Here it is... part 2 of Katlyn's senior session!

These are some favorites!

"Watch carefully,

The magic that occurs

When you give a person

Just enough comfort

To be themselves."

- Atticus

Katlyn, congratulations on your graduation! We wish you all the best as you start college this fall!

Longview, Texas | Katlyn: SENIOR '16 (Part 1) | 6.25.16

Prepared with a slew of carefully curated images, Katlyn (along with her dad, Jim) sat down with us at Panera one afternoon to show us exactly what she was looking for in a senior session. We held our breath for half a second, and then smiled as we realized that what Katlyn seemed to love most.... was light.

We like good light, too. ;)

Little sister, Karissa, was on the sidelines with their parents for emotional support during the shoot. She helped bring out some of Katlyn's best smiles with some well-timed silly faces. ;)

We had so many favorites from Katlyn's senior session ... we decided to make this "Part 1." So stay tuned for "Part 2!"

Pursuing Eden | Styled: Lemonade Stand | 6.17.16

When we were kids, Dad built us a lemonade stand. (Even at 9 and 5, we were entrepreneurs at heart.) Basically, our road-side stand was a one stop shop. You could buy fresh lemonade, ice cold water, custom bookmarks, handcrafted friendship bracelets... you know - the works.

The one flaw in our business plan? Location. You see, our early childhood home sat at the top of a very steep hill. It also happened to be on a street that dead-ended into a cul-de-sac, meaning we didn't exactly get a lot of traffic. But, had we been allowed to set up shop at our friend Justin's house down at the neighborhood entrance... we'd probably have millions of dollars in the bank today!!! ;)

Speaking of lemonade ... we so enjoyed photographing this gorgeous setup out at Pursuing Eden! Styled by Kristal Childs, this lemonade station is perfect for a spring wedding reception, or a summertime party!
