Time went by too quickly this week.

{portraits} leah

You know when you meet someone and you imagine how perfect they could be in front of your camera? I knew as soon as I met Leah rocking her red lipstick that I just had to photograph her. And for the first time in my life, I actually said that. Out loud. Trying really hard...

{class of 2011} lauren

I find it hilariously appropriate that my last {class of 2011} senior post includes a little school bus trespassing!

My session with Dominique was definitely a highlight of the senior season for me…and how could it not be when it involves a beautiful girl and a tutu?!?! I have the best job on the planet.
