Caine


Caine is a Class of 2024 senior at Horizon Christian High School. We shot his session at his house.  It added an extra layer of customization to his session.  Caine is fixing up his really old truck, which of course had to make an appearance.  Caine’s #1 request for his senior portrait session was “shoot this as fast as possible.” […]

Three Grands


The first time I photographed this sweet family they had one grandchild.  A couple years later and their treasures have grown to three sweet grandchildren.  It was COLD and rainy the day of their photo session, but the entire Carlough family just rolled with the bad weather and a few bouts of melancholy with the kiddos.  I’m so pleased with […]

The Cruikshank’s

The hour we spent together was so fun. When Emma and Hannah were high school seniors I took their senior portraits. It was so fun to meet the rest of […]

The Mears Family


I love shooting extended family photo sessions, especially around the holidays.  Everyone gathering from their homes – usually someone from out of town – to celebrate being together and the love they share.  It’s such an honor to be trusted with these sessions.  This is the second time I’ve photographed the entire Mears family and they are just so fun. […]

Claire


Claire is a Class of 2024 senior at Ida B. Wells High School.  She is also the daughter of one of my high school friends.  I’ve watched Claire grow up over social media, but meeting her in person is so much better.  Her smile lights up the world and she is the spitting image of her mom. It was COLD […]
