A little Golden Leaf update 💛

I’m feeling so much better and I’m back to working through galleries and messages! If you’re waiting on photos, please bear with me a little longer. I’m getting galleries out as fast as my internet will let me. If only I could make that upload bar move a little faster! 😅

Thank y’all for being so patient and kind while I’ve been sick. I appreciate it more than you know!

Senior pictures… but make it a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. 🧟‍♀️🩸

Who says senior pictures have to be all pretty dresses and perfect smiles?! 😂

These two had a vision, and we took it straight to the back alleys of downtown Oxford!

This is your reminder that your senior pictures should reflect YOU. Even if that means fake blood, creepy poses, and a whole lot of zombie energy. 💀

Give me the weird, the creative, and the completely out-of-the-box ideas. I’m HERE for it!

Happy Halloween from Golden Leaf Photography! 🎃🖤

🧟‍♀️ Senior pictures… but make them UNDEAD. 🩸

Who says senior pictures have to be traditional?!

These two brought their zombie looks to downtown Oxford, and we had way too much fun turning the back alleys, brick walls, and fire escapes into our own little zombie apocalypse.

I absolutely LOVE when seniors come to me with ideas that are completely their own. Whether it’s pretty dresses in a field or covered in fake blood downtown, I’m here for it! 😂

Happy Halloween from Golden Leaf Photography! 🎃

🧡 A Little Update from Golden Leaf Photography

Unfortunately, I am very sick today and have had to make the difficult decision to cancel our Halloween Photo Booth scheduled for this evening in Downtown Oxford. 🎃

The good news is that Carly will be taking over tomorrow, Saturday, October 31st, from 10 AM–2 PM at the studio! So if you were looking forward to stopping by for Halloween pictures, you can still come see her! 📸👻

If you have messaged, emailed, or reached out to me recently, please know I’m not ignoring you. I will do my very best to respond to everyone as soon as I’m feeling well enough.

I appreciate your patience, understanding, and support more than you know. Right now, I just need a little time to rest and get better. ❤️

Thank you all for understanding, and I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween! 🎃

If you've ever spent three hours scrolling Pinterest, ordered five different outfits, and threatened to cancel family pictures because nobody's clothes match… THIS ONE'S FOR YOU! 🙋‍♀️🤣

✨ My favorite fall color combinations

🚢🌊 The photographer is officially setting sail!

I’m trading my editing screen for ocean views for a few days! ☀️

I’ll be out of the office until Wednesday, October 28th, enjoying a little vacation and taking a much-needed break from work.

📸 BUT the studio will still be OPEN this Saturday, October 24th, from 10 AM–2 PM!

Carly will be holding down the fort and welcoming everyone for walk-in photography sessions, so don’t let my absence stop you from coming by!

While I’m away, I’ll be stepping back from emails, messages, gallery inquiries, and booking requests. Everything else can wait until I return on Wednesday! 🤎

Thank y’all for your patience, understanding, and continued support of Golden Leaf Photography!

Now, time to put the camera down (okay, maybe just the professional one 😉) and enjoy a few days at sea! 🚢🌴
