✨ Meet Holland

Holland is a senior at Madison County High School and stays busy playing soccer, basketball, and volleyball.

She’s known for her sense of humor and the way she brings energy and personality wherever she goes. She makes me laugh every time I’m around her, and being with her friends is her favorite place to be.

Her friends describe her as loud, interesting, and full of life, and she’s most excited to just enjoy this experience with her friends and make the most of senior year 💛

She’s going to be so fun to have on Team 27 ✨

Isabella | CCHS Class of 2026 🎓

I had such a wonderful time meeting Isabella (and her sweet girl, Rosie!) last night at Graves Mountain Lodge. We stayed around the lodge and captured some really genuine moments, including a few in her cap and gown to celebrate how close she is to the finish line.

This season goes by so fast, and it’s such an honor to help families hold onto these memories. She is so close to graduation, and I know her family has so much to be proud of 🤍

✨ Meet Sadie

Sadie is a senior at Madison County High School and stays busy with basketball, soccer, and Beta Club.

She’s known for being outgoing and is always the one bringing energy to her teams and making everyone feel included. She truly loves being around her people, and it shows.

Her friends describe her as funny, empathetic, and energetic, and she’s most excited for taking photos with her friends and all the fun moments (and cute outfits) that come with senior year 💛

This is exactly what Team 27 is all about ✨

✨ Meet Ally

Ally is a senior at Madison County High School… and yes, she’s my daughter 💛

If you’ve ever been at a game, there’s a good chance we’ve both been there 😂 between sports, pageants, and time with her friends, she’s always in the middle of it all and brings such a fun energy wherever she goes. She’s also my best assistant and has been by my side through so many sessions over the years.

Her friends would describe her as kind and funny, and she’s most excited for the group shoots and everything this year will bring.

Getting to photograph her senior year means more to me than I can really put into words. I’m her biggest fan, always have been, and I’ll definitely have tissues on hand… but I wouldn’t want it any other way 🥹

I can’t wait for you all to watch her senior year unfold 💛

If you know Anna, you know her hair is kind of her thing… and she definitely stands out in the best way ✨

She’s been in front of my camera for years, so getting to capture her senior year is really special 🥹

Her friends describe her as ambitious, funny, and energetic, and she’s most excited to meet new girls on the team and be part of all the fun moments we’ll capture this year.

Team 27 is officially here ✨

I am so excited to introduce these six amazing girls who are part of this year’s senior team. This group is full of personality, confidence, and so much fun, and I already know it’s going to be such a good year with them.

If you’re new here, Team 27 is my senior spokesperson team made up of Class of 2027 seniors. They get to be part of exclusive shoots, fun group sessions, and be the faces you’ll see throughout the year while helping represent M. Cave Photography 💛

Over the next few days, I’ll be introducing each of them… so get ready to meet the team 👀

Show them some love as we get started 🎉

Some of you might not realize how easy it is to book a session with me 🤍

Here’s how it works:
• Send an inquiry (DM or through my website)
• I’ll send over all the details, available dates, and answer any questions
• To secure your spot, a signed contract + payment is required

And that’s it… you’re officially booked ✨

From there, I guide you through everything. You’ll get a questionnaire so I can get to know you, help with outfit ideas, location planning, and all the little details so your session feels easy and actually fun.

What you get:
• A personalized session built around you
• Help every step of the way (you don’t have to figure it out alone)
• A gallery of edited images you’ll love + can download and share

If you’ve been thinking about booking, this is your sign 🫶
I promise it’s way simpler than you think.
