I knew I would love photographing this high school senior when his mom came in and said, "he's just a country boy at heart". Well, we do live in East TN....so you might think that's not really saying much. But when I was a senior, I hated living here. I was always afraid I would grow up to marry a cowboy and live on a farm. 

Ironically enough, when I met my husband, he was wearing Wranglers, boots, a cowboy hat and a belt buckle so big we both could've eaten dinner on it. Though he doesn't dress that way anymore, we're both very much in love in with our area and love doing life with people who feel the same. ((And I wouldn't even fall apart if we lived on a farm.)) 

What a handsome little bird, heh? He's a GREAT model...super cool to be around and that girlfriend of his?! Are you kidding me?? How gorgeous is she! They make the sweetest couple ever. I think it's cool when kids want to include someone in their Senior Session. We typically don't do alot of shots with them, but it's fun to change things up a bit. 

Loved getting to hang with them for a bit and document Klein for his senior year. Sweet family. 

This group of friends keep circulating through the doors of our studio and I'm oh so grateful to get to document such an exciting time in their lives. 

This fella has it together. Athletic, great student, great morals and having super fun friends that share all of the same qualities certainly doesn't hurt!! I count myself blessed to get to know them.  

Love this family...they style hard and do play very well. :) 

Always a great time with them watching them be allowed to be siblings who love each other, but don't always have to get along. This family oozes grace while rocking fun times. The beautiful people. 

This drop dead gorgeous mom is a photographer in Chattanooga. She totally gets the fact that fleeting moments in life and relationships are worthy of documenting and I'm blown away that she trusts me to be one who can do that for her family. This is Drew's Senior year and he wanted his session to take place at their farm up in Virginia. Love this place! You can see their last session from 2009 here . Funny, I just looked that link up to share with you and read what I had wrote from 2 years ago and do you know I started that post the same exact way I started this one. Predictable much? Hey, truth is truth. When you're beautiful inside and out, people are just gonna talk about you like that. You rock, Kathy.
