2019 SENIORISAIAH “It takes a village to raise a child”-author unknown Isaiah, this is an old quote that gets used a lot when a child is brought into this world, but it really is true! The Village is intricate and made up of important members. Each person plays such...
2019 SENIORJARED Dear Jared, It is hard to put into words how we feel about you graduating. You are the one that first made us parents. It has been such an amazing journey watching you grow as a person and as a son. We are so proud of all you have accomplished and...
2019 SENIORRILEYSmiley Riley- You changed our lives the day you were born... we never knew we could love another human that much and that the type of love we felt was so different, so surreal. You brought so much joy to everyone around you, your smile was contagious,...
2019 SENIORCADEN Caden, Only FOUR months left until you leave home, so I'm thinking it's a good time to jot down some (hopefully) inspirational and retrospective thoughts on your high school exit. First off, congrats on being such a smarty pants. You are my academic...
2019 SENIORMATT + ISAIAH IN COLORADO Our summer vacation to Colorado feels like “a million and a half hours ago,” (name that movie... one of my all time favs). But it’s never too late to get a blog post up, am I right? This trip was a bonus week in the mountains...
2018 SENIOR JOEL Mr. Brown Eyes, Gearhead, “Brother Joel” as he is loving called by his sister, Annie. This guy is a hoot. The Heinzmann's are one of my favorite families. Three kids graduating in three consecutive years, I can’t even imagine the busy that existed in...
2018 SENIOR COOPER Cooper might have more style in his pinky finger than every B-list wannabe Tom Cruise actor type. The aviator, straight up ‘Maverick” shades weren’t a planned part of Cooper’s wardrobe. However... as soon as I saw them on the dashboard of his one...
2018 SENIOR CORY Let’s face it. These last weeks prior to graduation are an absolute mess of events crammed into a very short time. Concerts, Banquets, Recitals, Sporting Events, Lasts of All the Things, not to mention... School, Finals, Receptions. It’s a never...
2018 SENIOR TYLER Tyler’s session was the kind of night I so wish I could simply cue up on demand. It was stellar weather, by late September standards, and left us with the kind of sky that looked like an overly filtered Instagram post. Except* in live and in living...
2018 SENIORCORBINTriple the photos, Triple the fun! Harrington 3/3. If you’ve followed any of the recent coverage of the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge’s newest arrival, you’ve probably heard the new-again father’s answer to this question “How does it feel to be a...
2018 SENIORMITCHSenior Week might be over but I still have quite a few amazing Seniors to highlight before graduation! Mitch is up next. This Pius X grad is #12 under the lights and this number became a bit of a theme during our session, popping up in fairly strange...
2018 SENIORNATESenior Week continues with Nate! He is one of those ‘completely comfortable in front of the lens’ types and made the job of capturing his seniors just an absolute ton of fun. Really, it is just difficult to not have a good time when you’re around Nate....
Looking for someone specific?
After 10+ years of capturing portraits, I can count on one hand the number of times someone has said ‘I LOVE to be photographed!’ ONE. HAND. Letting someone photograph you can be a pretty vulnerable thing. And making my subjects feel comfortable is always my number one priority. We ALL have something we don’t love about ourselves, and we ALL are our OWN worst critic. It’s my job to guide you through these concerns to create a portrait that leaves you feeling sincere, inspired and confident!
