sweet 16

My little sister, Hannah, will be turning 16 in October so my mom wanted to do a mini-session to get some updated photos of her. Since we will be doing her senior portrait session next summer, we decided to just do a few headshot type photos this time. I love how they turned out!

I couldn't decide if I liked these next two better in black & white or color, so you get both!

Emily & Hayden - Georgetown Kentucky Chattanooga Tennessee Senior photographer

Back in June (yes, I'm behind on my blogging again!) I made a little trip to Chattanooga, TN to spend some time with my family. While I was there my gorgeous cousin, Emily, was kind enough to model for me. I desperately needed to update the senior section of my portfolio, and she did a great job! She even brought along her friend, Hayden. It was a very hot day, but they were troopers and were the perfect models! Here are a few of my favorite shots from our afternoon at Coolidge Park.

I processed this one differently than I normally do, and there is just something about it that I love!

After my last post, I forgot to make a new post with the photos of my sister! Last time we did a session with her was about a year ago and its crazy how much she has changed. I won't post the photos from the first session since my photography skills were scary :) But here she is now!

October 16th was my last day at my 'day job.' Since I had lots of extra free time, I went to Michigan to spend the week with my parents and sister. I ended up getting sick the day I got there and actually had to stay 2 extra days until I was well enough to drive the 6 hours home. I'm still not feeling 100%, but thankfully I'm much better. Even though I lost my voice and could barely get out a whisper, we  still managed to squeeze in a few mini-shoots  :) My mom makes a wonderful assistant and I sure do wish she could come with me to all of my shoots!  

First up was the family dog, Zeke. He is the most perfect dog in the whole world, and also happens to be super cute! (Be prepared for image overload! I had a hard time narrowing down 

my favorites.)

This one is my absolute favorite!

Later that day, it was bath time. As you can tell, Zeke was not too happy about it. 

My parents have been hosting a foreign exchange student from Korea since she was a senior in high school. Christine is now a sophomore in college, and was kind enough to let me use her as a model for my portfolio. A few of the shots we got are some of my favorites I've ever captured! We had gorgeous fall leaves as a backdrop and perfect light. 

Wow. Wow. Wow! I loved her sassy attitude in this one!
The next day, we headed out on my parents' property to get a few images of Christine in her traditional Korean outfit. We all braved the slippery hill around the lake to get to the dock. Christine even got a shoe full of muddy water! But it was certainly worth it to get these beautiful images. I loved the contrast of the pink against the fall leaves.

We ran out of time to get a full session with my sister, but we were able to get a few pictures in between outfit and location changes during Christine's session. Those will be coming in a separate post because I think I have filled this one to capacity :) Do I win an award for longest blog post ever??

My friend Ann and her family are hosting a foreign exchange student from Hong Kong named Irene. She is a senior this year at SCHS and this morning we met at Cardome Center for her senior portraits. Thankfully, it wasn't as chilly as we were all expecting and it was a gorgeous day! Here are a few of my favorites.

  

LOVE this one!

Best Friend Fun

My best friend, Ashley came from Florida to visit for the second half of my vacation. While she was here we did a few headshots for when she goes on auditions. Headshots turned into a silly mini session. Here are a few of our favorites...

3 Mini Shoots

Since this past weekend was a long weekend, I decided to go to Tennessee to visit my family. While I was there we did a few mini-shoots at Coolidge Park in Chattanooga. I had so much fun and we got some really great shots. Here are a few of my favorites.
