I first met Jacey when she moved to Valdosta and started attending the school where I taught art at the time.  Instantly loved her and was SO excited when she joined the SMT in such an active way this past spring!  We really were able to document her senior year fully and beautifully — from […]

Ansley’s senior session experience went from sweet to salty to editorial to southern… and tons of variations of each mood!  That’s what happens when your senior year is documented beautifully (and FULLY)!!  We began in June at the Meet and Greet event at Quail Branch Lodge and then had adventures at Jekyll Island Resort, downtown […]

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 […]

Piedmont Park Sessions have been a staple of the SMT program for the past couple of years!  I’ve loved shooting at this location for a few reasons! The city of Atlanta makes for a pretty stunning backdrop — beautiful skyscrapers lie just beyond the park and is something that is impossible to replicate here in […]

Heading to Savannah in January was one of the best ideas for my SMT!  January is usually relatively slow, but it’s also got some of the best light of the year — not humid and very bright (when it’s not gloomy and rainy… it’s a mix bag).  We got lucky for this shoot and wound […]

Meet Morgan — class of 2022!  I loved that Morgan brought her soft side and her more edgy/fun side!  And in every situation, she brought her go-with-the-flow attitude and willingness to try pretty much any pose!  The light was perfect and so were her outfits!  I added a few things from my style closet and […]

Meet Emma — 2022SMT member and varsity soccer player for her high school!  Emma is such a happy and outgoing person.  She’s funny and thoughtful and truly fun to be around!  I am so glad she’s on the Senior Model Team this year! Emma chose to have her senior portraits done at Pebble Hill Plantation […]

Tara was my first session after I came back from the SnapShot Senior Photography Conference in California.  And I had some big plans.  Although Tara isn’t really a “girly girl”, I was able to convince her to wear this outfit for the first bit of her session before we headed to our family’s farm for […]

I don’t always shoot family sessions, but when I do, I try to make sure they’re a little bit out of the box — and in this case — out of the state completely!  I worked with this beautiful family last year during our mini sessions, but this mama decided she needed more than 20 […]

Meet Chesley, member of the 2022 SMT, and Valwood senior!  Chesley is an excellent vocalist and is also highly involved in theater at her school and in the community!  She’s also on the varsity Volleyball team and also plays travel volleyball! When she’s not involved with school activities, Chesley can be found volunteering with the […]
