OH AVA… 🥹❤️

I have been taking her family’s pictures since she was just a little girl, so watching her walk up for her senior pictures looking like a grown woman was SO surreal! These full circle moments are some of my absolute favorites.

Ava and her brothers were raised on the farm, and while we did the boys’ sessions right there with all their farm boy toys, we kept that same country vibe for Ava, but made it a little more girly.

And of course, we had to have her Momma Jill along for the ride, catching all the behind-the-scenes memories along the way. I LOVE when moms get to be part of these special moments!

There’s just something so special about watching the little girls I photographed years ago grow into beautiful young women. ❤️

I still have a few spots available for seniors for the rest of the year! If you haven’t scheduled your senior session yet, don’t let these sweet moments pass you by!!

Grace was a natural beauty, and those blue eyes absolutely lit up in every photo! And BTW…we didn’t have a bad picture in her entire session!

We had SO much fun capturing these! Her momma may or may not have been in the background making her laugh, and honestly, I love it! There’s just something so special about seeing moms be part of these memories with their kiddos.

And the best bonus of all…we figured out we’re related! ❤️ How fun is that?! LOVE IT!!

When you have a talent like Kingston, people WANT you to perform at their venues! 🎶🔥

So it’s only fitting that we get some media to help market him as he steps into these new ventures and gets to perform the music he loves!

Check out this quick reel and let’s show off just how talented this kid is! 🎤🎸❤️ Big things ahead for Kingston! 🙌

Herschel’s session is a PRIME example of how working with me can be simple, relaxed, and still result in AMAZING photos!

Sometimes the guys want to keep it low-key, while Momma just wants those memories captured and I’m here to make BOTH happen!

No need for anything complicated. We kept Herschel’s session easy, natural, and totally HIM… and BOOM! We got some seriously awesome photos!

Because senior pictures don’t have to be stressful to be EPIC!

Ready to get your senior in front of my camera? Message me and let’s make it happen! ❤️

Meet my stunning Model Rep, Sarah! 🤍

We started at my studio and I did her hair and makeup to kick off her session..It turned out fabulous!!

One of my favorite things about having a Model Rep program is watching my girls grow in confidence with every single session. It's amazing to see them become more comfortable in front of the camera and truly let their personalities shine.

Sarah is one of those girls whose confidence just naturally radiates! She is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and every time she steps in front of my camera, she makes my job so easy. I just love how these images capture her genuine smile, confidence, and sweet spirit.

Can't wait for a mini or two more with her to round off her year! I have just a couple Senior spots left for the rest of the year! Call if you need to get a spot!

You've gotta love getting those awesome sports photos along with the classic senior portraits that all the mamas love!

I am absolutely in LOVE with how Jacob's soccer photos turned out! I had the honor of photographing his older brother's senior session too, and those were just as incredible. That definitely meant we had our work cut out for us to create something unique that showcased Jacob's own personality and style, and I think we nailed it!

I always love making these memories with the Buchtel family. ❤️

Are you still in denial that you have an upcoming senior? You're not alone! Summer senior season is in full swing, and my calendar is filling up fast. If you haven't booked your senior's session yet, now is the time! Message me today to grab one of the few remaining spots left for the year!

Since you all loved the Texas Roadhouse shoot of Barrett, I thought I would show you the quick clips I grabbed between photos.

The video is just as adorable as his pictures were! Enjoy our little cowboy as you scroll to wind down for the night 🥰🤠🤩.

Texas Roadhouse, you'd better be making this boy your spokesmodel, baby.🫠💙📸

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

When you turn 16 and have a car this cool, it definitely warrants a photoshoot to capture such a big milestone in life!

London is an awesome kid and absolutely rocked his session. His momma had the hardest time narrowing down her favorites because honestly, I don't think there was a bad photo in the bunch! From start to finish, it was such a fun session, and we all had a blast.

Got a Senior or Teen who needs photos? Message me today and I'll find a spot for ya somewhere... LOL! 📸
