Regan | Class of 2015

"A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear." I'm not sure who said it first, but it's oh so true.

Regan is soft and sweet, calm and quiet.  I just love her beautiful smile!

Taylor | Class of 2015

Taylor!!!!!!!!!!

When we got together to plan her session, she talked of all things light, flowy, and natural. Our evening was filled with open fields, a willow tree, some rustic logs, a floppy hat, and lots of light!

P.S. Taylor is my cousin, so it was a special privilege to take her senior portraits. Taylor, you're beautiful, and I'm so excited to celebrate your success in life! Love you!

Haley | Class of 2015

I love that photography has taken me on so many exciting adventures! The latest adventure was to Deep Creek Lake with Haley and her family.

We hiked through the gorgeous Swallow Falls, danced in fields, and took a amazing sunset boat ride on the lake.

Haley has such a sweet spirit. These images are playful and fun and full of light, which pretty much sums up our evening together perfectly.

Hannah & David | Class of 2015

Hannah and David are High School Sweethearts, so we spent an evening together in Gettysburg capturing some fun shots of them both! The evening was full of laughs, and we almost ended up in a parade of college Freshman students. Haha.  None of us will forget that one!

P. S. Hannah is my baby cousin. Can't believe you're a senior, Hannah Banana. What a beautiful young lady you are. Can't wait to see what God has in store for you! Love you!

Brittany | Class of 2015

Meet Brittany! She is full of confidence, excitement for life, and passion, and was recently crowned Franklin County Fair Queen! So proud of you and excited for you, Britt!

We spent an evening together on her family farm for her senior portraits. This place is near and dear to her heart, so it was the perfect location for Brittany. From the barn, to the pasture, and into the creek, these places are filled with so many childhood memories. I loved that about her session!

And guess what? She's a cheerleader too! So, we ended our evening on the field where you can find her Friday nights during football season.

Whitney | Class of 2015

She is a Dreamer. I loved hearing her heart as she told me about her future plans, hopes, and dreams.

She is bright, happy, playful, and fun and requested a few images with her BFF, Hannah.

Look at these two…nothing but smiles, giggles, funny faces, and laughter!

Claudia | Class of 2015

It's been so HOT! Summer is here, and it's one of my favorite times of the year. One of the main reasons being...senior portraits! I have the best clients, and it's a privilege to be part of this unforgettable time in their lives. I'm especially grateful for my Black Label team, of which Claudia was part of!

Claudia and I had a beautiful evening together last week on her family farms. These images are so warm and fun! Her smile practically jumps right off the screen.

Claudia, my dear, you are awesome and I loved everything about working with you!

Claudia is a Championship Showman, so we had to include her sidekick, Mazi, into some of her portraits.

2015 Black Label Team Spring Styled Shoot| Aviation

So, the number one question I get asked frequently is, 'What is Black Label?' Black Label is a program I created to allow for a greater opportunity to build relationship, inspire greatness, and awaken worth in the lives of high school girls. The highlight of the program is a styled shoot, complete with hair, make-up and wardrobe. Working with these girls is the heart of my business. My vision is to use photography to help build self-confidence and help to redefine beauty in the lives of young women.

Our 2015 Black Label Team is made up of a phenomenal group of young women from different high schools in the area. For this year's theme, the first set was Aviation inspired. Here are some of my favorites from our ridiculously fun afternoon together!

Stay tuned to see images from our Glitz & Glam inspired set!

2015 Black Label Contributors:

Hope Bigler, Photographer {obviously, ha!}

Selena Jetnarayan, Photographer

Mwita Chacha, Videographer

Heather Carey, Hair/Make-up Artist

Amy Brown, Hair/Make-up Artist

Marcie Zimmerman, Hair Stylist

Bethani Benshoff, Hair Stylist

Jen Everetts, Stylist/Assistant

Heather Harris, Stylist/Assistant

The list of names above are the people who are responsible for helping to bring this vision to life. I could not make this program happen without their encouragement and support. THANK YOU. You guys are so incredibly awesome!

Nathan | Senior Portrats

You'll likely find him on a field, a court, or the great outdoors.

I've known Nathan's family for years, but it was a special treat to get to know Nathan on the chilly afternoon we spent together earlier this week. Nathan is an athlete to the core, playing some type of sport pretty much year 'round. He also loves hunting with his Dad and brother. He's a laid back, easy-going guy who is also quite a gentleman. He totally impressed with his thoughtfulness and politeness. Nathan, all my best to you in your future ahead!

Lizzie | Senior Portraits

I recently read this quote:

'Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It's about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart and a pretty soul.' -Unknown

And, I couldn't agree more! While Lizzie is so naturally beautiful, what radiates from her smile is her heart! She is thoughtful and compassionate, always thinking of others. She's got the world ahead of her and a family that loves her deeply. Lizzie, I think you're awesome. Thanks for the privilege to be part of your senior year.

Rachael | Senior Portraits

That hair. Curls that this stick-straight-short-haired-girl can only dream of. Those eyes....amazing!

Rachel is fun-loving and energetic. We combined some natural and more urban environments for her session, and since softball is such a big part of her life, we definitely included shots at the field where she grew up.
