We always get so excited when we get referrals from past clients! We first met Ashley when we shot her sister Amanda’s wedding back in May. And Amanda was referred to us by one of our 2008 brides, Kaci, so we are just excited to keep building relationships with all of their friends and family!

On a day that was WAY too hot for fall, we met up with Ashley down in Green Cove for her senior photo session at the park and around downtown. At one point, I showed one of Ashley’s pics to Mom and she commented how much she looked like her sister and her in her voice I could tell what she was really was saying was that her baby was all grown up!

Congratulations Ashley! You’re half way through senior year! Cherish these next few months because they are going to fly by! : )

See even more on Ashley’s slideshow!

Monday’s photo session was actually a double header! In addition to Christopher’s pics we also shot Kaitlyn’s senior photos. I refer to Kaitlyn as my cousin, but she is actually my cousin’s daughter. It’s so hard to believe how grown up she is! She looks so much like her mom. And not only is she gorgeous, she’s also so unselfish and hard-working!

Kaitlyn, we wish you the best for your senior year! We’re all so proud of you! : )

On our last day in Pittsburgh, Matt & I took my “little” brother Chris out for a portrait session. I say “little” because at 2 months shy of 18 he towers over me like he’s the older sibling. It’s so hard to believe he’s all grown up! Man, I REALLY wish I could find that cute little baby pic of him dressed up like Santa so I could embarrass him right now!

Well, he has come a long way since that cute little baby photo. He’s now trying to finish up the last of his homeschool program so he can start thinking about the next step in his life.

My mom is gonna be so excited when she sees these! My brothers joke around that all the pictures in the house are of me and she only puts other people’s pics up when they come to visit. Now she’ll have plenty of new photos of Chris to put around the house! Guess I’ll need to do a portrait session with my brother Kenny the next time I see him! : )

Yesterday, we met up with Rachel for her Senior Photo Session. After meeting with her last week, we discovered that we had very similar tastes! Her style is more classic – the kind of elegance that never goes out of style!

Rachel is such a beautiful young lady with a gorgeous smile. We wish her all the luck and success in her future endeavors! Congrats Rachel! : )

During our Thanksgiving trip to Central Florida, we took the opportunity to go to Sebring for Tiara’s senior photo session. Tiara is the daughter of Greshawn, whom you may remember from her wedding that I shot in October. I just love this family and feel like they are such great friends, so I was very excited to shoot some photos for Tiara.

This was primarily an indoor shoot, though I hope we can find some time to do an outdoor session either in Jacksonville or somewhere closer to Sebring. Tiara was so much fun to work with because she is just cute and full of personality!

Enjoy your senior year, Tiara! It goes by so fast. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors! : )

My third photo session yesterday was for Jacob’s Senior Pics. It was still hot, but we had a much better lighting situation and were able to get some great shots showing Jacob’s personality. He’s on the wrestling team, so he brought his letterman jacket. He also loves his motorcycle (which is so cool, you can see why) so he really wanted to do some photos with it.

It’s hard to pick a favorite because we got so many different shots. Here are a few faves:

When I found out Jacob wanted pics with his motorcycle, I immediately thought of a silouhette shot. We had a gorgeous sunset to work with and I hope he loves this pic as much as Matt and I do:

This was probably one of the easiest photo sessions I have ever done. Jacob had a great personality and the camera loves him. One other cool thing is that Jacob makes his own music so we are going to use that for his slideshow. I can’t wait to finish editing and put it all together!

Best wishes to Jacob for a memorable senior year!

When Gina contacted me to do her son’s senior pictures, I wasn’t sure what to say. I had never done senior pictures before but I was honored that she would asked me to help her capture such an important milestone in her son’s life. With the help of Stephanie I think we were able to put together a great collection of photos. Here are a few of my favorites:

Congrats, Juan, and best of luck in your senior year! : )
