2019 SENIORCAMERON Back in 2001 a little white haired boy entered our lives and made us parents. Little did we know how much he would accomplish and how proud he would make us. Cameron, you have always had a big personality and amaze us with your smarts, wit and...
2019 SENIORHAILEY Hailey, If your parents could sum up your first 18 years it would be that you have surpassed every dream and wish we have ever had. We saw it, when as a toddler you ran down the hallway and hit a door. You didn’t cry, you didn’t whimper. Instead you...
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 SENIORKATIE Katie, When we knew you were soon to be ours, we, like many parents, thought hard about your name. Then, when I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were a Katherine and that we would call you Katie. The definition of "Katie" is so fitting and one that...
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 SENIORASHLEIGH I'm SO loving these sweet words from my parents this year. They always make me tear up. Ashleigh is up next on the blog and as her mom states so eloquently, she is a beautiful, self-assured young woman. Ashleigh, you were a JOY to work with, best...
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...
2019 SENIORMAKAYLA Ahh, August. My favorite month of the year. It might have something to do with my horoscope, but I’ve always loved the way this month feels, so full of new beginnings. I often get a new planner this time of year based on the ‘Academic Year.’ Its...
2018 SENIOR MCKINLEY McKinley. Number 00 on the softball field. Graduating from Pius X with the class of 2018, McKinley was a super down to earth, flexible girl to capture. After all, those wildflowers were not the easiest things to tackle. Although always gorgeous...
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!
