Lina │ Jersey Community High School

Lina wanted to capture this season of life at her high school and it ended up being the perfect backdrop for such a fun evening! I loved getting to document all the parts of her senior year from her cap and gown, to her letterman’s jacket, and even her soccer uniform!⚽️🎓 Every outfit told a piece of her story, and she absolutely brought the energy and confidence to every shot.
Senior sessions like this are such a reminder of how special these memories are before the next chapter begins. So excited for everything ahead for you, Lina!

Tucker │ Newborn

Sweet little Tucker stole the show during his newborn session! He was so sleepy, so snuggly, and an absolute dream to photograph. From those tiny curled-up poses to the way he melted into every cuddle, he made my job so easy. There’s something so special about capturing these first quiet, cozy days and Tucker was the definition of pure sweetness. I could have photographed him all day!

Reed │ Carrollton High School

Reed’s senior session was the perfect mix of classic and personal. We started out on the football field, capturing a place that’s been such a big part of his high school years, then headed out to his family’s farm to finish the evening. Between the tall trees, a peaceful creek bed, and the setting that reflects his love of hunting, it all came together so naturally. Reed, it was an honor to document this milestone for you. Here’s to everything ahead!

Charlie │ Carrollton High School

We kicked Charlie's senior session off at the football field where so many memories were made and wrapped up out in the country, giving us the perfect mix of locations for his senior photos. The morning light couldn’t have been more perfect, and everything just came together effortlessly. Wishing Charlie all the best as he graduates high school and heads into this exciting next chapter. Good luck in college, Charlie! You’ve got great things ahead!
