Emma, Senior Class of 2020

We had a beautiful day for Emma’s senior session last Fall! Though the sky threatened rain and it got a bit windy towards the end of the photoshoot, we were able to get all the photos in without a hitch. :) For her session, we went to a few locations Emma and her mom had picked out that were close to their house, and I loved their choices! From the vintage home and old wooden barn, to the gravel road with trees on each side covered with golden leaves, we had plenty to work with. When you put such a lovely young lady into the mix with a beautiful day and great locations, I don’t think you can go wrong!

Congratulations on your graduation, Emma! Thank you for choosing me to be your senior photographer!

Nathan, Senior Class of 2020

My workplace for this session happened to be Kentucky Lake, and I was not mad about it. :) Nathan has spent much of his life out on this water, and a good portion of that time has been spent on the boat with a fishing pole in his hand. His mom told me in between photos that he is on the fishing team at school and has competed in various tournaments, but I have a feeling he’d be out there constantly even if there was no trophy to be won. It made perfect sense to do Nathan’s senior session at this place that is so special to him, and you could tell he was completely in his element.
I was pregnant with my own baby boy at the time of this session, so it was sweet for me to see the connection Nathan had with his parents. They just seemed to have a great time being around each other, which isn’t always typical of a teenager. ;) I asked Nathan’s mom what advice she would give me as a soon-to-be boy mom, and she told me how they placed a big value on being open and honest with their son, even when they make mistakes. They try to demonstrate how they move forward even through failures. I thought that was such great advice, and I hope we can put that to practice in our own parenting journey!

Congratulations on your graduation, Nathan! Thank you for letting me be your senior photographer!

Emma, Senior Class of 2020

Had so much fun working with Emma for her senior pictures last Fall! We did the first half of this session downtown Union City, before heading over to OCCHS to take some pictures in her basketball uniform. She asked if we could use her locker in some photos, and I loved that idea! (Also, this may have been my first time spending more than five seconds in a locker room, if that tells you anything about my athletic ability. 😅) Emma was a joy to work with, and is just as sweet as she is beautiful!

Congratulations on your graduation, Emma! Thank you for choosing me to be your senior photographer!
