This year goes by too quickly...

As a mom, I get it. It feels like yesterday they were running around your feet, now they are driving away without you. As much as you want to stop time, for just a minute, it keeps going by faster than ever. Which is why I love making your Seniors' portrait session a great memory. Simple, FUN, and relaxed.

Unsure of where to go and what to wear?
Worried they will feel awkward in front of the camera?
Don't know what will look good displayed in your home?

Let me put your mind at ease and show you how.

Choosing Carol was seriously the best decision I could have ever made. She made me feel like a movie star! She listened to exactly what I wanted. We went to the most gorgeous spots in Colorado. When I saw the pictures, I cried. She had captured me in a way that showed who I really am.

Carol let me laugh, have fun and be natural. She never had me pretend to be someone I wasn't. She made me feel so comfortable! I will always remember my senior photoshoot because of Carol and the amazing experience I had!
