Such a beauty!!

I had to include this one because it makes me laugh… We were quickly losing light and still had one last look to photograph.  There wasn’t enough time for a full change so I asked Janie if she wouldn’t mind sporting this super cool warmup jacket/cocktail dress combo to maximize our time.  Being the sweetheart that she is, she graciously obliged, and even managed to make it all look cute.

Janie, you are GORGEOUS and so much fun to be with.  I feel honored that you chose me for your senior portraits… thank you!  XXOO

After flying home from an amazing week in Texas packed with lots of family time, I got down to business today, working away on my photo to-do list with a box of tissues on hand (darn plane germs) and A Very She & Him Christmas playing  in the background.  I suggest you go buy it now, and then get to know my dear friends Courtney and Andy.  This session was meant to be.  Andy had emailed me about booking a session, and then just a week or two later, he happened to win a session I had donated for the Life a Life of Love launch party.  (You should go check them out too…very cool organization.)

Back to Courtney and Andy…The way they love each other is kind of unreal.  I’ll let the pictures do the talking and you’ll see what I mean.

Courtney Kelly, you could not be more gorgeous!

Favorite.

Too bad they don’t have any fun together…

Love this!

Court and Andy did an amazing job planning all 4 of their “looks.”  This last one probably ended up being my favorite.  They’re just so stinkin’ cute!

Court’s got skillz…

Another favorite.

An all-time fave.

Thanks for inviting me to document your love, Courtney and Andy!  I am thankful for you both!!

I love how Mary Ashley styled her shoot, and the 2nd part of her session in the sparkly mini-dress is my fave.  The look was inspired by a Taylor Swift video (Mary Ashley’s a huge fan), so duh, of course it was incredible. :)

Ok, these next 3… I DIE.

Mary Ashley, you are a gem.  Thank you so much for letting me share this part of your senior year with you.  You were a treat to photograph!

I have an incredible amount of respect for Sarah.  She is strong.  She is determined.  She is a hard worker.  She is unbelievably talented (listen to her sing and you will be in awe).  And obviously, she’s beautiful too!

One of my faves…

The day of Sarah’s session was totally gray near the coast, so we got in the car and drove without a specific destination in mind… just chasin’ the sun down Del Dios Highway again.  Thankfully we found the sun, and images like this next one make me never want to shoot without it.  How amazing is this light?!

Sarah, you are GORGEOUS!

Favorite.

How awesome is Miller?!  Such a little chiller!  Too bad he never gets loved on…

Yes, yelling at the top of our lungs in the middle of the park is what every family does on a photo shoot, right?

Why hello, Miller.

“Eli, if you hold your brother you’ll get a brownie when we get home.”

I think Eli really likes his brownies.

Comedy.

So precious.

Caesar and Miller know how to do some really neat tricks.  :)

In the car on the way home, practicing “faces”… oh, how I love them!
