So I am a little behind on posting a few senior sessions to my FB page...the end of the school year gets a little crazy each year! (Of course the actual gallery was delivered to my clients months ago), but I didn't want to let these amazing moments go by without posting a few because I definitely had some GREAT senior sessions with some great kids and their wonderful families!! Plus they are all such successful kids with some great goals that I want to be able to share their successful moments with everyone!!
With that being said, here is Daniel (Cowboy) Laird, a 2023 graduate of Winder Barrow High School!! We had a great session and I think I captured his personality really well...His huge love for track, his Bronco and his years at WBHS!! So excited for you Daniel and your future at Georgia College this fall with your studies and signing to be a part of their track team!! Andrea Laird

The Howell Family- What a fun, family session with this crazy group!! I laughed the whole time during our session!! Like seriously, non stop!!
Heather and I have been long time friends and go all the way back to our elementary school days and being at Hebron Church together, so it was a lot of fun to catch up with her and to see how happy she is!! ♥ Heather, you have a beautiful, fun family!! Thank you for allowing me to capture some keepsake pictures for you!!

2023 Commerce High School Wrestlers Senior Night.
My nephew, brother and sister-in-law. ♥ So proud of you Caleb!! Can't believe you are a senior!!

Caleb- Senior Wrestler at Commerce High School- Senior Night 2023. I got to go see and capture some pictures of my nephews senior night at his high school and capture some great action shots of his wrestling match. The minute he came out, I knew he was going to win!! His confidence was overflowing!! You could just see it!! Very exciting night watching him!!

02/14/2023

Happy Valentines Day to these two!! ♥ (Of course we had to do a photo shoot!!) Young Love...so sweet and innocent. I love seeing these two hang out and enjoy each other!!

Something I haven't done a lot of with my photography business is sports photography, other than my own kids games that I go to ands shoot. But it is something that I really like. You are always in awe of what you capture and wonder when you go if you will get that perfect shot or not. So the other night my daughter wanted me to take my "good" camera (that's what she calls it) to her boyfriend, Clint's, basketball game ( #23) to capture some action shots of him. I instantly said yes and came home with some great action shots!! Man can he fly and jump!! WOW!!

Kyle- North Oconee Senior, Class of 2023

Awesome senior session with Kyle! He was not too excited to have pictures made that day, (no guys are ever excited to have their pictures made! lol) but he knew his mom wanted these to document these last few months of his senior year before they pass by, so he did it for her and they turned out amazing!!

Kyle will be attending Stetson University in the fall to continue his education and has also signed to play baseball on the Stetson University Baseball team!! Congratulations Kyle!! Can't wait to see the things your mom posts and to see the awesome things you accomplish!! Erin Thomas Jones

Happy 15th birthday to my baby girl!! She asked for pictures and of course she didn't need to ask me twice!!!
Love all of these!!!

I just love extended family pictures! I love them because it's usually a middle aged son or daughter who wants the pictures, the son or daughter has a spouse and kids and each of them have a set of parents and so on down the line. It's just a beautiful way to show off all the generations together and how families come together to make one!! ❤️

Awesome senior session with Kyle!! This guy I've known for a long time...since his early elementary days!! I just can't believe he is graduating. Just seems like yesterday that our boys were playing on the playground at Bramlett together Marisa Brown Warr!! Now look at them!

Class of 2022👨‍🎓⚽️🎉

Garrison Maternity Shoot- This shoot was extra special to me...this is my niece and her husband. We just had a super small maternity session when we gathered together at Thanksgiving. Her blood pressure had been running very high and she was supposed to be resting and taking it very easy. So we just did a few pictures to capture her pregnancy!! December 3rd, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Oakley Mae. (Of course there will be pictures to follow!!💗)

Who says you have to have a big location with lots of props to have a beautiful photo session? Not me!! Nope...all you need is your front porch or your own yard!! These turned out so good for the Buxton Family!!

Davis- Senior 2022, WBHS
Let me just tell you, this is one great, well raised, well mannered young man. (Great job mom and dad!!) I have known Davis since he was in 1st grade. He is such a great guy! Always says, "yes mam", which makes me feel old, but that's ok. He is just always being respectful!! After high school he will be going to serve our country that we love and our state that we love. He will be going into the National Guard. He has been a part of the JROTC program at WBHS the last 4 years and loves it. We captured some great pictures representing JROTC and him in his uniform!! Can't wait to see what your future holds Davis!! With your attitude and drive, there is no limit!! Congratulations!! Enjoy the last few months of your senior year!! ❤
