Why I Stopped Taking Senior Photos

Taking senior photos is where my love for photography first began.

I picked up a DSLR for the first time when I was still in high school. When I was 17 I took my first senior photos, and I was hooked. Since then, my work has gotten much more advanced.

I thought about sharing some of my very first photos, but after looking at them I couldn’t do it. Instead, I decided to share a few images from some of my recent senior sessions.

Senior sessions were my introduction to photography. Because of that, they will always hold a special place in my heart. But just like all these sweet gals have moved on with their lives, I too have gone on to new ventures.

GOING FULL TIME

This past October, I went full time with my photography business.  As much as I absolutely love doing portrait sessions, my passion doesn’t lie in them. That being said, I have decided to begin focusing my photography business, blog, and instagram on what I absolutely love, couples.

Since shooting my first wedding in 2016, I have been intrigued by the idea of couples photography. Seeing two people in love inspires me to love better, harder, and more passionately.

I have enjoyed every one of my senior sessions, but it’s time for a little change. I am so excited to start this new journey of mine. I love shooting weddings, being a part of surprise proposals, and capturing love. My full time business is allowing me to photograph amazing things that I can’t wait to share with y’all. I can’t wait to see what my future holds. I’m forever thankful for clients that trust me with their wedding days and beyond.
