✨ Important Announcement ✨
I am so sad to share that I will not be offering Santa pictures on November 1st this year. This has been one of my very favorite traditions, and I truly cherish the memories made each year. ❤️
With the storm damage and remodel happening at our home, I can’t guarantee that my backup space will be ready in time. Since my home is always my “just in case” location for bad weather, I don’t want to risk not having a place to set up. On top of that, with it being Kallie’s senior year, I want to make sure I’m present and not stressed during such a special season.
Please know this was not an easy decision—it has taken me weeks of thought and prayer. But I believe it’s the best choice for my family, myself, and my clients this year.
The good news is… 🎅✨ I’ve already booked November 7, 2026 so the tradition will continue next year!
I cannot thank you enough for all the love, support, and trust you’ve shown me over the years. And of course, a huge thank you to Santa—he is a dear friend, a hard worker, and truly makes the magic happen. ❤️ We’ll be back next year, better than ever!
Much love,
Cenda

This sweet family… I look forward to seeing them every single year! 💛 Can you believe this was just a mini session?! We packed in so much love, giggles, kisses, and hugs. They are just the most precious souls.
I loved all of their outfits, but when Mom stepped out of the car in that gold sequin skirt… I gasped! ✨ She absolutely rocked it. Truly the best, most beautiful, kind-hearted family. My heart is so full! 🥰

From wedding bells to baby giggles — what a joy it’s been to watch this precious family grow. I absolutely adore this gorgeous family of three. Their sweet boy is the cutest, and his mama is just as beautiful inside as she is out. Thank you, Starluck Studio, for letting us use your beautiful space to capture these sweet memories. 🫶✨

“Canyon 2024–2025 Golf Team 🏌️‍♂️⛳️ Such a great group of boys! I had the best time working with them — talented, respectful, and full of personality. A fun little fact: Coach Guy taught me how to swim when I was a little girl. He ran the city pool in Memphis, TX, and I spent my summers there growing up. So special to see him now leading this great team! 💙💛

A natural beauty at Palo Duro Canyon 🌾 We had to pause for a little rain shower, but it gave us the most perfect golden light for Gracie’s senior session — such a dreamy evening!
Her sweet mama was one of my very first friends when I moved to Amarillo and we worked together at Amarillo National Bank. I still remember when Gracie was born, and now here she is — a West Plains graduate! 🎓
Gracie is just as beautiful inside as she is out, just like her mama. So proud to capture this special milestone for them both. 💖✨

✨ This beautiful family is now a family of four! ✨ I’ve been so excited to share their maternity session — Taysha looked absolutely stunning and glowing, and sweet Brecklyn was precious in her little dress and is already the best big sister. It was so windy that evening, but we still managed to capture the most gorgeous photos with a dreamy sunset. 🌅💛

✨ Sharing My 2025 Open Dates! ✨
It’s time to book those fall sessions — they always go fast! 🍂
I’ll be sharing all the details for my family mini sessions on Monday. If you’d like early access to the times before I release them to the public, comment Family Minis below and I’ll send the info to those who comment first!
This year is extra special for us — it’s Kallie’s senior year — so I won’t be adding many more dates. This is pretty much my full availability for 2025. I might open a couple more spots in November once I have all the sports schedules, but my goal is to be fully present for Kallie and all her big moments this year. 💛
I’m still deciding whether I’ll offer Santa Minis this year. With the recent storm and being unable to work for a month, I’m behind on editing — and Santa Minis are a lot of work (and always unpredictable with West Texas weather… it could be 100 degrees or we could get 4 feet of snow! ❄️🎅🏼). I plan to think and pray about it over the next two weeks before deciding.
👉🏼 If you’re definitely interested in Santa Minis, please comment Santa Minis below — this will really help me know if I should offer them!
Also, if the family mini weekend I have planned doesn’t work for you, please comment a weekend that would work better — I may offer a second weekend of family/senior minis instead of Santa Minis this year.
I’m also adding a mini session package option to my offerings — these mini days will be more affordable with more flexible options for you!
And because I just have to share — I’m posting a picture of my gorgeous niece today too! She graduated a year early, has already started her own nail business, and will be starting college classes online soon. We are so proud of her and she is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside! 💅🏼🎓✨
Thank you all so much for your patience, support, and for letting me capture your memories year after year. 🫶
Drop your comments below: Family Minis, Santa Minis, or your ideal weekend!
Can’t wait to see you all this fall! 🍁📸✨

✨ Sneak peek! ✨
I’ve been waiting so patiently (thanks to a wild storm and a new computer journey) to share this stunning maternity session — and it’s finally time! This beautiful mama was absolutely radiant at golden hour in Palo Duro Canyon. 🌅
I’m so grateful for her patience and understanding while I got everything back up and running. I can’t wait to share the rest — finishing it up today and starting another beautiful session tomorrow! Stay tuned, it’s worth the wait. 💛✨
