Art, décor, family and photography- it's all part of me!
I could tell that Gina would be a lot of fun just reading her emails. She seemed super nice and excited about her session- which makes me excited too! We had a great time documenting the close of a season of her life. She'll be graduating from Texas Tech University next month! Check out this gorgeous girl:

Madi is actually a senior at Fritch (a little town next to the little town I grew up in), but she drove in to Lubbock for her shoot. I was so excited to shoot with her- it's no secret that I have an obsession with red hair and freckles. Not to mention that Madi is super smart (currently #1 in her class), and wants to be in the fashion industry. I have no doubt she will succeed at whatever she pursues!
Kassie called me interested in doing a shoot to celebrate her graduation from Texas Tech University. Soon, she'll have her Master's in Fashion Design- she hopes to open up her own bridal boutique one day, which of course got me so excited!
It's actually amazing that I didn't already know Kassie and her husband, Dusty- they were high school sweethearts in a small town just 15 minutes from my old stompin' grounds. They are super fun- I had such a good time talking with them. It's such a small world.
Here is the gorgeous Kassie:
Don't you think Kassie looks a bit like Jennifer Grey a la "Dirty Dancing"? Except Kassie is prettier. :)
We got a few of her and Dusty together- they've been married 3 years now!
I have known Mackenzie since we started going to The Heights Fellowship almost 6 years ago. Her Dad is our pastor and her family is just another reason we love our church! I can't believe this girl is graduating, and I'm super excited to see where God takes her in the next few years. I was so excited when she said she wanted me to shoot her senior pictures- and I told her I wanted to start in a laundromat- and she was cool with it! We had a great time- here are some of my favorites:
Rachel is SO. MUCH. FUN. That's pretty much all I have to say.
She's graduating from Texas Tech this semester and is going to pursue Occupational Therapy (which I had to have her explain to me). :) We had a great time shooting- after it was all over I felt like I'd known her forever! Here are some of my faves:
I always encourage my clients to dress in what they would normally be found wearing. This is Rachel's normal! She is the President of the Tech gymnastics team, as well as a marathon runner.
Gorgeous Kiley. I had the best time with Kiley and her Mom the day of her shoot. Kiley had such a relaxed and easygoing attitude- it really paved the way for some beautiful photos- here are some of my faves! Thank you so much, Kiley!
Loved these sassy shoes!
Sommer was the winner of my 2011 Senior Giveaway back in December! After my shoot with her I feel like I had been given a gift, too. It was one of those shoots where I really felt to freedom to go with the light and experiment. I had so many favorites! It helps that Sommer totally knows who she is- which is a super nice, interesting, cool girl! She's heading to LCU next year and I can't wait to see what great things are in store for her.
She found a diamond in her pocket!
Love, love, love this pretty dress.
The overcast light gave way to a buttery yellow sunlight.

For anyone that has been paying attention, you may have notices that I let my deadline for the 2011 Senior Giveaway pass without a word! That's because A) I've been slightly (okay, majorly) distracted lately, B) it's MY contest so I can change my mind (haha- promise I won't take that too far), and C) I thought I'd give you guys a few more days to sign up!
