Kayla is a gorgeous girl.  I’ve had the privilege of watching her grow into a beautiful young lady the last few years, I love her sense of style.  She is a kind, happy, generous soul, I am lucky to know her.

When mom called me about senior pictures for her son, she had a special request, she had reached her goal after losing a significant amount of weight and had dreamt of a great pic with her son.  This was the perfect time,  we made sure to get a good…

It was so entertaining photographing Hayden.   He is a quick witted, dry sense of humor kind of guy, he kept me on my toes.  He brought hats that he has collected during all of his worldwide travels to help make his session unique, he has quite the personality….

I loved photographing Shelby. I can’t wait to see the gorgeous albums and canvases that she ordered, but I couldn’t resist sharing her dvd. Check it out here!!!
