Ashley W. | Senior

When I say we got creative with Ashley's session, I mean I shot her whole senior session at 3 different restaurants in my current hometown. Would you have guessed? Haha

We started at Casa Mexicana because I just simply adored this weird and fuzzy looking plant. And you guys know.... I'm all about weird stuff. The light was crazy perfect because it was a little overcast but we got some sunshine here and there. Ashley hung out in my office for an hour or so while Cristina A did her hair and make up. You can check out her portfolio here : (Cristina Aguirre)

After Casa, we headed over to Wendy's... yeah we did. There was a small willow tree I had eyed one day when I just had to have a Frosty and some fries, and said "Yep. Using that one day." It's so funny seeing all the looks I get when I just randomly pull in somewhere and get out with my camera. But hey, sometimes you just have to get creative. ;)

Last we stopped at Colton's because Mom had gotten into my mindset and saw a beautiful white stone wall that would look perfect with Ashley's striped navy dress.. so we trucked it over there. This was definitely one of my favorite sessions as I tried all new locations and even a few tricks while shooting. I've started to slow down while shooting and I'm loving the results I'm getting.

Thank you so much to Ashley and her mom for coming to Olive Branch and letting me photograph her as the giddy and remarkable person she is. These are a handful of my favorites, I hope you enjoy them!!

An Artistic Bohemian Senior | Jessi New Class of 2017

Memphis Tennessee Senior Portrait Photographer

Jessi came to me with a brilliant idea and I jumped at the chance to do something a little different than a normal senior session.

Jessi was full of laughter, and as you can see had one very contagious smile. She would have me laughing more than taking the photos themselves! It didn't take much get Jessi to open up and she completely K-I-L-L-E-D her session. BAM. Every shot had so much personality.

By sunset, the sun was fading fast so we made the most of it by running through a cornfield covered in paint. I even have a little reminder on the front of my camera (it's blue to be exact) from how much fun we had! I really can't pick one single image that I love more than the next, I apologize for the lengthy post of images, lol.

Here are my favorites, Congrats to Jessi on her senior year!
