Chelsea's Senior Portraits!

I had fun this morning with Chelsea as we wandered around Macon & Milledgeville looking for different spots to take her senior portraits! She braved the heat, the water, the possibility of snakes and more to make this session happen-and I must say-it turned out pretty great.  Chelsea has so much personality and is so bubbly it was easy to get her to smile. 
I can't wait to finish the rest of her pictures and show them off to her!

If you are interested in Senior Portraits, don't wait!! Give me a call today and we will get your own personalized session scheduled!

Amy Rocks the Dress!

Have you ever wondered what to do with those prom dresses you wore once and have been hanging in your closet ever since? The Rock/Trash the Dress sessions are not just for wedding gowns anymore! Amy & I had a BLAST roaming around and playing in her dresses. It was our goal from the get-go to make it to the carnival at the mall for a few pictures, but wanted to get a little dirty before that. Between hay, mud, the pool, and the carnival-I am beyond excited with the way these pictures turned out! I have had the hardest time picking a few to preview. Instead of just slapping some pictures up here, I figured a slideshow would better show off this amazing Rock the Dress session!

If you have a dress you want to rock, give me a call! I promise you will never forget or regret it!
Don't forget to leave comments at the end of the post and let me know what you think! Enjoy!!





PS: No dresses were harmed in the making of this photo session! They will all be cleaned and donated for other senior girls to wear to their proms. See, I whole-heartedly believe in giving back to the community as much as possible-even if you have a little fun in the process!

Meet James!

James is a senior at Baldwin High this year, and is also one of my swimmers! Instead of the same old stuffy senior portraits, James wanted something a little more his style. We wandered around a funky warehouse to find some different backdrops and I am pretty pleased with the way things turned out. We also did some formal portraits, but instead of showing you the traditional, obligatory headshots, I thought I would show-off something more we can do with your formals.

Time is running out to get your senior portraits done before your school's deadline, so book your session now! Mini-sessions are also available.

Enjoy the preview!

JMA Senior-Justin

Meet Justin, a senior this year at JMA. I had the honor of trailing him and his friends earlier this year as they went to their Junior Prom, and it was such fun to get him in front of my camera again! We visited a few places here in town to capture the essence of Justin, until I was able to figure out that he tends to be the good kid/'trouble maker.' To round out the session, we finished up where many trouble makers end up :-) I had fun during this shoot, and am pleased to say we did not get into too much trouble! Thanks Justin, for such a good session this morning! Enjoy the previews!













A little Folsom Prison-Johnny Cash tribute!

GMC Prep Senior Portraits

I had such a fun time this morning with C and her mom! I cannot say it enough how much I enjoy adventurous clients, especially when they say things like "I want a picture with a cow!" or something like that. What is even more fun is when I can provide that extra personalization to a shoot by actually having that cow to shoot with! I also dabbled in the formal side of senior portraits today, after having a few requests. Now, I have mentioned before how I would much rather make whatever I needed for a session instead of spend 3-4 times as much to buy it--the girl's senior portrait drape is no exception. With some help from my seamstress of a mother-in-law, we created what I think is a pretty darn good drape. Today's session was the perfect time to try it out. I am so excited about this session's photos, and cannot wait for you guys to see them! Enjoy!!







Can you find the hidden message in this next photo? Totally unplanned, but so very true! :-)

Meet Sara...The Mini-Me!

Sara is the daughter of someone I teach with, and a senior at GMC. We soon discovered that she is basically me, reincarnated! She is a hoot, and I always love shooting with someone willing....no, no...asking to take a picture on an old toilet we found! The theme of the day ended up being 'In the Air' with Kallie on the trampoline (see previous post) and Sara asking to jump off a hay bale and "swinging" on a rope swing! I had a blast with Sara and hope you enjoy the preview!

Meet Kallie!

Kallie is a senior this year at EBLA that I met through Jessica (see previous post). They are best friends, and Kallie's mom swear's Kallie's pictures are going to be better than her cousins! I am going to stay impartial and let the viewers decide, but I will say I had a great time on Saturday. I am pretty sure I have mentioned in the past my undying desire to ride a horse?! Well I pulled up at the location Saturday morning and there, right in front of me, was Flash-a handsome horse! He was more interested in the camera than actually posing, but gave us a few good shots! Thank you Kallie-for being a great sport in the awesome old barn (I'm glad we didn't see any snakes) and jumping on the trampoline-I had a great time. Enjoy these previews-and you decide who's pictures you like better...I am partial to both Kallie & Jessica! :-)

Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice

I try to stay away from the "typical senior sessions" that many photographers lean towards. Time and time again, you see the same locations, the traditional 'tree' and 'railroad' shots. Why would you want the same pictures as everyone at your high school? Not everyone likes the trees, some people are afraid of trains! What I try to showcase in each of my sessions is the personality in front of the camera. It's fun for me to learn a little bit about everyone I work with, and I enjoy thinking up fun and exciting locations that will represent you.

I had a blast with Elizabeth a few weeks ago while doing her Senior Session. Elizabeth is a little of everything all wrapped up into one nutshell! She can be that sweet ballerina, the rocker chick, the dirty cowgirl, and more. We started off with her horse, who turned up camera shy, and then headed towards town. Instead of leaning up against a tree-she climbed one and chilled out on a deer stand, instead of walking on the railroad tracks-she did a arabesque on them! Needless to say-we got a little bit of everything and I am pretty excited to show off some of the images from this Senior Session! Enjoy!!
