Taking a moment to highlight my favorite picture from Shanaya's senior session! She is ADORABLE! The fall tones were breathtaking for her senior session, and let me tell you, these colors are fueling my excitement for the outdoor colors to come again! Bring on all the pinks, purples, yellows, and greens that the spring season brings💐

Sarah totally brought her A-game with those model skills! She's not just a pretty face, but she’s and absolute sweetheart! Our day was SO perfect for her senior session❤️

If there was one word to describe Ava, it would be adorable! We froze our buns off, but fall was in full swing and the scenery was so stunning that it made being in the cold so worth it! It was torture trying to pick which pics to post because she had too many amazing shots to choose from. ❤️

Don't be fooled by Noah's GQ swagger😛 We were shivering like crazy and Noah just kept on going, calm, cool, and collected. November's fall weather can be a real hit or miss, but Noah crushed it!

Take me back to Sean's senior session! He is such a respectful young man. We had the most beautiful autumn day when the fall foliage was just starting to peak through. I do love the Midwest seasons and the beauty that comes with each one, but come on, spring! I’m ready to be out shooting with my seniors again!!!

This senior sesh was 🔥. Thanks to all my families who've already secured their summer and fall sessions already, and to those squeezing in spring sessions before graduation - I'm so excited to be shooting outside again! Only 57 days until spring; who else is counting?

A preview of some pre-ceremony shots of Alexandria and her girls - Alex was a breathtaking bride and the flower girl? Utterly adorable 😍

Sneak peek of Alexandria and Denton! Who said you can’t get beautiful pictures in the winter?!!  I can’t wait to show more❤️

I'm totally hijacking my senior posting to obsess over this face - isn't he the most ridiculously cute little thing?!! 😍

My spring calendar is filling up for all you seniors who procrastinated in the fall, but don't worry, I still have openings! I tend to get a flood of seniors in April and May before graduation. It's not too late! Also, it's not too early to book your junior now for this summer - my summer is filling up as well, so let's get you in the books! But for now, check out Mikey! He showed up like a boss and made my job ridiculously easy.

Today is a good day to share Sophia’s senior session! It may be snowing but I’m definitely looking forward to days like this again. I’m going to soak the beauty that winter brings but remind us that spring is coming and the sun will shine again soon💛

I'm like a kid hyped up on sugar when I meet my client, and she's basically the human version of sunshine💛 I've grown to love branding and business headshots sessions. I enjoy what I do so much, and it brings me great joy to bring that out of my clients in their business journey as well. Congrats, Jessica, on joining The Brooke Metz Team! You're gonna crush it and make that team even more amazing! And thanks, Brooke, for trusting me to capture Jessica's sparkle!

By minimizing posing and capturing authentic moments, I'm loving lifestyle sessions. Beware, though, I will rearrange your house for the perfect lighting 😂, but in all seriousness, I have developed a love for this style of photography. I lean toward light and airy, but this moody lighting was truly breathtaking to me. Thank you, Michaela, for allowing me into your home to capture your beautiful baby girl 🤎.

I haven’t posted an all-black-and-white session in a long time! There is something classy and timeless about black-and-white pictures. It’s been said that when you photograph in color, you capture their clothes, but when you photograph in black and white, you capture their souls. This session gave me all those vibes, and I decided to share only black-and-white pictures. If you know me, you know I love color; however, I really appreciate this black-and-white session. Check out the gorgeous Wallack extended family session.

Happy Monday! While we are tracking the latest weather updates on this polar vortex we may be experiencing soon, I’m going to cozy up and share some recent fall sessions that I haven’t had the chance to do yet 😊 while I still have fall minis, family sessions, & seniors to share, I will start with some of my favorites of Alex and Jessica‘s engagement session. This couple’s love was so precious to capture💛 and we nailed the perfect fall day too. Check them out!!
