High School Senior Photography

It’s Senior Season!

Seniors are pouring in, and sessions are extra-fun when these fantastic students have an activity or interest they choose to incorporate into their photos. This cool gal is a softball superstar, and it was fun to add a bit of her passion into her class of ’18 photo session.

2016 graduate beauty

Such a beauty! Her blonde lovliness in the summer evening sunlight … perfection. And her cute personality, genuine smile, sweet laughter made this session POP. I so enjoy working with the wonderful people I meet. Happy Graduation!

Sweet Siblings

These sweet siblings scheduled a fun day at the beach, and I was so happy to be able to capture some of their togetherness. They tossed rocks in the water, swung upside down from tree branches, and had a great time in the sand. Grandma scheduled this session, and included two cousins (to be posted soon!). Such a great family!

One of the Sweetest Families in Town

They really are one of the sweetest families in town! So glad to have met them through school and sporting activities this year. Great family and fabulous dog. I love for my clients to bring the family pup along for their session! These sweet kids will never be this age again – so glad we captured this moment in time.

This young man used to be a little tiny boy I held in my arms. His mama is my lifelong friend, and I’ve had the pleasure of watching him grow up. I’m so very proud of who he is today, and had a lot of fun spending time with him the other day. We began at GHHS, moved to the family farm, and finished at the beach with dear Maya (the family dog). Great locations + a fabulous guy + some expert reflector-holding by Mama = a fun senior session! Have a great senior year, Reese! You are loved.

This is the perfect time to book your senior session, Class of 2014! Summer sun, and you’ll be so glad you’re not rushing to get photos schedule in the spring. www.SunrisePhotoGH.com

To have all seven of the cousins [on Papa & Grammy’s side] all to myself at the beach for a few hours made me a happy picture-taking-auntie! Special thanks to sis Amy for allowing me to dress her kids as I pleased, and to sis Elizabeth for doing some last minute shopping [OK, a lot of last minute shopping] to accommodate my wishes. I love the color scheme results, and the sweet faces on these cousins. [Shhhh . . . don’t tell Grammy. We printed a canvas for her upcoming August birthday gift!]

Sports {especially baseball} I love.

Team photos are oh-so-fun for me! I love when a coach calls and says, “Hey, I like what I’ve seen you do. I don’t want the same old photo of kids in two boring rows; our team wants something edgy and new. I think you’re the person for the job.” YES! That’s exactly what the coach of the 2013 GHLL American League All Stars said, and it was such a fun session. Coach even called in some favors and surprised the boys with an extra-special photo location: Cheney Stadium! Thanks, Coach Reed. It was way cool!

The Ultimate Dress-Up Fun!

I was thrilled when her mommy emailed me with a photo inspiration she saw on Pinterest: little girl dressing up in her mama’s wedding gown. So sweet! We quickly scheduled a session and just had a blast posing this little beauty in Mom’s pretty bridal dress. This was also special because it was a celebration of Mom & Dad’s wedding anniversary. These were fun, joyful, and precious photos to capture. For many reasons, this family continues to bless me!
