinkles in the morning. That afternoon, it poured less than a mile away from us, but our venue stayed completely dry. The temperature was perfect, the skies cooperated, and it honestly couldn't have been a more beautiful day.

The ceremony was everything we hoped it would be, and the reception was an absolute blast. I have photographed a lot of weddings over the years, and I can honestly say this was one of the biggest dance parties I've ever seen. The dance floor stayed packed, and there was so much joy, laughter, and celebrating all night long.

A huge thank you to my best friend, Amanda, for associate shooting the wedding for me. Having someone I trust completely behind the camera allowed me to be present and enjoy the day. And when I wanted to slip back into photographer mode, she was quick to remind me that my job that day was to be the mother of the groom ❤️

To everyone who traveled, celebrated, laughed, danced, hugged, and helped make the day so special—thank you. We felt so loved and supported, and we'll cherish these memories forever.

Congratulations to Connor & Lexi. What a beautiful beginning to your forever. 🤍✨
