The second Sabrina’s email hit my inbox back in July asking about senior pictures, I knew that we would become immediate friends. 

There is something so beautiful about instantly connecting with someone- finding a kindred spirit, if we want to bring Anne of Green Gables into it- and I was so lucky to have found one with this gorgeous young woman. 

We spent the summer chatting and connecting and getting ready for her session. We first officially met at Thomas Hammer for her consultation since it was her favorite coffee place downtown, and I knew the second I walked in that we had to come back the following month to get some pictures there (Definitely my favorites from the entire day!!). Working with Sabrina wasn’t even working, it was just an evening full of laughter, music, deep talks, advice on teeth whitening (Like seriously LOOK AT THOSE PEARLY WHITES), dancing, playing with her puppy, and all around having a freaking blast as we chased the sun. 

My goal is to always get to know my clients in a way that allows me to capture who they really are, and I can say with 100% confidence that Sabrina’s spirit and personality absolutely shines through all of these. God sure blessed me with this one, and I’m so happy that her senior pictures not only allowed me to spend time with her during our session, but has given me a lifelong friend that I will continue to explore with and get closer to. 

I love you so much Sabrina! I’m so happy you found me and that God brought you into my life. Thank you for being the amazing person that you are.
