Sentimental Senior and Family Photographer based in Glen Allen, VA

After many reschedules, rearranging, and the changes to our original first shoot, I FINALLY got the chance to work with my Class of 2021! This group of ladies and a gentleman is a diverse and wonderful representation of young adults from Central Virginia. I’m also so happy to have many siblings from past VIPteam members. This is year EIGHT of my coveted year-long experience for seniors!

Because of COVID-19, we had to shoot individually instead of my usual group launch shoot. At first, I was super disappointed to have to do things different from the past. But, our “Pets or Props” theme was able to feature each of these soon-to-be senior’s individuality and I LOVED it! It gave them a chance to be creative with their talents/loves which allowed me the same!

Enjoy getting to know these amazing individuals!

Abby aspires to be a Certified Nurse Midwife and cater to young and at-risk mothers. She’s also a Disney fanatic and collects Minnie Mouse headbands!

Ashlynn has a love of volleyball and I loved how she combined her sport with a super-girly outfit!

Caroline honored the memory of her father as well as the love of her Jeep and precious pup, Dusty!

Caroline brought her school spirit and love of dance!

Emery is a soccer star and has been playing most of her life! Loved capturing her passion!

Gabbi brought her love for art, tennis, and her precious beagle, Romeo!

I’ve known Hailey since she was born! She brought her two pups Marley and Milo who were adorable!

Haylee brought her pup Kash and some pretty spectacular sunlight!

I’m now obsessed with pugs after I got to meet Louie, Isabel’s adorable pup. He knows tricks!

The adorable fluff was almost too much! Mackenzie brought her precious pups, Max & Yogi, and some beautiful smiles!

Mary Warren’s love of Henry melted my heart! Plus, her hair bow and his neck tie matched! Ugh, adorable!

Meghan found a creative way to display her love of all-star cheerleading! Love it!

Rachel and her cat Georgie brought some vintage summer vibes. Absolutely gorgeous!

RJ plays baseball for my alma mater, Hermitage! His golden, Chance, is his biggest fan!

I love how Taylor flew her flag during PRIDE month and shared her love of soccer! Stunning!
