Sweet Summertime with Sam!

Meet Samantha Fuller, Class of 2016 Greenbrier High School.

I first shot Sam and her 2 sisters about 10 years ago.  Remembering her just as a small kid, I could not believe it when I saw her. She grew up to be a cross between Carrie Underwood and Reese Witherspoon.  Not too bad to be compared to on either side!  The camera absolutely loves her!

We shot on Sam's Dad's property out in Evans.  He runs a large commercial nursery on part and hunts on another part.  It was the perfect setting for a Southern Country shoot!

Sweet MB assisted me and got our gear loaded on 2 golf carts.  MB droveone golf cart and Michelle, Sam's Dad's wife, the other. (I dislike the term "step mother" as it conjures up not so nice images in one's mind thanks to Cinderella and Michelle is anything BUT that!)  We bid the 2 geese Michelle raised good day and headed out to find the light!

And find the light we did.  What beautiful property with so many gorgeous settings.  Woods, ponds, open areas, sunlight, ahhhhh just beautiful!  {Finally, land in Columbia County that isn't being developed.  Now that's what I'm talking about.}

Sam had the perfect look, as well!  Long, wavy hair, perfect makeup by Cameron McCormack and an equally perfect wardrobe to match the setting.  Talk about a trifecta! Light, Setting and Subject, we hit it baby!   {makeup by the talented Cameron McCormack, @muahbycam}

Congrats Samantha!  I hope you are savoring these bittersweet "lasts" of your high school years and making tons of memories you will never forget!

So Looooooooooong Summer!

     Well, with temps pushing 100, it's that time of the year again.  School starts back for Columbia County tomorrow, Richmond Co. on Thursday, and others begin on Monday.  (I mean, didn't we just get out for Summer?)  Seems like every year, summer gets shorter and shorter and before you know it, you haven't gotten together with friends at the pool (or in my case, you haven't done that pool shoot you've been meaning to do!)
    So, I rounded up a few FRESH reps looking all snazzy yesterday & with a lot of help from my good friend Jill & some simple braids by Cameron McCormack, we got our summer (well, more like 'Goodbye Summer') shoot on! Complete with Samson the Swan (inspired by none other than T. Swift & Calvin Harris' early summer pic) several floats, a couple of squirt thingies, noodles, beach balls, and some fun girls with loads of personality, we let the good times roll!  Thank you girls!  Thank you Jill!  Thank you, Cameron!  I couldn't have done it with out y'all!
           And now, it's So Long Summer, and Hello SENIOR year!

 

  Time to RULE the SCHOOL!
                                      Now go make some AMAZING memories!!

                       

sweet Summertime :)

   
Kicked off Summer 2015 with these fun girls!  A Beautiful day, so we decided to head out to the country ....not too far from town.  Came up on
     a u-pick-em farm and decided it was the perfect spot for a picnic!   Besides    strawberries, you could pick flowers, as well!  There were Zinnias and Gladiolas    that made the perfect backdrop for shootingwere perfect for shooting after we    stuffed our faces.  I think the tea was a wee bit sweet and the girls might have      had a sugar rush!   I have so much love for these girls!  :)
