Class of 2015 Senior Pictures | Jupiter FL Photographer

Welcome to 2015!  I hope you are all having a stupendous start to your new year.  We've got some big changes coming, including a new website that will be officially launching in the next month.  In the meantime, I'd like to thank you for stopping by to chat!

2014 was a most interesting year.  I had so many incredible opportunities come my way.  I was blessed to work with a delightful group of high school seniors in the class of 2015.  They amaze me every day and I feel so fortunate to have worked with these lovely, dynamic, young ladies.

Not only did we accomplish a phenomenal model shoot out, with images I am still working on (yes, there were so many that I just love that I have slowly been working on a few at a time), but we also had an unbelievably fun fashion show in conjunction with Francesca's Boutique and my seriously amazing hair and makeup team at Besos Salon.

The girls rocked out their looks at both events.  Jessica and Lindsay worked their magic with hair and makeup.  I couldn't have asked for a better, more generous group.  I adore them all!

So now it's on to big plans for 2015.  I have a big model shoot out planned with my incredibly talented photographer friend, Cristina, during March in Miami.  I can't wait!  We've been collaborating on our ideas and I am so psyched!

I'm also expanding my focus a bit so you will see a little more variety in the photography genres that I am offering.  My whole mission is to empower girls and women.  I'm taking it to the next level.

And of course, I can't leave out the excitement of photographing 2016 seniors.  Helping my seniors see how absolutely stunning they are, inside and out, brings so much joy to me.  I can't get enough of it!  Giving them an experience they will treasure all their lives is what motivates me every single day.  I love love love my job!!!!

I have a number of friends in Jupiter, FL whom I will be collaborating with on a few personal photography projects.  Just to keep it fresh and learn and grow.  I'll be doing some senior pictures of a different kind...

On a personal level, our family has many wonderful events to look forward to this year including my oldest son's wedding, my youngest son's college graduation, and my middle son's technical school graduation.  Big life events!  Do you think I need a photographer????  LOL!

This brings me to my word for 2015.  Every year I choose a word as my guide in all that I do for the year.  I try to choose something that will help me stay focused on something I want to work on in my life.  So this year, my word is.... drum roll please...  NOW.  Yup, my goal is to be present and live in the now.  With all that's going on this year, I think this is perfect for me.  Don't you?

So thanks for stopping by today!  I really appreciate that you've taken the time to visit with me.  Let 2015 be all you hope it to be!

Graffiti Inspired Senior Portraits | West Palm Beach FL photographer

It all started with a glimpse at an amazing wall of art.  From this, an idea was born... a huge idea!  After months and months of planning for this graffiti inspired senior portrait photo shoot it finally came together on a hot and muggy summer day.

We started off at the salon where the salon staff worked their magic on hair and makeup for the first elegant look.  Then, Jessica came with us on-location in West Palm Beach to create this second, more edgy look.  I just love how their hair and makeup turned out!

The crew all wore black and white for their basic pieces.  Pops of color were added primarily through accessories and shoes.  Everyone coordinated well by using the black and white to tie it all together.

Senior pictures that are fresh, captivating, and fashion-inspired is my style.  Finding unique and interesting locations help to make each senior's pictures distinctive and special.  A senior portrait experience with me is unparalleled and epic!  

This is one of my favorite images from our group shoot.  Honestly, I love all of the pictures!  It's probably because I adore each and every one of these high school seniors!  They are an amazing group of young people!
