I'm so excited to share some images from Hannah's VIP session we did this summer. Hannah signed up with my Dawn Fry Photo VIP Program, and I am so excited to have her on the team. Hannah is a talented athlete, a sweet soul, and has a wonderful personality. 

We started out the day with professional hair and makeup by the talented Marie with Paint Me Pretty in The Beauty Bar Salon in Cedar Park. It is so nice to have Marie close to my studio (only 5 steps away!) and she is a joy to work with. She styled Hannah perfectly for her session. 

After the studio portion, we loaded up to head downtown and got a total shock when a freak rain storm came out of nowhere! We were stuck in traffic for over an hour (Mopac sucks! lol!) and finally made it to the South Congress area just as there was a small part in the clouds. Hannah and her momma were total rockstars and agreed to carry on with the session despite the chances of getting drenched. We got lucky though, and after just a few minutes of sprinkles we were blessed with clear skies. 

Because of the rain and traffic delay though, we weren't able to complete the session before sunset, and scheduled part two for the following week. This time, Hannah opted for straight hair with a cute braid, and a little bit different makeup look from Marie, and we headed out to Bull Creek for the final location of Hannah's VIP session. 

In hindsight, the weather and traffic delay was a blessing. Hannah got to change her look and come back refreshed and pumped for the second half of her session. The weather was perfect (though scorching hot!) and her images turned out amazing!

Thank you, Hannah and Becki, for trusting me with this special memory! I had such a great time with you both, and can't wait to spend more time with you this year with all the VIP activities. 

If you want your very own VIP or senior session, contact me asap! I still have a few openings for October, and a couple for November as well. 

Lago Vista is one of my favorite small towns near Austin. It's close enough that you can easily drive into the "big city" but also far enough out that you feel like you are getting away from it all. It also maintains that "small town" feel even though it is growing at a crazy rate. I love it when Lago Vista High School seniors come to me for senior portraits! They are always such interesting people with unique interests and personalities. 

Jacquelyn is just that - unique and interesting. I was so blessed to have her on my DFP Spokesmodel team for the class of 2018! She was a great addition to the group, and was so fun to be around at the shoots and events. 

We started out in Georgetown on the square to bring that LV small town feel to her senior photos. 

Jacquelyn was, at the time of her session, studying to be a pilot, so it only made sense that we had to do something at the airport! I was positively giddy when she told me we could do part of her shoot at the Georgetown Municipal Airport with one of the planes. 

And I think my photographer's heart exploded when she asked if we could do some parachute dress shots as well! It was a fabulous day!

Sending a big THANK YOU to all those who helped with this session! I couldn't have done it without you!

I photographed way more guys this year than I normally do. I think it's AWESOME! I love, love, love when guys want senior pictures! (or when their moms talk them into it! lol) It's so fun to see the relationship of a boy and his momma, and being a mom of two younger boys myself, it helps me to know that there is a good chance mine will be just as sweet, caring, and endearing with me some day. Allow me to introduce you to Allen. 

I have to admit I am slightly partial to redheads. I am not sure why, but I have always enjoyed their personalities - especially the boys. There is something about those freckles though...

I loved watching him play his guitar. 

After a couple of outfits at the Austin capitol, we headed over to one of my favorite parks for some nature shots. Allen loves being outdoors, so this was the perfect spot for his senior photos. We captured several outfits - including his Aggie maroon, his Cedar Park High School letterman, and of course, Hawaiian shirts and a baseball cap. Allen played football for Cedar Park, so we made sure to get some senior pics representing that as well. 

I love it when high school seniors want photos in contrasting locations. It's fun to do senior sessions downtown and also in a park. Or combining urban senior photos with a water session. It really helps to create an album of images that is diverse and personal to the senior's personality. Photographing a senior in their favorite places creates a fantastic memory. And best of all, I love it when mom jumps in for a couple of photos with her senior. That makes the whole thing even more special. 

Thanks Allen for trusting me with your senior photos! It was a pleasure serving you. 

All my senior sessions are special to me, but sometimes one comes along and you just know it's going to be memorable. My session with Round Rock High School Senior, Trent, was one such session. 

Allow me to introduce you! Trent's love for bowling brought us to the local bowling alley for the first part of his session. I'd like to send a big thank you to Spare Time Texas, who was kind enough to allow us to take up a couple of lanes for this event. They made sure we had anything we needed, and they were all super kind and friendly. 

After a quick shoot there, we headed out to a local park to photograph Trent and his many interests. Trent is a cowboy at heart, so the homestead at Katherine Fleischer Park was the perfect backdrop for his outfit.

We then moved on to show his love for sports. Can you believe how many medals he has?? I just loved seeing all that he's accomplished. He's a Superman!!

Trent is now attending the best college in the land, UT! His family is so proud. I bet he is taking over the campus with his amazing energy and charm. Hook 'em!

My favorite part of his senior session though, was when he changed into his suit. Looking sharp, we talked about prom, all his girlfriends, and going to his favorite place, Disney World. He's such a cutie!

Anyone who loves bowties that much has got to be a pretty great guy, right? What a blessing to get to know this amazing family. Thank you, Trent, for showing me your authentic smile and allowing me the privilege of capturing it. 

You are one super cool guy. 

Brittany is a competitive swimmer and all around gorgeous girl inside and out. At her pre-session design consultation, we discussed everything from locations to outfits and more. It was vital to incorporate her love of water into her senior photo session. We also wanted to show off her beauty and personality, so we chose to photograph her first in the cute little square in Georgetown, TX, and hit some of the more popular spots there. 

The red brick wall really complimented her coloring and that darling little black dress! 

It wouldn't be a proper senior session in Georgetown if we didn't visit the famous blue door at The Union on Eighth!

To compliment the gorgeous small town images from Georgetown, we then headed over to one of my favorite spots for water sessions. It has a beautiful park area with green grass and trees most of the year, as well as some incredible rock sides to the creek that are perfect for photos. 

My favorite part though, is always when we are ready to get in the water! Most of my clients are surprised when I go all in, shoes and everything, to get those all important shots. Trust me, it pays off. Just look at Brittany!

Brittany was definitely most happy in the water. It's her second home. And I loved capturing that for her.
