I had no doubt going into this session that it would be super fun.  But, I did doubt my ability to pick the right locations for her.  I’ve never struggled so much with location choice.  Oy!  While Hilary’s outward appearance is gorgeous and hot, her personality is so sweet and humble … all smiles.  So do I go for the edgy locations or the classic locations?  Dilemma!  We settled for a little of each, and I’m so thrilled with her session.  Thanks, Brenda and Jenn, for all of your help!

From the first moment of our consultation meeting over a year ago, I knew that Carley and Mike were the real deal.  Their calmness and classiness is amazingly contagious.  The wedding was wonderfully timeless … from the dresses, to the colors, to the church and even the general attitudes.  Carley managed to orchestrate a seamless day.  (Carley, when in doubt of a career look up wedding planning!)

Thank you, Mike and Carley, for inviting me to join you on your most amazing day.  Your love and devotion shine so brightly.  You make a beautiful, honest, real couple.  Enjoy your sneak peak!

I have far too many favorites.  Please view the gallery below for the full treatment!

Dear, sweet Elisabeth is totally growing up!  You may remember this little face … and the crazy curls.  She’s on her way to 3 years old!  We’ll let the photos speak of her cuteness.

We had a bit of crazy, silly fun in her bedroom. 

As Ashley steps out the the car she says, “I’m nervous!  I really don’t know how to pose or do any of this.”  I do my best to shake her nerves away, and we begin.  Ummm … did you just say you didn’t know how to pose?  I beg to differ!  Ashley knocked her senior session out of the park!  She was adorably sweet, humble and a bit unsure, yet somehow managed to find that inner-Ashley who is strong, confident and radiant.  Good times!

A gorgeous, sweet 2010 senior girl surrounded by a gorgeous, sweet family.  What a wonderful group of people!  Lindyn showed up to her session with full crew in tow (sisters, parents and boyfriend.)  When this happens it’s always a sure sign that the family is very close and enjoys staying together.  Definitely the case here!  Lindyn and her family provided me with a very relaxing and enjoyable night.  Dad got a little teary.  Mom was blown away by her daughter’s beauty.  Sisters were making plans for their senior photos. And boyfriend … well … I’m pretty sure he was quite proud.  Thanks, guys, for a great night!
