Cassey | Bunker Hill Elite Fleet Senior

Ya'll are going to fall in love with Cassey!  There's your warning.  She was selected as one of my Elite Fleet Seniors from Bunker Hill High School by the school's guidance counselor, Ms. Lorraine Swagger. Here is some of what Ms. Swagger had to say while nominating Cassey,

"...her dazzling personality and character are exhibited daily.  She is a joy be around and amazes me with her intellect as well.  Cassey is able to balance a rigorous academic schedule, excel in extracurricular activities, and manage a part-time job as well. How she manages all of her activities with a pleasant attitude and sense of excitement is to be acknowledged  Cassey is truly a student that rises to any expectation..."

Cassey's favorite image is of her can her dog, Cocco.

At BHHS, Cassey is involved in the Yearbook, International Club, Student Council, BLT with teachers and admins, Science Olympiad, and other activities.  She loves watching Netflix in her spare time and is recently obsessed with The Office!  She says, and I quote "IT IS SO GOOD."

Cassey also told me that she is very proud to attend her church's early morning seminary and says it is like a scripture lesson each morning before school, and it totally starts her day right.

Her plans after graduation include going to college and is looking at several options, but she does know she wants to try double majoring in Biology and International Studies

And if that is not enough for you to love this girl, then this will do it...before she graduates college, she wants to go on a LDS mission for 18 months and spread the gospel full-time.

And here is one of my favorite images...

I asked Cassey what her favorite part of working with me was and her are her words, "My favorite part of working with you was your spirit.  You're so kind and enthusiastic that it just shines through your work!  I loved your passion and how excited you were for little things like the sunlight and leaf color.  haha."

Cassey has her own blog, so go check it out HERE.

Katie | MHS Elite Fleet Senior

Let me introduce Katie M, one of my Elite Fleet Seniors from Maiden High School.  Katie was nominated by her teacher Mrs. Nancy Suddreth.  Here are some of Mrs. Suddreth's words from her nomination letter "I knew immediately who I would like to nominate.  Although I have taught many extraordinary students over my twenty years of teaching, I would have to say Katie exemplifies the very best qualities to be found!  She is a very beautiful young lady- inside and out.  Katie carries herself as a young lady should:  with integrity.  It is unusual to see such composure in one so young."  She also stated that Katie is honest, compassionate, dignified, and is always willing to help other students in social or academic situations.  Katie is very involved in DECA and is a Beta Club member.  Here is Katie's favorite image (and I believe it is mine as well- look at those eyes!)

I loved the fashion look we got from the images in Downtown Hickory!

 

Katie is a proud Blue Devil Volleyball player (all 4 years) as a setter.

When I asked her what she enjoyed most about her Senior Session she replied "Going to Murray's Mill at sunset and I had fun with all of the different poses."

Katie is planning to attend UNC Charlotte and study Marketing and Graphic Design.  I want to wish her the very best, it is a such an honor for Katie to be one of my Elite Fleet Seniors.  To know more about the Elite Fleet Program read HERE.  If you loved the images from Katie's Senior Session and would like to book with me mention this blog and receive $25 credit toward your session, and Katie will also receive $25 credit.

You can also view Katie's Senior Film HERE.

Thank you Katie!  You are absolutely beautiful!

Johnson Kids | Hickory NC Family Photographer

I've been photographing these two since they were newborns and I love seeing them in front of my camera a few times a year.  They have the cutest personalities.  Their momma is my cousin and I used to babysit her and her twin sister when they were so small you could fit both on your lap.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this handsome little man.  So I asked momma to bring a white shirt and some jeans.  He and I headed out while momma dressed sister.  It took us less than 10 minutes to nail these.  He did awesome!

Sister's turn!  Loved her sweet dress and my crepe myrtles were in full bloom!  YES!

I'm not sure what she was thinking (maybe I really don't want to know) but she put her hand up and gave me the funniest look....

Bellamy Family | Hickory NC Family Photographer

"Where does the family start?  It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl- no superior alternative has yet been found."  Winston Churchill

I was thrilled to photograph one of my favorite families, the Bellamy family.  I went to school with Michelle many I mean a few years ago.  About eight years ago our youngest sons were in the same class and became best friends.  They've been inseparable ever since.  So this is essentially my son's second family and we love them dearly.

Beautiful you two!

Quite possibly the cutest doggies ever- Max and Maverick.

Love this one of the boys in their Papaw's vintage Ford.

And I had to include one of Drew (I call him my "adopted son").

And this one...oh my...the sunset, the silhouette, the connection.

How long has it been since your last professional portraits of your family?  If you love these, contact me about designing your custom portrait session.  Mention this blog and receive $25 off any regular priced session & the Bellamy's will receive a credit for $25 as well.
