Amber | Senior Session

June 6, 2010

When I booked Amber’s senior session, I did not realize how awesome of an athlete she is! The day before our session I was browsing through the Abilene paper and was surprised to see Amber on the front page! Amber has won numerous titles as a hurdler for Gordon High School. In the fall she will be running track for Texas State so be sure to follow her!!

Brittney is one of my dear friends. We met at Tarleton State University when she was a freshman (which makes me feel SOO old)! Time flies and I can’t believe she’s already graduating from TSU!! Thanks for asking me to shoot your SR pics :) Love u!Collage Brit

Bailey | Senior Session

April 16, 2010

There are some people I feel honored to photograph and Bailey is one of those girls! Once she graduates from Stephenville High School, Bailey’s packing her bags and moving to college in Corsicana to play volleyball :) . Bailey and her mom Mickey drove to Abilene for her senior session so I spent lots of time driving around to find some fun/vintage locations. I love how much creativity Mickey brought to this shoot, moreover how great of an assistant she was to me ;) .

Although there was no apparent way to get to the shopping cart, I told Bailey how fun it would be to use it, so she took action and I won’t tell how she got it out!! We tried to convince Mickey to look for some other props in the junkyard, but she proceeded to tell us she had never broken the law so she wasn’t up for it! Ha ha… it was priceless :)Bailey Senior Pics122sBailey Senior Pics129sBailey Senior Pics135sBailey Senior Pics139sMickey brought along a chandelier, so that was our next mission – finding somewhere to hang it. While driving from place to place an old blue car caught Bailey’s eye. I made a U-Turn and it was like finding gold! Bailey dug around through some rummage and found a couple of suitcases and a picture frame. They made for perfect props!Bailey Senior Pics147sBailey Senior Pics157sBailey Senior Pics162sBailey Senior Pics166sBailey Senior Pics177sBailey Senior Pics186sBailey Senior Pics192s
Bailey Senior Pics203sBailey Senior Pics208sBailey Senior Pics210sBailey, you are a very special girl :) Don’t forget the calling God has placed on your life. He has a very unique plan for your life and at the perfect time He will reveal the steps to get there. There’s nothing that satisfies more than loving God and being loved by Him! Thanks so much for trusting me to capture this fun time in your life! And Mickey, I sure do miss spending time with you! You are a joy to be around and are so great at loving people! You have raised a beautiful daughter :) . Your prayers are not going unheard.

I am all about candid shots. I love them! Lakrecia was so much fun to photograph, not to mention naturally beautiful! She loves laughing, as most of these pictures show. Lakrecia and I chatted it up all the way to Dallas and back. We had such a great time getting to know each other. The day before her senior session, Lakrecia called me raving about the flowers at the Dallas Arboretum and insisted we take her senior pictures there! It was absolutely breathtaking! I have never seen so many beautiful tulips nor so many people crammed in such a small circumference! After the Arboretum we drove to Richland College for part 2 of the session. Lakrecia is graduating in May and will make an awesome 9th grade english teacher!!

Lakrecia, God has such a special plan for your life. Keep loving BIG and LOUD! You are so beautiful!

Brandon | Senior Session

April 7, 2010

I thought Brandon was a quiet reserved guy, but the more time I spent with him, the more I realized how he’s totally opposite! Brandon is graduating in May and is excited about attending Sam Houston State University to major in Finance. He’s super studious but knows how to have fun. Brandon is an awesome fisherman and hunter so my goal was to find some locations that would show his love for the outdoors! Gma and I drove all around Troy looking for the perfect locations and made lots of friends along the way :) . I edited a few of my favorites… hope you like them Brandon! Brandon SR08sBrandon SR09sBrandon SR28sBrandon SR30sBrandon SR31sBrandon SR52sBrandon SR71sBrandon SR72sBrandon SR75sBrandon SR82sBrandon SR84s

Blake | Senior Session

March 20, 2010

Blake is a Senior at Kennedale High School and an awesome pitcher for the Wildcats! Blake met me in Hico for his senior session Wednesday. Leave it to me to get lost driving from Granbury to Hico, making me an hour late. But Blake made me feel a lot better once he confessed his truck was stuck in the mud and was waiting for a friend to pull him out :) . Needless to say, we both weren’t having the best day! We had a great time! I psyche myself out before every session with a guy because almost all guys dislike having their picture taken, more or less 2 hours of it. I have to toot my horn because Blake did not complain once; he was so happy go-lucky. I can’t express how much fun and easier that makes my job! Anyways, thanks Blake for an awesome session. I edited a few of my favorites…. hope you like them!

Aimee’s Senior Session

October 7, 2009

Meet Miss Aimee.  Aimee was the subject for my first official photo shoot since moving to Abilene.  I agreed to shoot her senior session if she would help me learn my way around Abilene. Well let’s just say after living in Abilene for 10 years I learned Aimee didn’t really know her way around.  :)  After being interrupted by a massive storm blowing through Abilene, we gave it her session a second shot and got some really great pics!  Enjoy!
