The Last Hoorah… Cap + Gown Group sessions with my SMT are always so bittersweet!  It’s SUCH an emotional time when the parents see their seniors in their graduation gear for the first time… the buzz of excitement is tangible with the seniors as well!  Their choice of black dress is such a personality decision […]

Sometimes I get an idea in my head and I just cannot get it out! I run past this house several times a month, and each time I’ve thought about how great it would be to do a Christmas session in front of it. The pink of the house is not a normal Christmas color, […]

I’ve had this sheet ghost creative shoot in my head for about a year! But finding the time + energy to make a creative shoot happen can be sort of daunting. I had another group session get rescheduled and saw my opening — opened up the model call and got some really fun girls with […]

Each year, Providence Canyon is the highlight of the season! Its incredibly “fall” looking and such a different environment all together than what is normal for “South Georgia”. Choosing this session always allows my SMT members to really get outside their comfort zone and jump right in to the canyon vibe! Providence Canyon is also […]

Every year, I challenge myself to decide on locations for my seniors that are outside the box + adventurous. I’ve driven through and vacationed near Atlantic Beach for over half my life and finally decided it was time to bring my SMT girls there! We. Had. A. Blast. The murals, the little flowers, the architecture, […]

Taking the girls to the beach is always the most attended Senior Model Team (SMT) session of the season! When it comes to a destination session, sand, surf and swishy dresses top the list of what’s needed to make it a success. Add in some sun hats, beach waves in their hair and a killer […]

The Savannah SMT Group Shoot has been a staple in the rotation for a few years, and each year, I love it more and more! Its my recommendation to Savannah in the winter for a few reasons: the temperature is usually pretty mild in January (no one was sweating to death!), the crowd levels are […]

When I noticed there was not a lot on the schedule for January, I decided that a fun creative shoot needed to happen — the more colorful the better! January tends to be the dreary connection between Christmas and Valentine’s Day… a usually cold and yucky season without much fun. Knowing how January usually gets […]

When it comes to group shoots with my Senior Model Team, I always try to stick with a theme, and this studio session was all about New Year’s Eve! I sent the girls a Pinterest board with all of my inspiration as well as some ideas of what to wear. I wanted it to be […]

Want to see what a senior year documented beautifully (and FULLY) can look like?  Meet Chesley — 2022SMT member!  She had several location, outfit + hair and makeup changes during her individual session, which gave her a ton of variety right at the start!  Then as we went through each group session, her gallery became […]
