{Holly} | Senior

It was HOT and SUNNY on the day of Holly's shoot. I could tell she was beyond nervous, and super excited at the same time. I couldn't WAIT to shoot her session, because she had let me in on a location and a pretty yellow little "prop" we would be using..

AH-FREAKIN'-MAZING.

Holly's dress is a work of art. Seriously. I would frame this dress and hang it in my home. :)

Thanks for sticking it out in the heat with me Holly! I hope you absolutely love EACH ONE of these photos, because I practically edited them all with a great big smile on my face. I love your session, period. :)

{Nick} | Senior

It's rare that I get to photograph boys, but the boys I have had the opportunity to shoot this year all have had one thing in common.. They have great smiles :) Nick is no exception! His quirky smile made it's appearance more than once. Probably due to my own nerdiness and that he had a whole gallery of girls, more specifically, his sisters and mom, to make him giggle. With boys, you do whatever it takes to make them smile, and I am grateful for the giggling gallery to help make my job easy! Look at how cute this fella is!

Photobucket

We got some amazing shots!

Even the more serious shots were nothing short of gorgeous :)

{Catelyn} | Senior

OHMYGOSH. I love Catelyn's session :) There wasn't a picture I didn't love.. This part of my job is so so hard!! After getting her hair done with the fabulous Rachel Elliot at Total Reflections, we began to have a great time shooting her session.

Photobucket

We were wandering (something I am known to do!) and I mentioned an amazing spot I wanted to shoot at again, and as we got closer, Catelyn says, "THIS IS MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE!" LOL! How awesome is that?! Here is a great image from our visit to Grandma's house..

Photobucket

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! This would be AMAZING printed on a metallic paper, or as a metallic standout! *wink wink* ;)

Photobucket

So beautiful!

Catelyn's prom dress was so fab! I love all the details and the color and fabric is amazing with the sun shimmering off of it! Check this out..

Photobucket

Thank you for a WONDERFUL session Catelyn! (And Melissa and Clare!)

{Becca} | Senior

Early morning light. There is something magical about it.. I shopped the idea of early morning sessions as much as possible this summer but only ONE senior did an early morning session with me.. That was Becca. I know she will love the magic light we captured. :)

Photobucket

I was so happy to learn that the beautiful orchard outside of Van Wert is a family orchard to Becca.. So it was extra special for us to shoot there. If you can, visit Adam Apple Orchard. Speaking of, the Apple Festival in Van Wert is going on this coming weekend :)

Here are some favorites from shooting around town :)

{Brooke} | Senior

It's no secret how much I adore horses.. Usually when someone calls to schedule a Senior session that involves horses, they will hear me squeal on the other end :) What is never changing when I shoot a senior/horse session is that the love and energy between the horse and the owner is undeniable. It's like a mother/child bond. There is no other way to describe it. I love watching the interaction between them and especially capturing it...

Thank you, Brooke for letting me be a part of catching that side of you.
We also shot Brooke without the horses and that was nothing less than beautiful in itself!

One of the MANY favorites...

Thank you for being patient with me, Brooke! I know you were waiting anxiously, and I hope you love them. Enjoy your senior year!

{Madison} | Senior

Madison has so many cool images! (Again, I know you have read this here before) I have never been so happy with everything I have shot than I have this summer. Madison's session is no excpetion. Between amazing style, beautiful eyes, gorgeous hair, and fantastic locations, I think we couldn't have made Madison look more beautiful. And she was a total natural. I love it when my Seniors get comfortable and just really rock the shot. Okay, enough of my rambling...

Kayla, Madison's sister, came with us and they wanted this gorgeous shot...

I love the dynamic you can see here of Madison and Kayla as sisters. I can't wait to see this between my girls some day..

Thank you Madison! I hope you had as much fun as I did!
