These two have been together for many years, and are engaged to be married this Fall! We had a good time shooting our field session, even though the sun was beating down on us and we left completely sweaty! Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Seniors » McKenzie, Class of 2023
SeniorsCongrats to McKenzie, who’s graduating this month from South Charleston High School! We spent the first half of our session downtown on Capitol and Brawley, then moved up to the fields for a more rural vibe. As you can probably see from the photos, the rain threatened us the entire time we were shooting, but it managed to hold off until the moment we finished up!
Couples » Lacey & Jakob
Couples & EngagementsThese two have been together for several years, and they were so sweet during their couples session the other day! We were under a high wind advisory that evening, so we had a few good laughs as we battled the elements to keep their hair and clothes in place. Despite that, it was a really fun and successful shoot. You really can’t beat a good field for romantic couples photos.
Couples » Shayla & Tim’s Engagement
Couples & EngagementsValley Park in Hurricane was a perfect place to take these Spring engagement photos. Tim and Shayla are such a lovely couple and were so easy to work with, and I love the sweet images we were able to capture together. I know they’re going to have a happy future together!
Family & Maternity » The Tuptas
Families & Kids, MaternityAlly is due with baby #2 in just a few short weeks! She and her sweet family were lovely to work with, and I’m still amused by their little one’s extremely serious expressions. We were lucky to catch some of the last bits of Fall color before that night’s rain knocked down most of the leaves, and I love the extra bit of sunset glow we captured in so many of our shots.
Families » The Johnsons
Families & KidsIt was wonderful to see the Johnsons again for their annual Fall photos! This year’s set included the kids’ grandmother, as well, which I love to see. It’s always special to capture several generations of a family!
Babies » Toby’s 6-Month Milk Bath
Families & KidsToby’s mom wanted a bright and citrusy milk bath for his 6 month photos. This age is so fun and adorable since a lot of babies are beginning to sit up more, which means new poses! His big sis even got in on the fun when he was finished. 😊
For more fruit bath photos, check out my strawberry tub session from a few years back. I’m always game for more of these shoots — they’re just too sweet!
Families » The Johnsons
Families & KidsI really missed these guys last year when I was on Covid hiatus. I’ve been doing annual sessions with them since 2015, back when Silas and Avery were tiny, so it’s crazy to see how tall they’re getting these days! Ridenour Lake was a perfect Fall location, too — so many leaves on the trails!
Seniors » Sydney, Class of 2022
SeniorsHere are some previews of my forest senior session with Sydney, a senior at Herbert Hoover High School. She even brought along her puppers for some photos!
Families » Claire
Families & KidsIt had been three years since the last time I did photos for Claire and her family, and her girls looked so grown up compared to the last session! We were dying in the 90 degree weather, but we at least missed the rainstorm that came through right as we wrapped things up!
