Well, it's the story of her life. STOML is a term that she and her friends use, I suppose like BFF or TTFN or LYLAS...well, that's what was cool when I was a senior anyway. :) 

She's a super fun girl. We tried to incorporate everything that is making her senior year special, so you'll see some style, her photographing her friends, reading her bible, her bedroom, her doggie, there were more, but I couldn't get them all in here! 

I loved that she incorporated a few shots with her friends. So special. I just photographed her friend that you see in the group picture here, I'll post images from her session on Monday. 

Meet the Roses. An incredibly fun, beautiful, full of life, funny, intelligent, sweet enough to give you a cavity- family. They are just some of my favorite people on the planet. 

I've had the joy of photographing this little girl since she was in her mommy's womb. 

Here's a series of our journey together...

What a beautiful adventure their first year was! So grateful for this family and looking forward to watching them grow for a long, long time. 

See this kid? Top series? Love him. 

He's always been animated...here's one of our previous sessions together if you're into that sort of thing --->>> click here.  Such a stinker. His baby brother is going to be holding his own before long. I can't wait to see how that shakes out. 

I so enjoy watching the nuances in family relationships and how siblings learn to adjust to one another. I strongly believe some of that comes through the images we create. 

In all the years I've been working with this family, this was the first time we attempted an Urban Session. They totally rocked it. I love the playful nature in their familiy...and in their images!
