Oh friends I am SO excited to share this senior with you! Her and her bff booked one session to split, and we got to run around together on a slightly chilly day a few weeks ago, and I just LOVED it! Their session happened to be right after we announced our spring musical, so we got to chat about that and life and college and school. You see, these are 2 of mine- 2 I have taught over the past 4 years. This is Nerissa, the first I am sharing since she was the first I photographed! I cannot believe that Nerissa is a senior already, and I cannot believe how much she has grown since I met her! And I am literally jealous of all that her new teacher is getting to experience with her- she is really taking the music program by storm this fall and I LOVE it!
Nerissa is fun and a little sassy, and pretty quiet in class but one of those girls who you just know isn’t quiet with her friends, or out in her own world. She speaks her heart, and is willing to try anything. And that red hair…! She was an absolutely beautiful model, and I just loved how comfortable she was in front of my camera- it just felt easy for her. Nerissa, I absolutely ADORE you, can’t wait to spend some time with you this spring, and can’t WAIT to see all that is to come for you over the next few years! I am so proud of you! I hope you love these favorites of mine!
These colors!! I could have photographed her by that tree for hours!Nerissa, you are so BEAUTIFUL!Nerissa and Adina together- you will spot a few of these in here 🙂The necklace in Nerissa’s hands belonged to her grandmother, and means much to her.LOVE THESE GIRLS! Nerissa and her mama- Nerissa, I know you will be so glad we did this one! Thank you SO much for choosing me to do this with you- I absolutely loved every moment!!

You're in the right place! As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business! I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).
I'm so glad you are here! Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business!
