Courtney was such an amazing senior...we had so much fun on her senior session! I have known her since she was little! I was so honored to shoot her senior photos over on a family farm in Chatham. Her Mom tagged along and enjoyed herself as much as we did!
Here are a few favorites from her session:
Thanks so much for having me as your senior photographer, Courtney!

So my best friend just got married...I am so happy for them! But I'm also thrilled to FINALLY be able to share her gorgeous bridal photo session. We went to her venue, the Avoca Museum, for her session. It was such a great day for photos...and it was nice to visit the place where my husband and I got married. Avoca truly is one of the best venues this area has to offer.
So, without further ado, I present the bride, Casie!
Casie's mother went to see Jesus when she was a senior in high school, so in order to honor her mother, she wrapped her bouquet in a letter from her Mom:)
Casie's Dad chose the image below for his enlarged portrait:)
I have such a beautiful best friend! Casie chose the image above for her enlarged portrait. SO gorgeous!
MBP doesn't shoot many weddings, so I don't get to work with brides often. But I love to, so don't hesitate to contact me for a session!

Kaleen's senior session was TONS of fun! She is so sweet...just like her Mom! They both were such a pleasure to work with! Kaleen had several different outfits that we incorporated into her downtown session back in September. Her smile is SO infectious...take a look at a few of my favorites and you'll see what I mean!

Teresa is someone that most of you all are familiar with. If you don't know her personally, you have heard about her through the media and about her multiple fights with cancer (ewing sarcoma). Teresa's battle began when she was 19. A rare form of cancer has plagued her body on and off ever since. She is 23 now and I'm happy to have gotten to know her and her family over the past few years. Teresa was my assistant before this last round of treatment began. She is too weak most days to even consider helping on sessions, not to mention a little more vulnerable to germs I'm sure. I have certainly missed having her with me! She enjoys my photo sessions just as much as I do!
I asked Teresa if I could shoot some photos of her back in the summer before she began another round of treatment. Her hair was growing back and I wanted to show her strength through photos...she is by far the strongest person that I know. She is always thinking positive and never seems to let anything get her down! I was hesitant about asking her to do these, but to my surprise she was totally on board!
I wanted to show her beautiful smile and gorgeous personality in these photos...
To me, Teresa is strong. She's a FIGHTER. She's a SURVIVOR.
Teresa never quits. She PERSEVERES. She FIGHTS BACK.
But I can't help but wonder sometimes if she has her demons...those deep down inside that tell her she just won't win this time. Those that tell her this is a long shot. Mercy, I would hope not, but aren't we all human? Don't we all have our doubts? If I were Teresa, would I be able to be as strong as she is? FIGHT as well as she does? SURVIVE like she does? If I were Teresa, how I would view myself and my battle? With uncertainty? With doubts?
I pray that Teresa doesn't have those feelings. I pray that Teresa places her full trust in the Lord and that she truly believes that HE is doing what is best for her. Teresa has had more than her fair share of challenges, but through it all, look at all the lives she has touched. Look at them all! She has shown so many people what strength is and what determination is.
This weekend, there was a local blood drive in honor of Teresa, as well as Claire, a young baby girl fighting leukemia. There was a great turnout and the local media can tell you all about that HERE.
Teresa is still fighting her battles and covets your prayers. She has an amazing family that supports her 125% but I'm sure still loves to know that others are thinking of her.
I have this photo (below) on my desk of Teresa and I. We have shared some fun times together. We both look forward to doing it all again soon!
Teresa, I thank you so much for letting me photograph you. You are an inspiration to me and a true FIGHTER. The Lord will bless you!

Katie made sure to book her session early (last spring)! We planned out her September senior session and incorporated her personality and interests. I was excited to hear that Katie plays guitar, so of course I had to have some fun with that. She was also one of the few seniors who has brought their class ring to their session! So we had some fun with that too:) Here are few of her senior photos:
The photo below was Katie's favorite!
Thanks so much, Katie, for having me photograph your senior portraits! I'm so glad that you and your family love them:)

Meet Mia. She is one of my 2014 Senior Models and attends GW High School. She is so freakin gorgeous...like, for real, it shouldn't be legal to look that amazing. We met up at the salon to start the session with hair and makeup with Katie. Then we headed downtown for the shoot. Here are a few of my favorites:)
WARNING: Lots of gorgeousness ahead. It may be too much for some viewers;)
Mia had 2 different looks for her hair...thanks to the amazing Heidi and Katie! Here was her first look...
The photo below became Mia's absolute fave during her ordering session:) I love it right much too!
Of course, I love this too...
We switched up the look for Mia's hair and had it all down for the 2nd half of her session:) Mia also had her boyfriend step in on a few:) I love this candid shot of them! She did too!
Ya know...she really should take up modeling....
Ohhhhh....its just too much Mia! You're amazing!
