We don`t do that here.

We do this.

She came in with a vision. She wouldn’t settle for anything less.

And she was right.

Olivia, you were an absolute dream to photograph. Most opinionated? Maybe. I just call that a girl who knows who she is and what she wants. These are just a few of my favorites, but honestly it was hard to choose. Can’t wait to share the rest with you!

If you have a Class of 2026 or 2027 senior who knows exactly what she wants, let’s make it happen. Link in bio.

You pulled out your phone to grab a quick photo and suddenly you`re the worst person in the room. You`re not doing anything wrong. You just want to remember this. And yeah, that`s a little inconvenient for her right now.

Swipe through for the one shift that actually helps, no camera settings, no tricks, no bribing.

And if you want more of this, the free 5-day email series is at the link in my bio. Five short emails about how to take better photos of your teen without turning every moment into a whole thing.

I hear it every single time. “I’m not really a photo person.”

And then golden hour hits and she can’t stop laughing and I catch the shot and she is absolutely a photo person. Always was.

That part never changes, no matter how many sessions I do.

If you have a class of 2026 or 2027 senior, let’s start dreaming up her perfect session. Link in bio.

Your teen isn`t being difficult. They`re being a teenager.

There`s a reason they shut down the second you pull out your phone. And once you understand it, getting photos of them actually gets easier.
