Alex | A Senior Session

A senior session can be a great way to commemorate the end of high school and the beginning of a new chapter in your life. Whether you're heading off to college, entering the workforce, or embarking on a gap year, a senior session can capture this exciting time in your life and provide you with beautiful, professional photos to look back on for years to come.

One of the biggest benefits of booking a senior session is that it allows you to showcase your unique personality and style. You'll have the chance to work with a professional photographer who can help you choose the perfect location, clothing, and poses to reflect who you are and what you're all about. Whether you're into sports, music, or the arts, a senior session can help you celebrate your passions and interests.

Your session can also be a great way to boost your confidence and self-esteem. You'll have the opportunity to get dolled up and take pictures that make you feel beautiful! This can be a great way to feel positive heading into your next chapter. You'll have gorgeous photos to look back on and share with friends and family for years to come!

Finally, it can be a great way to mark your accomplishments and celebrate the end of your high school career. Whether you're valedictorian, captain of the football team, or involved in a club, a senior session can help you remember the hard work and dedication it took to achieve your goals.

Why not book a senior session today and cherish these memories forever!

Octavian | A Senior Session

It’s difficult to find words for this one. I’ve known him for over 12 years. He and my son played soccer together for years. They rocked their little (and not-so-little) mohawks and played their hearts out. His mom and I stood on the sidelines together, cheering loudly, at every match. It’s really hard to believe that little boy is now a young man and will be graduating high school in just a few short months.

I am not okay.

I imaging if I am not okay, then his mama is REALLY not okay.

All that said, check out this guy. Not only is he an amazing athlete, but he is also one of the kindest souls. Although time and distance has come between us over the years, this family will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.

To O: Thank you for trusting me with your senior pictures! I KNOW you will excel at anything you do!!

If you’re graduating high school in 2024, this is your year! I am now accepting applications for the 2024 Senior Team!! Check it out and apply today!!

The L Family | A Fall Family Session

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I just love this little family! I feel so honored to be able to capture their beauty and joy every year, and this year was no exception. We had an absolutely gorgeous day. GORGEOUS. I had never been to this location before, and that can be a bit unsettling, but I totally trusted Allison, as she’s not stranger to photography (and art!!). You might remember her for being the talent behind Go Gray Artwork. She is an exceptional artist and, if you haven’t already, you should definitely check her out!!

The spot turned out to be perfect, too! See for yourself!

T + L | A Couples Session

This one made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Not only are these two SUPER sweet together, but they are SO loved. They never really had wedding photos done, so T’s coworkers came together and gifted them with a sunset couple’s session! I had the best time working with them. We laughed and chatted and I couldn’t get over how great they were together. Serious #couplesgoal.

They moved away shortly after this session, but I really hope I get to see them again! Enjoy!

Josh | A Senior Session

Where do I even begin with this one? I first met Josh’s mom WAYYY back when, on The Knot. We were…20? 21? Our friendship carried through to The Nest, and then to The Bump (correct me if I am wrong, Heather!), and then to other parenting boards. Somewhere along the line, we realized we didn’t live all that far from one another, so we made plans to meet up! I have done Josh’s pictures multiple times over the years, and it’s really hard for me to grasp that he is a SENIOR!!

This summer, they made the trip to Meadville so I could do Josh’s Senior Session. The weather was super spotty that day, so we had a break mid-session for lunch at Julian’s (Go. You won’t regret it!). It was so nice to get all the kids together after all these years!

Now, meet Josh!!

Ethen | A Senior Session

I had the pleasure of photographing the K family last fall, and during the session, mom and I discussed Ethen’s senior session. We decided to wait for some warmer weather, and the results were fantastic. I had such a great time with Ethen and his mom, and I just love the shots we were able to get!

Mr. H | A Lifestyle Newborn Session

Where do I start with this one?! Mr. H has a special place in my heart, as he is my little nephew! Mom and Dad reached out to me during mom’s pregnancy to ask me to capture their maternity and newborn sessions…OF COURSE!! (Insert big, giant heart-eyes!!)

You might remember the gorgeous goddess-like mama-to-be from this post . Well, now their little one is with us and I was SO excited to spend some time with them and snuggle that new baby!!

Check out the precious Mr. H!

Ginger | A Senior Session

Ginger. What can I say? She just absolutely knocked this session out of the park. Trying to narrow images down for this post was a JOB, when she looks like a model in every shot!! Not only is she stunning, but she’s fun, too. We had such a great time! Here’s a look into my session with Ginger!

S + G | Sibling Session

I just love a sibling session. I have known these sisters for years. I have watched them grow into these beautiful, amazing young adults. When I found out I was going to be doing a sister session for them, I was SO excited! We had a beautiful day for it, too. Take a look!

Ella | A Senior Session

Oh Ella. Ella came to me for her senior session, and she was just SO sweet and such a natural in front of the camera! I had a great time with her and her mom and could have spent all evening hanging out with them!!

Check out the gorgeous Ella!
