Kennedy was a member of my class of 2023 senior spokesmodel team, so she got in front of my camera several times throughout the year! Out of all of our photoshoots though, her individual senior […]

Morgan traveled up to Birmingham for her senior session, but wanted to still incorporate a rural vibe to her portraits to reflect on where she grew up and as a Chilton County Senior.  Not only did she want a rural feel, but wanted them to be classic.  I knew the perfect spots to make her […]

If you haven’t read about the fun we had at the Senior Spokesmodel Meet & Greet, be sure to do that, but today I am SO thrilled to share about our first Senior Spokesmodel Group Photoshoot!

Okay, let’s be honest for a minute, friend.  First impressions are everything! A drape portrait from your high school senior portraits belongs in a frame at your house, not on your sorority recruitment resume and application! Yes, that photo is a classic that will be looked back on forever, but you want a standout headshot […]
