Lyric is one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. I was delighted she chose me to capture her senior year and to be on my Style Team! This girl is a hard worker with big dreams. I loved incorporating her love for fall colors during her senior portrait session and then her musical […]

A year ago, did you imagine that we would be in quarantine for 30 days??!  This is obviously something that none of us have ever imagined could happen. But it did. We could not plan for it. I don’t know about you, but as I watched the world start dealing with this virus, I just […]
