/ Khloe/
Taking advantage of the fantastic reprieve from the summer heat, we had a perfect day this week to capture this beautiful girl's milestone - turning 13. Khloe knew what she wanted, picked the perfect outfits, and was ready to shine... and just look at that gorgeous smile! She totally nailed her session and I'm so very happy we were able to make her vision come to life.
Big thanks to mom Katy for allowing ARA to capture these special memories for you both! Welcome to your teenage era, Khloe! 💛

Cockram Family
What an absolute pleasure to visit again with Cheryl, Dustin, and family. And the reason for the visit? Capturing their last days as a family of 4 in preparation of becoming a family of 5. I just love being able to continue to document this beautiful family. Congratulations on the upcoming Cockram addition!! Thank you so much for letting ARA capture your family's journey!

I was so excited to kick off Senior '25 season with Courtney last week. She nailed her outfit choices and was just an absolute stunner! A big thank you to Mollie for letting me capture this special time for them. Have an amazing Senior year, Courtney.
Enjoy these first looks!

The final Senior of the season is Ethan. Ethan's session was as laid back and easy going as he is. It was so fun to capture many of his interests in some of his favorite locations.
Congratulations on your upcoming graduation, Ethan! Best of luck in the future!

As spring is knocking on our door, I wanted to share the last of my fall sessions that were gifted during the holidays. I've known the Vandegrift family for so long and I loved getting to capture some fun shots with them and their four legged family members too. A gloriously sunny day with a beautiful backdrop, I just love how their home was the perfect location. Thank you Crystal Vandegrift for letting me capture these for you and your family!

I just love a good surprise and when the Wilhoit kids came to me in the fall with a wonderful gift idea for their parents, I was in! Having known both of them since they were kids, and also worked with them before, I knew this would be a fun session. And it was a blast!
I'm so glad to have been a part of their special gift to their parents. Thank you so much for allowing A Royal Affair Photography to be an ongoing part of your memories.

Here's another fabulous fall session I'm excited to share... Dana & Walt and family! Dana has been reaching out for family sessions for quite a few years now and it's been such a pleasure watching her family grow and change. Their sessions are always a fun time and I just love our time together year after year.
Thanks so much, Dana and Walt, for entrusting me to be a small part of your family's story.

During these cold and wintery days, I'm excited to finally get to share some of my fabulous fall sessions. First up... the Moore family!
I loved capturing this beautiful family on a sunny September day. We had a great time together with lots of laughs. This session was a redeemed gift certificate session, and the images were then gifted to others during the holidays. Families grow and change, and photography sessions make amazing gifts! I'm so glad they reached out and allowed me to preserve these moments for them.
Thank you, Moore family!

Thank you, 2023 ARA families!
I feel so honored every year as I look back on all the families, couples, seniors, and special occasions that I've had the privilege to capture. This was a wonderful year of stretching and growth for A Royal Affair, and I'm so very very grateful these faces were a part of that. Thank you to you all for allowing me to preserve a special moment in 2023 for you!!
Here's to an even more amazing 2024!
Keep smiling!
Jennifer

A beautiful December day meant we were able to capture this precious family just in time for the holiday season. That little one was absolutely adorable but she was ready to move and keeping me on my toes for sure. Such a sweet time!
Thank you Hodges family for a great session to wrap up 2023!

12/21/2023

What a fun, active, yet quick session to snap these adorable grandkids. You don't always have to have a grand reason to preserve a moment in time.. just do it! Every season of life, especially the fleeting ones of someone little, is worth it.
Thank you Rindy for letting me capture these for you!

/ Ethan '24 /
Keeping it close to home was just the thing for this senior, and he rocked his late fall session. I loved being able to highlight the many sides of Ethan too, from football to soccer to band. Thank you so much for allowing A Royal Affair to capture this special time. Have an amazing 2nd semester of your senior year, Ethan!

11/20/2023

It's been a wonderfully busy fall for A Royal Affair Photography and I'm so very thankful for all of the couples, families, and seniors that have made these last few months so amazing. We're not done yet though, so stay tuned for a fun December event , coming soon! hint.. hint.. It's a really "sweet" one!

/ Catey '24 /
A beautiful fall day and this beautiful Senior made for an amazing session. Two sessions actually, because when Daylight Savings ends and you start losing daylight you just spread out the love over 2 days. And Catey rocked them both. I loved all her different looks!
Thank you so much to Catey, and her mom Alison, for choosing A Royal Affair. This was sister # 3 to be in front of my lens, and the last of the Paulette girls to graduate. Best wishes for an amazing rest of your year, Catey!

/ Peyton '24 /
The unexpected end of October heat wave didn't stop Peyton from absolutely nailing her senior session recently. I just love how we sought out fall color and Mother Nature delivered. Peyton's quiet nature made for an easy laid back session too, but you should've seen mom and dad work for those smiles. What a great memory for them all!
Enjoy your senior year, Peyton, I hope it's full of amazing memories! Congratulations!

/ Jakob '24 /
What a celebration this session was as Jakob has already finished his senior year course load! Way to go, Jakob! I'm so glad I was able to capture these memories for you. Wishing you all the best in the future.
