Caitlin's Prom Pictures | Senior Photography, Suwanee GA

May 4, 2013 was the B-I-G day - Prom Day for my sweet friend Caitlin! She asked me to take pictures of her and a few of her friends before they went off to party the night away. 

We had planned to take the pictures outdoors, with a beautiful spring backdrop. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us.....at......all. It poured the entire day! 

I felt so bad for all these beautiful ladies (and man), who had such stunning dresses and their hair and make-up done; they were just unbelievably gorgeous!

We managed to take some shots on a small covered balcony (while the rain was still coming down) and then took the rest indoors at a friend's home. 

I'm so glad I got a few nice pictures of Caitlin with her Daddy and her siblings!

I hope you all had a fantastic night and congratulations on your graduation this week - the world is your oyster! May the future be bright and filled with all things good! 

Your Day Has Arrived

Graduation day is finally here,
And so now ends your high school career.
Always remember the friends you hold dear,
And look toward your future without any fear.

This is the day you've been preparing for
Since the day you walked through that first classroom door.
Now it is time to say good-bye,
And spread your wings - you're ready to fly.

So shed a tear and share a smile,
And be sure to remember all the while,
That although it may now be time to move on,
Today's memories will last your whole life long.

All the best to the class of 2013!

Caitlin's Story | Superior Senior Rep - Suwanee, GA

A few weeks ago I had a message from a young lady, who is a Senior in high school and will be graduating in 2013. Caitlin wanted to find out my prices for a Senior Portrait Session and she had been referred to me by a client. (I love it when this happens - this is exactly the way I want to run and grow my business - and I love my clients for referring friends and family.)

After some correspondence I found out that Caitlin's Dad had recently suffered a bad stroke and since he was a single parent the family (she has 3 siblings) relied on him for everything. Caitlin told me that she was looking for a "non-budget-breaking way" of taking some nice and personalized Senior Pictures. I can't blame her.

The next day I was in the yard doing some work, when it suddenly hit me. To help Caitlin and her Dad I would offer her to be my Senior Rep. This was divine intervention. After offering her the opportunity, things went super fast. We met for coffee 2 Saturdays ago and we had our session together this past Saturday.

Let me tell you, this sweet girl has got it together! She has a top academic record and is all set for college - she knows what she's going to study and she plans to take it all the way to a Ph.D. She is beautiful inside and out and was willing to move the world to get some great shots - and did we get some great shots! Oh.....my......word!

The day after our session I went to work on editing some of the pictures and at times I thought I'd died and gone to photographer's heaven - these images have soul, they have pep and they are classy. I believe our story is reflected perfectly!

I feel very emotional about Caitlin and her situation. I look at her and in a way I see myself at 17 when my mother suddenly passed away and I had to grow up from one day to the next - although I think she's far more focused than I was.

I'm hoping that many of her fiends and family will book a session with me, so I can help her get her image CD and prints and perhaps even other products for free through my Rep Program. This is me giving back to my community in a very personal and relevant way. 

I look forward to getting the calls and emails! Let's show this girl how much we care - Caitlin deserves it all and more.

And now, here are some images from our session. I'm sure you'll agree that they are spectacular.
