🏈 Senior Moment 🏈

FIFTEEN SENIORS. ❤️🏈 That’s something pretty special.

This year, we get to celebrate one of the largest senior football classes we’ve had in a long time.. 15 young men who have grown up together, battled together, and now get the chance to take the field for one final season side by side.

For years, they’ve put in the work…..the early mornings, long practices, summer workouts, Friday night lights, big wins, tough losses, and everything in between. Now they’re the leaders. They’re the group the younger boys look up to, and they have the opportunity to leave their mark on this program.

There’s something bittersweet about a senior season. These Friday nights that once seemed endless suddenly become numbered. So, boys, soak it all in. Look around at your teammates. Listen to the crowd. Enjoy the bus rides, the locker room, the lights, and even those practices you swear you won’t miss. Someday, you will.

15 seniors. One team. One final season. One last ride. 🏈

Make it one you’ll never forget. ❤️🏈

🏐 Senior Moment 🏐

Today, we celebrate two incredible seniors who have given so much to our volleyball program. ❤️ As they take the court for their senior season, we hope they soak in every serve, every kill, every cheer, and every moment with their teammates. The season may go by quickly, but the memories and friendships they’ve built will last far beyond the final whistle. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see where life takes you next!

There’s something extra special about coming full circle. 🤍

Years ago, I photographed this sweet family in this very same spot for maternity pictures while they were waiting for their oldest little girl. Now, somehow, she’s getting ready to head off to kindergarten and has a little sister by her side! 🥹

We’re officially heading into the busy photography season, and evenings like this remind me why I love it so much. The smoke in the air wasn’t ideal, but it sure gave us an absolutely gorgeous, dreamy sunset. 🌅

Same beautiful spot, a growing family, and a whole new season of life to capture. 📸🤍

You’ll never regret taking the photos. ❤️

The days may feel long sometimes, but the years fly by faster than you ever imagined. One day those tiny fingers won’t fit in your hand, those little newborn stretches will be a distant memory, and that sweet sleepy face will have grown into someone running through life at full speed.

I’m so thankful this sweet family chose to capture the newborn stage. These moments are so fleeting, and having photographs to look back on is truly priceless. They become more valuable with every passing year.

Don’t wait for the “perfect” time. The messy moments, the tiny details, the sleepy snuggles, and the overwhelming love are exactly what you’ll want to remember.

Because you’ll never regret taking the photos… but you may regret not having them.

First session back behind the camera after surgery, and it felt so good to be doing what I love again! I had the pleasure of capturing engagement photos for this absolutely adorable couple, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to ease back into things. Thank you both for trusting me to document this special season of your lives! I can’t wait to celebrate with you on your wedding day!! ❤️💍

Meet Trace Warren Snyder! I'm so glad we were able to capture these moments before I was sidelined with back surgeries! This little nugget has already grown so much since these were taken. He is such a perfect bundle of cuteness!
