Alizay

There's no shoot that I enjoy more than doing senior photoshoots! Whether high school or collegiate, nothing compares to seeing people graduate and talk about all of their ambitions and what they want to do after graduation. Although I enjoy these shoots, every year that passes by, I'm getting older and my clients are getting younger. That only means one thing... I'm turning into an "old head." I'm not ready to be old, y'all!

Alizay and I did this shoot at the University of Texas at Dallas. I love this campus. The buildings are beautiful, and the atmosphere is always pretty chill when I'm there. Alizay was a lot of fun to work with! A lot of great conversation! She told me about the field that she's studying and what she plans to do, and I tell you what, she has an amazingly bright future ahead of herself. Makes me miss those days when I would talk about my goals and ambitions as a young 22-year-old. Ahhh, the good old days.

Anyway, I'm still scheduling shoots! I'm down for events! Big or small!

This Past Weekend

It has certainly been a while since I have posted anything to the blog.  But this past weekend, I had an opportunity to photograph a high school senior and a college senior.  I'm super grateful for the time that we spent together and getting to know them more.  We all toughed it out and tried to withstand the cold weather and crazy wind, especially on Saturday.  Kudos to Gabby for wearing a dress with the weather being the way it was.  "You tha real MVP."

Jayden Nixon - high school senior

Jayden is a high school senior from the Charlottesville area.  I didn't know Jayden and his family but found out that we had many different connections with people we knew.  We really live in a small world, I'll tell ya that much!  It was awesome to meet Jayden and his family!  Good luck with the rest of your school year and let me know where you choose to attend college!

Gabby Smith - college senior

Gabby and I go wayyyyyy back.  Back to the middle school days and spending our summers at the Boys and Girls Club in Charlottesville.  When I moved away, we lost touch and somehow reconnected when we got to college.  The first time that I had seen her (outside of social media) since middle school was at a bowling alley in Harrisonburg when some friends and I got together for my birthday.  Since then, we've been keeping tabs on how we were doing and scheduled to do a shoot together!  It's so awesome to be able to reconnect with amazing, lifelong friends.  Wish I could be at your graduation, Gabby!  I'm proud of everything that you've accomplished!  The future is bright for you.
