(EARLY) Black Friday Double Gift Certificate Sale

We are starting Black Friday a little early! We will hold a double gift certificate sale for Black Friday!

How it works: You buy a Gift Certificate in the increments of $25, $50, $75, and $100, and your Gift Certificate will be doubled if you buy on Black Friday! $25 becomes $50, $50 becomes $100, $75 becomes $150, and $100 becomes $200.

It's a perfect fit for anyone, you are giving the gift of documenting memories, and you look like you spent a fourtune! :) It's a win-win all around!

You can copy and paste this blog address into an email and send it to your favorite gift giver, or you can post this on your facebook or twitter so all of your gift givers can see it! Share the love <3

Happy shopping.. another bonus, you won't get trampled shopping here ;) YAY!

{Abbie} | Senior

On more than one occasion, I have been blessed to know my clients when they were younger. In Abbie's instance, however, it made me *gulp* to know she was a Senior because I knew Abbie when she was a wild-haired little beauty 12 years ago. She was a curious girl who I always saw when I would occasionally visit her older brother, Adam. It's hard to believe that little girl that would hang on her older brothers every last word, is now as old as I was when I first met her. THAT is very hard for me to admit, because I still feel 17 inside :)

I was overjoyed when Abbie's mom, Michelle, emailed me to set up her senior shoot. Not only was I excited to shoot for Abbie, but also the kind words Michelle had for me and my work. I always felt a kindred spirit when I was in her presence, she is so warm and inviting. Makes the whole experience of Senior images so worthwhile when you have people so awesome to work with.

Abbie's session was absolutely wonderful all around. I love her images, and I even got to pay a visit to my old friend, Adam, his wife and son, and the Dart that I coveted rides in as a teenager :) Many great memories revisited,many laughed over and cringeworthy (on my part), during Abbie's shoot! ;)

Thank you, Abbie! I hope you enjoy your senior year to the fullest and now I am sure that that wild-haired beauty has grown into a goregous, amazing and fun young woman :)

{Nick} | Senior

If there were a poster child for what I want in all the boy senior clients I want to shoot, Nick would be it. In fact, the more I think about it.. If I were a boy, I would probably BE Nick.

It is no secret, and it's usually a ridiculed one from the crazy women I hang out with, that I have a little piece of my heart for guys with long hair. I also have a love of the unwashed, bearded folk as well, but Nick does not fit into that category. When he showed up with his hair down. I decided I had to keep the professing of my love of his hair to a minimum. I failed. Many, many times, I failed.

This kid also knows good music. He smiled when he looked through my music collection. I smiled because I love his hair. SEE?! I cannot stop. He brought his guitar (Bonus points!) and he wasn't kidding around, he knows his stuff. I think I took 80,000 images of him playing because it was so awesome I didn't want to interrupt the amazingness :)

Thank you Nick and your hair. ;)

Rain, Rain, go away come again another day! It's a song alot of seniors sing when it looks downright damp and dreary on the day they are scheduled for senior pics.. Mackenzie was no excpetion! But what's a little rain?! Do you think drops of H20 can stop me? Heck no?! I am a super-freakin-hero! ;)

None the less, Kenzie was a bit nervous about shooting in the rain, but assured her that everything would be fine :) Speaking of fine, look how Kenzie rocked out her rainy day session...

And what would a rainy day session be without having a little fun in the water? We used our last shot, and a fabulous maxi dress to play in the puddles :)

Thank you, Kenzie! Have a great Senior year!!

Brooke has a smile that could light up a room. I mean it, just looking at her pictures while editing made me want to smile :)

We got some fantastic shots and even got to take some with her friends, one of my many favorites of the group is this one:

Brooke, thank you for choosing me! And for being so insanely patient while I have been laid up. I know you were anticipating your images as much as you were aticipating the shoot itself :) You are a beuatiful girl! Enjoy your senior year :)
