Holly Carpenter

Friday morning I shot what I think has become my favorite session of the season with my friend Holly. I have only known Holly for a year but in the time I have known her she has blessed my life infinitely. She impresses me weekly with her creativity, heart for Christ, and joyful spirit. 

Holly is graduating from Baylor in two weeks with a degree in interior design and going to work at a firm in the DFW area. While there, I know that God will use her to do great things as an ambassador to his kingdom. Congrats, Holly! To quote my father: "Good luck; we're all counting on you!" (No pressure.)

I've taken to calling this one "The perfect picture."

HER EYES!!!

I am obsessed with this location. I think the series of images we got here are by far my favorite from the whole morning!

This was taken in one of Holly's favorite places in Waco; a coffee house called Dichotomy.

Megan Legband

Over the last year I have had the privilege to do several different shoots with Megan. And last week we got up early on a Sunday morning to capture some more memories. Like Emily, Megan is my roommate and my life has been made infinitely better in the last two years by having her in it. 

Megan is a University Scholar focusing in English and story structure at Baylor University. She plans to attend law school and eventually practice human rights law as an advocate for women and children.

These first two images are actually from and earlier shoot with Megan but I think they capture an aspect of Megan's personality that we didn't in our "senior shoot."

I absolutely love these flowers! I think this field has become one of my favorite places in Waco!

Bonnie Cantwell

Last week I had the privilege of shooting Bonnie's senior portraits. Bonnie radiates joy in a way that makes her an absolute breeze to photograph! I had so much fun on a shoot that started on Baylor's campus and ended up at her favorite study spot.

Bonnie, an honors student majoring in philosophy and history, will be graduating from Baylor in May. Thanks for letting me be a part of your journey, Bonnie!

What's a Baylor senior shoot without one of the Baylor swings?

I think this may be my favorite image from the morning. Here Bonnie is standing in front of Tidwell Bible building which now houses the majority of the history department.

Thank you Lula Jane's for the exquisite location and the yummy cinnamon rolls!

The First of Many!!

Last week I had the opportunity to do a shoot with a friend of mine named Sarah. In May Sarah will graduate from Baylor University with a double major in Arabic and Middle East Studies in addition to International Studies. In her time at Baylor, Sarah studied abroad in Israel and played for the softball team. Here are a few of my favorite moments from our afternoon together!

This is one of my favorites from the day.

Sarah and her roommate found this beautiful field of Bluebonnets and Indian Paint Brushes on accident.

Don't worry...we only used flowers that had already been trampled in the never-ending quest for wildflower portraits.
