Maci, Senior Class of 2021

I had such a great time working with Maci for her senior session last Fall! Though a lot of leaves had already fallen, we still had plenty left on the trees to give her those warm Autumn tones in the background. I love the outfits she chose, especially her burnt orange romper, because they went so well with the seasonal colors! After the first half of her session at the more natural location, we headed downtown Martin for some change of scenery. The kind folks at Martin’s Coffee let us take a few pictures inside their fine establishment, and Maci grabbed a delicious drink to go. :) A nice way to end a senior session, if I may say so myself!

Congratulations on your graduation, Maci!

Jakob, Senior Class of 2021

Jakob is my husband Jimmy’s cousin, and I can’t believe he is already finished with high school! He’s not the kid I met over seven years ago, that’s for sure. :) He’s about two feet taller and his voice is a few octaves lower now, ha!
We had the locations picked out for his session weeks before, but the morning of his pictures he asked if there was any way we could incorporate a fire into his session. I was not quite sure if we could make it work or how well I could convey the feel he had in mind for those pictures, but with the kind go-ahead from the property owners of that location and with the help of Jakob’s mom who threw lots of leaves in the fire, we got it! It was fun to try something new and do something a bit non-traditional for his senior pictures, even if I was stressing a bit to figure all this out that morning. 😂

Congratulations on your graduation, Jakob! We’re proud of you!

Bethany + Kurt, Engagement Session

One of the things I noticed right off the bat at Kurt and Bethany’s engagement session was how he makes her laugh. We only went a few steps before he started making jokes, and if there were any nerves before the session, they dissipated quickly with each silly comment or crazy pose between pictures— all curtesy of Kurt. :) (Though he did bring some serious downtown Union City knowledge to light as we walked around the old buildings, so it was interesting to hear about the original purpose of some of the areas we passed by! I learned a lot about the history of our little town.) Though I have only been around these two together for their engagement session, I have a feeling that they compliment each other perfectly and where one may lack the other fills in, in the best way. It was such a joy to get to know them a little and I am so excited to be a part of their wedding day, too!

Congratulations you two!
