The Ritual

Ritual: (noun), A ceremony with an established order of repeated words, phrases, or series of actions in front of an audience.

The rituals of our lives provide us time and space to honor the things that matter most to us.  During a wedding, friends and family gather to celebrate the couple.  Perhaps this is the only time both sides of this extended family will be in the same place at the same time.  They gather because it’s an important part of honoring the people and relationships on their journey together.  We participate in the ritual, share a meal together, and dance!  Every part of the ritual is a chance to strengthen relationships and show our love and support.

Cherry + Dillard

The Cherry and Dillard families have grown together over many years.  In high school, the couple dated for two years and eventually broke up.  Fast forward many years, children, and lives lived to finding love again.  The couple’s story reflected in the song by Lanco, “Greatest Love Story” tells it beautifully:

When I was gonna be your forever
You were gonna be my wife
But you went off to find better and I was learning all about life
But I was what you wanted and you were what I needed
And we could meet in between
We were gonna be the greatest love story this town had ever seen

Don’t be afraid to use the rituals of your life to honor and love the stages and places in big moments and small and the places in between.  Love where you are and where you have yet to be.

Senior portraits are just one piece of what I do 👇🏻

I also work with:
✅ professionals who need updated headshots
✅ business owners building their brand
✅ families capturing this season of life
✅ and actors/models creating strong portfolio images

Different sessions—but the same goal:
helping people show up confidently and authentically on camera

📩 If you’re not sure what kind of session you need, let’s figure it out together—link in bio to learn more.
Senior sessions with moms and sons are always… an experience 😂

A little back-and-forth, a few eye rolls, and somehow we still end up with photos everyone loves.

Honestly, those in-between moments are usually the best part.

📩 DM me if you’ve been putting off senior photos—there’s still time.
Senior photos shouldn’t feel random… they should feel like you. 👇🏻

Before every session, we talk through a few key things to make sure your photos actually reflect this moment in your life:

✅ Location — what kind of vibe fits you? (nature, city, something more edgy?)
✅ Wardrobe — casual, polished, cap & gown, college tee… we plan it out
✅ Hobbies & interests — the things you love right now that you’ll want to remember later

Because the goal isn’t just to take photos…
it’s to capture who you are right now before everything changes. 🎓

📩 If you’re planning senior photos, let’s start with a consultation and build something intentional.

Cap and gown season is here 🎓

If you didn’t get senior photos done earlier, this is your moment—professional cap & gown photos and college tee shots are the perfect way to wrap up senior year.

And now that decisions are made, it’s the best time to capture where they’re headed next.

📩 Spots are limited—click the link in my bio or DM me to book a last-minute session.

And for Class of 2027 parents… it’s not too early to start thinking ahead 👀
Some yearbook deadlines come faster than you expect, and these photos make the perfect addition to senior pages.
