Some families you just can’t wait to hear from again. ❤️

The Corwith family is one of those families for me.

Beth was one of my very first clients, and every time her name pops up on my phone, I smile.

I’ve had the sweetest privilege of watching these kiddos grow up in front of my camera, and this year we even had a new family member join us! 🐾

There’s just something so special about getting to document the same families year after year.

The kids get bigger, the seasons change, and somehow every session becomes another little chapter in their story.

Beth, thank you for calling me again. Truly. It means more than you know that you continue to trust me with these memories.

And I have to tell you… I am just SO in love with how your photos turned out this year. 🍂❤️

I have said at least three of these while holding a camera.
 Christmas card photos are a negotiation, and everyone is doing their best.
 The mom who gets the photo is the one who knew the shot before anyone sat down.
 The free Christmas Season Shot List covers the exact shots to capture this holiday season, so you don’t miss a thing.
 Comment KEEPERS and it’s in your email.

You know when something looks beautiful in real life, but then you take the picture and think…

“Well, that’s not what I was looking at.” 😂

Your eyes and your camera don’t always handle light the same way.

Before you start changing a bunch of settings, pay attention to the light.

Where is it coming from? Is it hitting your subject evenly? Could you move a few feet and get a better result?

Sometimes the simplest adjustment makes the biggest difference.

I’ll be sharing more practical photography tips here, whether you’re using a phone or a camera.

Save this for your next outdoor photo.

Another brother. Another senior year. And another reminder of how much I love getting to do this. 🤍

I photographed Austin’s brother a few years ago, so when his mom Kristen called me for another round with Austin, I was so honored. Being invited back for the next kid means so much to me.

And Austin? SO much fun. Such a great personality, and we were laughing pretty much the whole time. 😂

I love capturing this season for the seniors who are ready for what’s next, and for their families who are wondering how on earth we got here so fast.

A little sneak peek of Austin’s senior session!

Another sibling! 🤍 I photographed Cal’s sister Emily two years ago, and now it was his turn for senior pictures. What an honor it is when families call me back. It is truly one of the biggest compliments!

Cal is also involved in trap shooting, so of course we had to include that. I love when seniors bring along something that matters to them and really shows who they are.

And you know I love when Mom jumps in for a few pictures, but when Dad comes along too, it’s even better. That last picture is my favorite. 😂

Have the best senior year, Cal!

This girl showed up as completely, unapologetically HERSELF… and I loved every second of it. 🤎

Cowboy boots under her long skirt. Overalls. Cartwheels.

So much personality.

So much laughter.

We chose a location that felt a little different because I knew Laila needed something that felt like her…and goodness, did she bring it to life.

And honestly, the childhood photo of her rocking that cheetah print tells you everything you need to know. 😂

She has clearly always had that little extra spark.

Laila is fun and lively and absolutely gorgeous… but it’s her light that gets you.

It shines SO bright.

We laughed through this entire session, and I had the absolute best time with her.

Laila, never stop showing up exactly as you are. It looks so beautiful on you. ✨

Oh, Remy. 😍 She absolutely KILLED her senior session.

She’s a lacrosse player, she’s on the dance team, and she is an absolute beauty. Add in the most gorgeous evening and that dreamy golden sun…just stunning. ✨

I photographed her older brother’s senior pictures last year, so getting the call from Mom to come back and photograph Remy truly meant so much to me. What an honor it is when a family trusts me again to capture another one of their kids during one of life’s biggest milestones. I never take that for granted.

This session was amazing from beginning to end. Remy, you made my job way too easy! 🤍

I love photographing seniors. I love getting to know them, hearing about their plans, and capturing who they are during such an exciting season of life.

But boy, do I especially love when I get to photograph the sibling of a past senior client. 🥹 There is something so special about a family coming back and trusting me all over again. It truly is one of the greatest compliments… and such an honor. Thank you, Heather. 🥹

I absolutely loved meeting Addison and spending the evening with her. She is sweet, beautiful, easygoing… and a three-sport athlete! Clearly, she is no stranger to hard work, dedication, and a very full schedule.

Addison, I hope you love this little sneak peek as much as I do. I cannot wait for you to see the rest! 🤍

Stay tuned for more!!

A little sneak peek from Carter’s senior session!

This guy made my job way too easy. So laid-back, such a great smile, and somehow made every single spot work.

Mindy, I know this whole senior year thing is exciting and a little bit emotional all at the same time. I’m so glad I got to capture this season for you both.

Carter, you crushed it!
