When I went to the Katelyn James’ workshop in October, one of the girls in attendance said that I reminded her of a Hallmark movie. She said she just pictured me as the entrepreneurial girl who was going to be swept off her feet by someone who appreciate that about me, surrounded by snow, of course.

I thought this was a funny observation but honestly I felt about as close to a Hallmark movie as I think I will ever be in this holiday themed photoshoot with my #dakotaherseyseniors spokesmodels!

My dream for this business is to build a community that goes far beyond just one photo session or one year in high school. I want to create friendships that last for years.

When I brought the idea of hosting a holiday themed photoshoot for my 2019 spokesmodels and mentioned inviting the 2018 class, they were so excited!! 

We all met up at The Firehouse, Goldsboro’s newest event venue that honestly amazes you at every turn. This city needed a place like this and I cannot wait to be back –– for photoshoots, parties, AND weddings!

I loved spending time with all of my spokesmodels from the past two years, laughing and trying on different outfits (all with the styling help and entertainment by @loudhotblonde).

Here are my favorites from the Christmas set of our photoshoot! Merry Christmas from the Dakota Hersey girls!!!

Okay, of course I had to get in on the Christmas fun!!

Both of my senior spokesmodels teams…I am in love with them!!

Thank you to my best friend Rachel (@loudhotblonde) for helping out with all of the entertainment and style tips! If you’re not following her, you’re missing out –– check out her blog here!

And a HUGE THANK YOU to my mom and brother, Weston, for always supporting me and helping make my vision happen!
