Summer Ballerina + Senior Spokesmodel Shoot at Creekside Gahanna Every once in a while, I’ll have a session where I just laugh and stop giving posing direction, because the model is just killing it even when I don’t say a word. Don’t get me wrong, the method I use to pose my clients is a huge part of […]

Creekside Gahanna Meet Cassady, my next 2017 senior spokesmodel! We had such a great time exploring Creekside Gahanna for her senior session and I can’t even believe I’d never been there before! We happened to be there right before the start of the blues and jazz festival, and the sunset was absolutely beautiful that day! […]

Inniswood Metro Gardens Meet Katie!!! Katie is the first member of the class of 2017 that I’ve photographed and she also happens to be one of my senior spokesmodels!

Dylan and Torres are twin brother and sister both graduating from Dublin Scioto high school this year. They were my first ever *twin* seniors to photograph, and they made the session so much fun! We were able to take the majority of their images in and around their neighborhood, which made it easy for one […]

We […]

Archanaa | 2016 Senior I say this every time, but I really do get to work with the most incredible seniors! Archanaa’s senior session was my first of 2016 and it got me so excited for the rest of the season! She loves Chipotle and java chip frappucinos (also my husband’s favorites– twins?!), and has […]

Mack | 2015 Senior The morning of Mack’s senior portraits, it was foggy. Realllyyyy foggy. I thought it would clear up as the morning continued, but when we wrapped up over an hour later, the fog was just as dense as ever. BUT, I ended up absolutely loving the way the fog cascaded through the […]
