I recently had the joy of photographing sweet little Dannie for her newborn session. She is absolutely precious and so tiny!

Jayce's senior session was such a fun one! We started in the NOTO Arts District, where the colorful murals and artistic vibe gave us a great backdrop. The sun was low in the sky, casting a warm golden light that made everything glow. Jayce was easygoing and had a great smile, which made my job super easy. He brought a relaxed energy to the shoot, and we had a good time exploring the area and finding cool spots to shoot. After that, we made our way out to Shawnee State Fishing Lake just in time for sunset. The sky was glowing over the water, and it looked absolutely amazing. We captured Jayce with his fishing gear and his Dodge Ram—two of his favorite things—which made the photos even more personal and meaningful. It was the perfect way to wrap up his session. I'm so glad I got to help him mark this exciting time in his life! T.H. P: What classes are you glad to be done with? Jayce: Math. T.H. P: Something you liked about your session with us?
