Senior photography session | Dublin, Ohio

I enjoyed all my 2020-21 senior sessions, but this young lady holds a special place in my heart! I’ve known Leah for several years, survived a pandemic school year with her and we met up for FOUR different shoots between her two summer sessions, her fall session and lastly, her cap & gown session. We met for coffee just a couple days before her graduation & captured the last few memories of her senior year of high school. Although it took me all summer to blog these, I’ve been looking forward to sharing them and finally closing out our sessions from the class of 2021. We wish all our graduated seniors the best of luck as they head to college and out into the world this fall. Leah, you will be missed… but Capital isn’t far away, so instead of “goodbye” I’ll say “see you soon” (insert tear!).

Senior photography session | Westerville, Ohio

Only two more Class of 2021 seniors to showcase before the new class comes along… and we couldn’t forget about Reina! I’ve known her for a few years and she is always good for a laugh (although she was unusually quiet during our session!?) I’ll miss seeing her smiling face and hope she enjoys life in the “real world” starting this fall!

Senior photography session | Dublin, Ohio

We have just a few more favorites to share from the graduating class of 2021, and we can’t forget about this young lady! Reagan did her “Sweet & Simple Senior Session” in Historic Dublin and we had fun walking around, chatting and finding the best photo opps. A few quick outfit changes and a couple different backgrounds gave her gallery some variety and voila… timeless senior memories captured forever! Wishing Reagan the best as she ventures out into the world of adulthood!

Senior photography session | Dublin, Ohio

This beautiful girl, Leila, made her way from Dayton to do her senior session so I especially honored that she chose LBP! We met in Bridgepark and although it was a smidge chilly, we got a perfect sunset & some perfect images! Leila was sweet, fun and so easy to work with. Here are a few favorites from her session and I hope the end of her senior year is going well!

Senior photography session | Olentangy Orange HS, class of 2021

This beautiful young lady is just a few weeks away from being a high school graduate and we had to share her most recent senior session before she went out into the world of adulting! Leah literally couldn’t have been any easier to work with… beauty, style, comfortable in front of the camera, and full of laughter, our time together “hanging out” was so fun and the evening flew by. We ended up doing three separate senior sessions {see her summer sessions HERE} and my time with Leah will always rank at the top of my favorite senior sessions. This little peek doesn’t do her justice, but I hope she’ll be able to reflect back and remember the good {and maybe even the challenging!} times she spent at Olentangy Orange High School. Best wishes to you Leah!

Dublin senior photography session | Dublin Coffman HS, class of 2021

I’m a photographer, but I’m also a high school teacher and my heart aches for all the seniors this year. So many school and senior activities have been canceled or changed… yet they keep on keepin’ on with a smile on their faces! I’m so proud of the class of 2021 and thankful that some milestones, such as outdoor senior pictures, can still make their year special and memorable. I recently had the chance to spend the evening with Alison who attends my alma mater, Dublin Coffman High School! We, along with her parents, toured the park catching glimpses of the golden sun as it set behind us in the fields. It was a perfect night and I hope we captured a little piece of Alison that will be frozen in these timeless images forever!

Senior photography session | Olentangy Orange HS, class of 2021

Winter, spring and early summer we shoot mostly families, babies and the occasional corporate or small business session… but once August rolls around, we start working more regularly with soon-to-be graduates. Zayla is the kind of dreamy client that makes me fall in love with senior photography over and again! A gorgeous girl on a beautiful late summer day is bound to give you some amazing images. We had SO much fun exploring the park, chatting it up and having an impromptu dance session on the boat dock! Check out some favorites from our evening sunset senior session…

I’d be remiss to not mention Zayla’s big sis, Milana, another one of my favorite senior clients –> click HERE to take a walk down memory lane!

Senior photography session | Hilliard, Ohio

It is bound to be a legendary year, and many 2021 grads are making the best of the chaos while still taking part in “traditional” events like their senior photo session! Michael and I met up at Homestead Metro Park, exploring both the nature and the architecture of the park. Although I’m sure he was there more for his mom… he did a great job of acting like he was having a good time and channeling his “model” charm! Here’s hoping this was the start of an amazing senior year for you, Michael!

Senior photography session | Olentangy Orange HS, class of 2021

This next school year will bring unique adventures for all of us – especially our seniors – as they navigate the ever-changing school landscape, while making the most of their last year of high school. As summer draws to an end, our upcoming class of 2021 graduates will begin to schedule many important milestones… and we can’t wait to kick off senior portrait season!

I’ve been lucky enough to know Leah for a few years now and was SO happy when we scheduled her senior pictures. Not only is she GORGEOUS (I mean, just look at her!), she is also kind, genuine and incredibly entertaining… she makes me laugh and always sees the brighter side of life. Our first attempt didn’t last long as the rain rolled in and our session was shortened, but our second night gave us perfect weather and beautiful light. Although it was nearly impossible to narrow down her gallery and choose my favorites, I finally managed to do so… check out some favorites from Leah’s summer senior session!

One of Leah’s besties joined us too, so of course I had to snap a few of these cuties together…

Looking forward to this school year and fingers crossed, it goes as smooth and “normal” as possible!

Senior photography session | Dublin Jerome HS, class of 2020

I’ve known my friend Erin since way back in the day… “the good ol’ days” we often call them. We were fast friends, soccer teammates and created all kinds of fun ~ or rather mischief ~ together.

Flash forward to 2020 and Erin has a daughter old enough to head off to college! You can’t imagine how crazy this seems to me. Her daughter, Riley, is a recent graduate of Dublin Jerome and headed to play soccer this year as a Louisville Cardinal. She is a beautiful girl full of ambition and I hope her aspirations of being a collegiate athlete and starting her “real freshman year” play out as they should!

Although this session was captured a few months back, I’m finally making time to blog and commemorate the memories. It was my pleasure to spend the evening with not only Erin and Riley, but two of Riley’s friends, Alyssa and Lily. Between the three seniors, I saw the most variety I’ve had at a shoot with a total of 9 (or maybe 10?) outfit changes and loads of golden sunshine on the Mullady’s gorgeous farm. Here are some favorites from their session… and likely our last senior 2020 post as we begin working with the upcoming class of 2021!!
