This post is a little bittersweet…it’s my LAST individual session recap with my 2021 senior spokesmodels! Kate definitely allowed me to end this year on a high note (even though it’s not *totally* done because we still have a team hangout + graduation shoot coming up!). She is so incredibly sweet, which isn’t surprising because […]

It’s almost wedding day for Lauren and Chandler!!! From the very beginning of my business I had a goal of “playing the long game” with my clients. I celebrate big, once-in-a-lifetime moments so I don’t get to see my past clients very often…unless they are my seniors who turn into brides! I met Lauren a […]
