My 2017 fall season has been AMAZING so far! I am so thankful to have been so busy while my hubby is away (for those who don’t know: Andrew is away at Basic Training for the Army National Guard through January), and it’s been an absolute joy to photograph some sweet friends over these past few weeks! Miss Natalie here has been my next-door neighbor for a long time – I met her when she was probably about 8 or 9, and now she’s approaching her high school graduation!! I can’t believe it! Time flies and it’s making me feel OLD! Haha!

Natalie is a very active student: she runs cross country, plays lacrosse, and is a member of her school chorus. She loves dogs (most animals really!) and has the most compassionate and tender heart!! I loved exploring downtown with her, her mom Jess, and her dog Slurpee! We found some gorgeous spots, great light, and I think the images speak for themselves: we had so much fun!! Natalie is so sweet, kind and cute as a doggone button and she FLOORED me while we were taking these portraits – seriously Nat, you’re gorgeous! Also, I have to point out that she did an amazing job on her outfits! She brought several tops and accessories and changed at lightning speed so she had so much variety! Tip to future seniors: if you don’t want to change your whole outfit a bunch of times, bring several different tops, accessories, and shoes!!

Natalie and Jess, thank you for including me in this exciting time of life for your family! I hope you lovelovelove these pictures! I’m so excited to share a handful of them here! Enjoy!
