The Teen Model Team girls and I met up for our first group session this past February at a peach orchard!  Peach orchard sessions are a little bit tricky because the key is to get the session scheduled when the blossoms are out, but before the leaves come in and take over!  We found a […]

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 […]

Five years ago, I decided to stop shooting everything under the sun and to get focused on a narrow group of clients… this niche included High School Seniors and Weddings.  Once I made this decision, I knew that I wanted to do something special for my seniors… I wanted to offer them an experience that […]

Senior model team group sessions include places that are local to Valdosta and places that would be more considered “destinations”, like this one in Atlantic Beach, Florida. While we always get a few group shots, most of the group session images are of the individuals themselves, adding a ton of variety to their ongoing senior […]

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, […]

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 choosing a place for a senior session (especially a group session, which this was), it’s important for me to make sure there are plenty of spots in good lighting that I can work within the space. This session at Burton Brooks Peach Shed just outside of Valdosta, Ga was the perfect spot! They’re famous […]

Photographing senior portraits in NYC is a dream that nudged its way into my thinking a couple of years ago. I knew it would epic, full of incredible images and oh-so-fun, but it also made me nervous. I’d been to NYC before, but it’s been years and never have I taken clients there. It was […]

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 […]

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 […]
