I have been soooo excited to share this with you all!!!

First, let me back up a bit and explain why I haven’t shared until now though.

If you haven’t heard of Holly McCaig and Two Pear Designs, you really must visit these sites right away.  Holly is responsible for some of the best Graphic Design Templates for Photographers, as well as some other products for scrapbookers!  That’s how I first heard of her, when searching for templates, but then I started following her on Instagram too and immediately fell in love with the posts of her dogs!!!  I could just squeeze them, they are so cute!!  :)

Back in April, Holly asked me to contribute to Two Pears Designs’ Inspire Magazine.  I honestly wasn’t sure what to say.  I was shocked and so incredibly nervous.  Could I do it?  Was I good enough?  Would she actually like anything I submitted or would she say, “Thanks, but no Thanks!”  I was also super busy at this time with it being the end of the school year and was knee deep in planning the “Once Upon a Summer” shoot.  I didn’t know how I could possibly fit this into my schedule, but deep down, I knew that I had to try.  How could I pass on such an opportunity?!

Somehow, with all of the craziness, I made it happen!  Don’t ask me how, because that entire weekend of shooting “Little Red Riding Hood” and then this shoot, pretty much made the weekend a blur!   And to top it all off, I barely made it in time for the deadline!!   Whew!!!

The actual shoot was back in May.  While I wanted to shout from the rooftops about the issue and post pictures from the day, I had to keep it “hush, hush” until the issue came out.  If you know me, you know that was the longest 4 months, ever!  ;)  Seeing the issue though in September, it was well worth the wait!!

sooo….here it is!!!

Because I took a lot of images that day, I will be sharing more soon.  It was such a beautiful session and a beautiful day!

I could not have done it without Laura, Ashley and of course, the lovely Devan!

Thank you so much for this opportunity Holly!  I am so incredibly grateful and I appreciate you asking me to be a part of this issue with so many other extraordinary photographers!

If you haven’t seen the issue and would like to purchase it, you can buy the print version HERE or the digital version HERE.  It’s a beautiful issue with lots and lots of eye candy!

Come back soon to see more images from this shoot (and some fun Behind the Scenes)!!  I am so excited to finally share them!  :)

I have been sooo incredibly excited to share this image, but I was waiting for this post  - because this is my submission for Chic Critique Forum‘s Chic Magazine Cover Contest!

It would be such a tremendous honor to actually see this image of Natalie make the cover.  Not to mention that I would be beyond ecstatic!

Issue 8 will be out in January, so I’ll have my fingers and toes and everything crossed until then!

Tomorrow is the day that I finally get to show Peachtree Ridge’s Paige Guerreso (and her mom Julie) all of her Senior Portraits!!!  I can’t wait!!

For now, here’s a little Behind the Scenes fun and Sneak Peek!

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, do you remember me mentioning the random, out of nowhere pop-up shower?!  Well, here it is!

Thank goodness for my monster reflector and mom Julie to help keep Paige looking fabulous and protecting her from the rain!!!

And then, after the rain, we have this!!

Paige, have I mentioned have much I love your images?!  If I haven’t enough, I’ll tell you again!    ♥♥♥ 

And finally, some urban fun and those shoes!!!  I cannot contain my excitement when I see shoes like this!!!

I have been dying to share this Harrison High School’s Class of 2014 Senior with you all!!

Brooke Armbrester is fabulous in every way!   I don’t say that to be over the top or jokingly either.  Brooke is super crafty and is a crazy mad planner.  She rivals anyone with her Pinterest skills!  ;)

I loved planning this session with Brooke, every last second of it.  Every little detail was so much fun preparing for and I’m so sad that it’s over.  Seriously.

For anyone wanting the “Be Unique” Portrait Session, this is going to be the one to beat.  Any “How I Met Your Mother” fans out there??  “Challenge Accepted!”   And if you don’t understand that reference, well then, I just feel silly.    ;)

If you aren’t familiar with the “Be Unique” Portrait Session that I offer, you get to have a Fabulously Styled Shoot in addition to your Senior Portrait Session!  You all know how much I love, love, love styled shoots!

We’ll get to Brooke’s styled portion in an upcoming blog post.  Because she just has so many images that I love, I couldn’t possibly fit them all into one post!
