Your favorite everyday outfit deserves a spot in your senior photos.

Payton’s denim overalls, soft waves, and little yellow flowers made the sweetest combination! Add that rocky backdrop and pockets of sunshine, and I’m obsessed. 🌼

When you’re planning your senior outfits, bring something you feel GOOD in. A casual look adds variety to your gallery and gives us room to play with texture, movement, and all those little details that make it yours.

For my Parkersburg and Mid-Ohio Valley seniors, outfit planning is part of the experience. We’ll talk through your options and pull together looks that feel like you—from your favorite denim to something a little dressier. 🤍

Save this reel for your senior outfit inspiration!

October is one of my favorite times for family photos — warm color, soft light and a backdrop that already feels like fall. 🍂

The goal isn’t a gallery full of everyone staring at the camera. I want the way your family feels together, too.

Can we talk about GOLDEN HOUR for a second?! 😍✨

That warm, glowy light you see in so many of my senior photos does not happen by accident. I plan your session timing around the light so we can save some of those dreamy looks for exactly the right part of the evening!

And fall golden hour around Parkersburg? SO GOOD. 🍂

This is why planning ahead matters. Your outfits, locations and timing all work together to create a gallery with tons of variety while still keeping that timeless, classic look I love.

Class of 2027, comment or DM me FALL27 and I’ll send you the details to grab a fall date! 🤍

Newborn sessions are slow on purpose. There is time for feeding, settling, snuggling and whatever baby needs. The goal is beautiful photographs without rushing the people in them.

You don’t need a big theme to make baby photos feel special.

Some of my FAVORITE studio sessions are actually the simplest ones. A sweet outfit, a clean backdrop, beautiful light and one very adorable baby with a whole lot of personality. 🤍

At this age, there is already SO much to capture. The gummy smiles. The belly laughs. The little toes. The curious expressions. The way they light up when Mom or Dad walks behind me and starts making ridiculous noises 😂

My Parkersburg studio gives us a comfortable, easy space where we can keep the focus completely on your baby. No worrying about weather, wind or finding the perfect location. We can simply let them play and capture all those little expressions that make this stage so much fun.

Babies change incredibly fast during that first year, and you really don’t have to wait for a birthday milestone to photograph them.

Save this as your reminder to document the stage they’re in RIGHT NOW. 🤍

Teen portraits are a chance to celebrate who they are right now — their style, confidence and personality before this season flies by. Tayler made this set so much fun.

That stage between newborn and first birthday deserves photos, too!! 🥹🤍

The curious looks, little smiles and all that growing personality... there is SO much to remember before the next big milestone arrives.

Baby sessions in my Parkersburg studio can be simple and relaxed. We’ll keep the focus on your little one, with time for cuddles and a reset whenever they need it.

You don’t need an elaborate theme or a birthday coming up. This stage is reason enough!

What’s the newest little thing your baby has started doing?

Tiny details, sleepy expressions and the sweetest little features. Newborn sessions are designed to preserve all of it before it changes.

My studio near Parkersburg gives us a comfortable space to slow down and let baby set the pace.

My favorite senior photos have two things in common: they look like YOU, and you’ll still love them years from now!! 🤍

We can create the polished portrait Mom wants to frame AND the relaxed images that show your personality. There is room for both!

Your favorite clothes, interests and meaningful locations help us build a session around your actual life. I’ll bring the posing guidance and watch the light so you can enjoy it.

Bo’s portraits are a reminder that senior sessions don’t have to follow one formula. ✨

What’s one thing you would want your senior photos to include?

This age is pure personality. Sitting, exploring, big expressions — milestone sessions are such a fun way to remember the months between newborn and first birthday.
