Senior || Karolina

Karolina.

Karolina's shoot was a time of  discovery for me. I spent time getting to know an amazing girl even better, discovered some new locations that I love and just doing what I love: telling stories of people through pictures. I loved the time I spent with this lovely human being. Karolina cares deeply for the people around her and I loved catching a glimpse of that in my evening with her.

Karolina, you are such a bright light to the world and I cannot wait to see where you will go and the adventures you take!

I present to you Karolina, class of 2014.

Senior || Kaleb

Kaleb's shoot was great. We had wonderful locations. I mean, it can't get much better than having a photo shoot in a museum and a library! I always love finding and then shooting at new locations, it just makes everything a bit more exciting and interesting.

Kaleb is fun to be around, super smart, and a definite Whovian. I know he will go far in whatever he puts his mind to.

I present to you Kaleb, Class of 2014.

Family Portraits || Canfield Family

This family embodies love.
This family embodies laughter.
This family embodies hapiness.

This family reminds me the March family from Little Women. The love and happiness they display is something to be envious of.
We met up on a cold Sunday afternoon and had a blast shooting away and capturing the essence of this wonderful family.
With out further ado, I present to you the Canfield family.

Senior || Miranda

Miranda.

Miranda is one of my closest friends my whole life. Having grown up together and live right around the corner from, she has always been around. This year, we will be graduating high school together, and moving forward as big girls into the big, bright, beautiful world. I will never forget all the late night talk sessions, photo shoots, and watching her grow into a confident, loving and hard working woman that she is today.

I love shooting people I know, for some reason, I am able to connect better with them and shoot the real side of their personality.When I knew Miranda didn't have a photographer for her senior pictures, I jumped on the opportunity to shoot her. Being a fellow photographer, Miranda confessed that she was nervous to actually have her pictures taken, but I think it all turned out amazing, if I do say so myself.

Love you girl, and can't wait to see where God will take us both in the coming years!

Senior || Andrew

Andrew dreams big.
He told me he wants to study acting, be in a movie and win an Oscar and demonstrated what he would look like when he won that gold statue. It brought a smile to my face.
He doesn't let *anything* limit his dreams. That is a quality I greatly admire in him.

His shoot was fun and unlike anything I've done before. The morning of, I woke up and it was dreary and raining. I was running through my mind all the plan B's, C's, and D's possible. I was also dreading  pulling out all sorts of plastic bags to protect my camera. But, by the time I got to the shoot, it had stopped and didn't rain again until we where done. It was pretty much awesome.

With out further ado, I present to you Andrew, class of 2014.
Keep dreaming big Andrew!
