Tori Senior

She is the baby of the family, the last one to graduate. Her kind eyes make you feel welcome and reveal her kind spirit. She is stunning! And OH! Those curls!! If you know her sisters, those curls are famous! I am a tinge jealous, until they tell me how much time it takes to get them looking good. Bless! Tori and I connected through our awkwardness and humor. I could not stop laughing and I had such a great time! Continue reading

Michaela Senior

Beautiful on the inside and the outside, she is so much fun to be around!! I love how she is super smiley and full of sunshine…I have the BEST seniors! Like any Senior she is proud and excited!!! I have enjoyed getting to know Michaela!

We got started at the Kitty Hawk Pier on the Outer Banks, right before sunset. The Kitty Hawk pier is an old wooden pier and the green pilings are such a pretty color! The day started out rainy but around sunset the sun did make an appearance! Rain or shine…shooting by the ocean beats any day in the office!!

Thankfully I have “tasted” the waters of Engagements, Weddings, Newborns-One Year, Couples, Families, Maternity, Seniors, etc. This has allowed me to make my decision with certainty. While at first I can’t say I will turn away any other session but I will be marketing myself towards a very specific area. Continue reading
