I thoroughly enjoyed Corey’s senior portrait session in Steubenville OH. We decided to use the campus of Franciscan University and it was a great choice! The trees were all brightly colored and this was where his parents met!! During his session I got to chat with his mother and found out that his father is from the town in NY where Matthew and I had our wedding reception! What a small world!!

It always blows me away when clients are willing to drive over an hour just to have their photos taken! And that’s exactly what Alex and her mom did last Sunday! We actually had her session scheduled the week prior but that day was SUPER rainy and dark so we bumped it a week later and we got the most perfect evening for photos!

This senior session in Fairport, NY was seriously. A. DREAM. Linnea suggested we take pictures in the field across from her home and when I arrived I knew this would be PERFECT! Linnea is friends with my younger sister Becca and I’ve known her since she was a little girl. Now she’s all grown up, heading into her senior year! Gosh, now I feel OLD!

The village of Pittsford, NY with its classic main street and beautiful Schoen Place by the Eric Canal provided the perfect location for Brittany’s senior portraits. There were colorful buildings and potted flowers on store fronts as well as the peaceful path along the canal with bridges in the background.

When a senior’s FAVORITE flower is sunflowers….you FIND a sunflower field for her senior portrait session!! I found this beautiful field FULL of sunflowers for Abby’s senior portraits! It was SO worth the drive!

This session was especially special for me. You see, Rebecca is my sister, my little sister. And taking her SENOIR portraits was 1) such a blast and an honor and 2) made me feel SO OLD! I can still remember very clearly the day Becca came home to us from South Korea. She was adorable, had crazy baby hair and her personality lit up the room. And now she’s going into her senior year of high school, is still adorable, has crazy amazing hair and her personality still lights up a room!

Working with Sarah was an absolute dream. The entire time I kept telling her, “gosh, you are such a NATURAL at this!” And she was! She was such a joy to photograph and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her during her session. She and her mom drove an HOUR to her senior session in Steubenville, Ohio which amazed me!

She did it! Julia is a graduate of Franciscan University and now a nurse!

College is an incredible time for growth: academically, spiritually, emotionally and relationally. Some of my greatest friendships came from my time at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio. You grow together, through the good and the bad, the tough and the exciting, the stressful and the joyful. This past weekend I had the absolutely pleasure to photograph these 4 beautiful friends. Their session was nothing short of perfect!
