Abby, College Senior Class of 2020

When Covid-19 caused Abby’s college graduation ceremony to be cancelled, her family reached out to schedule a session for her to help make this time special in spite of it all. She brought a cap and gown to the UTM campus and we had a fun little session commemorating her accomplishment! Though she isn’t quite finished with her academic journey, this was a big step on her way to achieving her goals. I know there are lots of people cheering for her, including Dr. Carver himself, who happened to be driving by at the time of her session and yelled out a “Congratulations!” :) Just count me in the number of people who are proud of you and are cheering you on, Abby!

Jace, Senior Class of 2020

I photographed Jace’s sister a few years ago for her senior pictures, and was so excited to work with this family again for Jace’s own senior session! Though he preferred to keep things more simple with just one location and one outfit, we got plenty of options for his momma to choose from. :) We actually planned to do this session earlier this Spring, but when I went into labor 2.5 weeks earlier than expected, we had to reschedule. Then we were delayed again when Covid-19 hit, but this family was so understanding and patient with me, and we finally got this session in last month. I’m so grateful for clients like these who are the definition of kindness, especially with things that are out of my control! You all are the best. <3

Congratulations on your graduation, Jace!

Ashley + Holly, Engagement Session

Though the world looks a bit different now than it did just a short while ago when these two got engaged, one thing has stayed the same— Ashley and Holly are as in love now as they were in October when she said yes to his proposal. :) And what a proposal it was! Ashley planned a beautiful afternoon hot air balloon ride to set the scene for asking the big question, though as it turns out, it’s not all that simple to take a trip into the air like that. The weather and the winds have to be just right, but Ashley was patient and persistent, and after a few attempts, they were finally able to go on this special outing. Of course, Holly said yes, and I have a feeling they were on top of the world in more ways than one that day!
This couple is so fun and sweet, and we can’t wait to be a part of their wedding day this weekend!

Congratulations you two! <3
