I had a great experience with Kimberly. She was very willing to work with my crazy schedule so we could do a time best for me. I was able to fully express myself in the images and voice my opinion about what I wanted to look like in my photos. The session was a great experience and I would recommend to anyone for photography.
The third senior in our Super Secret Senior Session is Sarah Joy of Marshall. She played our athlete. As I worked with her on some poses, she laughed, "I am no athlete!" Guys... She's a dancer! Of course she's an athlete!
I absolutely enjoyed working with Sarah. She's kind and very respectful. I later found out that she is a girl after my own heart. She. loves. coffee. :D
Sarah Joy is the captain of the Mavettes, and she has a passion for dancing. I've seen some of her jumps for Mavettes on Instagram. She's awesome!
Sarah Joy has been a die hard longhorn since birth, and she plans to attend the University of Texas at Austin the the fall of 2016.
She will pursue a degree in business while minoring in dance. She hopes to one day open up her own dance studio.
Sarah Joy works extremely hard in school so that she can achieve her goals. She is currently ranked salutatorian of her class.
She attends Immanuel Baptist Church in Marshall and loves Jesus more than anything. She is in awe of His grace and mercy everyday. I love her boldness in proclaiming her love for Jesus.
"So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 10:33

When Kaylee Whyte contacted me to join forces for a photoshoot, I got excited. I had seen her work on Instagram (follow her @kayleewhyte) and loved what she could do.
We decided to run a contest and pick 4 girls for a best friends senior session. We partnered with Krush Boutique in Longview and completely stylized the girls' looks. This was such a fun shoot and love how it all turned out.
Without further ado, here is our first senior, our grunge girl, Mercedes from Longview High School.
As a photographer- a relative newbie at that- I want to keep growing in my art. So I set out to use a prop or get a shot that really pushed me. So, I settled on smoke grenades. When these arrived in the mail, I was more excited than I probably should have been. I was so giddy!
The following shot is one of those with the smoke.
Mercedes is an artist. For two years in a row, she qualified for regionals at the annual V.A.S.E. competition in ceramics.
I absolutely enjoyed Mercedes. She's absolutely adorable and so sweet.
Mercedes is very active with Artsview Children's Theatre. She loves to act. I could tell! We picked her character for the session, and guys- she pulled it off so well! After spending a some time at Kilgore, she hopes to work at Disney Land as a Face Character. She volunteers as an intern at the Longview Public Library and describes herself as a fangirl over things like bands, British TV shows, movies, youtubers, and various works of literature.
Congrats, Mercedes. I can't wait to see what you accomplish in the years to come!
