I just love watching this little family grow over the years that they have been my clients. Little Miss C wasn’t in the picture when I took their first family picture and the boys have grown so much since that first family session with me 5 years ago! As it is with my repeat families, the kids continue to get bigger while I feel like I’m getting shorter as we meet every year for their

I seriously could not have asked for a nicer evening than the one I spent with the Wroten family at Whitetail woods! Joleen’s parents were visiting for a bit late in September and she thought it’d be a perfect opportunity to grab some photos with them while they were here.

This girl loves music, probably more than I do, she’s in marching band and plays at least 3 different instruments, one of which she brought to her session to have in a couple of her photos.

From chatting with her throughout her session, she has of love of not just music from her generation but also, “retro” music, like that of The Beatles and artists from the ’50s.

I think this session might be one of my favorite senior sessions of the year. Lindsey brought her mama and future sister-in-law to her session and I cannot tell you how many times I had to stop from photographing Lindsey to finish laughing at something her mom or her sister-in-law was doing to make Lindsey laug

Every senior session I book, I have my seniors fill out questionnaire, to get to know them a little better before we spend time together. Luke’s questionnaire mentioned that he has a love of collecting records and T-Swift aka Taylor Swift.

Katie and I were next door neighbors almost my entire growing up years. The first year we lived in the house next to Katie and her family, we were invited to a block party. And that year, the kids put on a talent show for the adults.

Zoe blew me away during her senior session. Not only did she nail everything I asked her to do for poses, but she also told me she’s finishing her high school career at three different schools. DANG!

Last year I met Kayleigh and her adorable family of 3 when her mama booked a session with me while they were visiting Kayleigh, Taylor and Miles from Indiana. This year I got to meet Taylor’s family at another session with Kayleigh and her menfolk.

Not gonna lie, I probably said, “Oh my gosh Ruby!! You are so pretty!”, and squealed with delight, about 2943 times throughout this session with my niece. And given how many actual pictures I take throughout a session, that may seem like a lot, but it wasn’t.
