Smithson Valley High School Senior Photos

Kaydence and I had the absolute best time shooting her grad photos! She opted for a cap and gown mini studio session for her senior photos.

Kaydence had a very clear vision for her photos. She requested confetti, balloons and silhouette photos were a must.

Here’s a little behind the scenes peek from her session. I transformed my living room into a studio and shot her session tethered to my laptop. Being tethered allowed Kaydence to easily view the photos I captured in real-time on my laptop. This made it super easy for her to chose the photos she wanted from the session.

These silhouette photos were high on Kaydence’s must have shots.

Kaydence is an absolute doll with the most beautiful and infectious smile! I truly enjoyed working with her and wish her the very best in all her future endeavors!

Prom Night

Prom season is officially here!!!

I just loved seeing everyone dressed to the nines, feeling great and ready to celebrate.

Whether it’s your first prom as a junior or your last one as a senior, getting great photos to document the night is a must. Don’t let the night slip away without taking tons of photos to look back on.

Mini sessions are a great option for prom night photos. If your prom is coming up and would like information on setting up a session for you, your date and/or friend group, message me on IG. I’ll get back to you right away!

The weather is warming up and San Antonio has so many wonderful locations that are perfect for photography!

If you’re interested in having an outdoor photoshoot, I highly recommend scheduling your session before April. In my experience, it starts getting really hot once April hits in South Texas.

I’m always ready to shoot so if you don’t mind the Texas heat, I’m happy to schedule your session during the summer months.

Message me with any questions you might have!

Things are heating up outside so now is a great time to move your photo sessions indoors.

Studio portrait session

Besides staying cool, there are many advantages to taking your photos in a studio. For instance, you don’t have to wait until early evening for good lighting conditions thanks to professional studio lighting. I use the Godox lighting system and have complete control over the look of the photos based on their placement.

Another advantage is that you can customize your session by creating a set that is uniquely you. There are endless backdrop possibilities to choose from such as colored seamless papers or fabrics. For this session, Kate choose a Superior Seamless paper in her favorite color.

Sunflower photoshoot

Backdrops can be embellished with balloons, banners, flowers or anything else you can dream up. For Kate’s session, she decided to keep the background simple and incorporated items from my prop inventory for a touch of whimsy.

Another advantage of working in a studio is privacy. In the studio, we don’t have to worry about the public wandering into the background. We can also take our time to get the perfect shot.

Where ever you decide to take your photos, the most important thing is communication. Talk to your photographer ahead of your session. Share all of your ideas and any photos you’ve seen with an aesthetic you like. The more you communicate and ask questions, the happier you’ll be with your photos in the end. Your photographer is there to serve you.

Class of 2023 Senior

Believe or not, now is a great time to start looking for a senior photographer. A good way to start is by asking your friends and family for recommendations. Then look at their social media accounts to see if their style fits yours. Once you find some that interest you, reach out to them to see if they’d be a good fit.

Share your ideas with them and ask tons of questions. It’s really important to feel comfortable with your photographer. The more comfortable you are, the more you’ll enjoy the whole experience.

I would love the opportunity to discuss how we can work together to celebrate this milestone moment. Message me on Instagram or fill out the contact form on my website and I’ll get back to you right away!
