senior sneak peek


i just can’t imagine how her mama felt when she saw these pictures. what a gorgeous young woman her first baby has become! this fall she will be leaving for her first year of college. oh, the heartache of letting your baby go be a grown-up!

my babies are still little, so i have a while before i have to think about it... because when i do, dear heavens, break out the tissue.

when we looked at the pictures together, when i was finally finished editing, mama and i both had tears in our eyes. and, for those of you who know me, this is the ultimate compliment.

these pictures were taken late summer. i know, i’m a procrastinator! hey, i’ve had a lot on my plate. but i’m glad i’m finally getting to it. (by the way, they had the pictures within days of shooting. it’s just my blog that i can’t seem to make time for. sorry.)

it was a gorgeous evening.

perfect light.

like honey.

it makes me so darn happy.

giddy actually.

i’m such a nerd.

and, before I forget... here’s a link to the web gallery where you can see the entire shoot.


it makes such a difference when you are comfortable with yourself. you can see in the photographs that she is enjoying the shoot, she’s comfortable in her own skin and willing to be directed. SO helpful.


 for some photographers, shooting any time of day is acceptable. for me it just isn’t. it never has been. you see, i have a love affair with light. and there’s a time of day that’s perfect. this is when you get what you are looking for, but, more importantly, you get something unexpected.

anyone can shoot a photo. but i hope it’s my love of light that brings something unique and special to the work i do.


and a few more...
