Anna, could you be any more adorable?
We spent a gorgeous fall afternoon together last weekend, and here are some of my favorites!
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!
Mia | Class of 2015
Mia!!!!!!!!!
You are beautiful, fun-loving, full of smiles {especially with your BFF Casey}, and you play the drums. You're a ROCKSTAR.
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!
Maddie | Class of 2015
Have I mentioned lately that I have the best clients?
Maaaaaaaaadddddiiiiieeeee! You are oh so fabulous!
Shelby | Class of 2015
Shelby! What a beauty through and through! I just love your sweet spirit.
From rooftops to flower fields, Shelby came game for anything and she rocked her session!
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

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!
Shelby | Senior Portraits
Well hello, gorgeous!
Shelby is a fun-loving, self-motivated and hardworking student athlete. She has more trophies and medals than you can probably count. I am so excited to see her accomplishments continue on the field and in the classroom throughout her college career. All the best, Shelby!
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.
Abby | Senior Portraits
I spent a gorgeous fall evening with Abby earlier this week. She is precious, adorable, and oh-so-sweet, all rolled into one! I love Abby's heart, which is full of love for God and others. She has big dreams, and I just continue to say...GO FOR IT! Abby, I believe in you. You are a treasure. The world needs more of what's in your heart.
Abby is a music artist!
She is also a HUGE Star Wars fan. So, we had to have a little fun with some off-camera lighting and props for this one!
Allex | Senior Portraits
Fashion flair with vintage vibe...
Meet Allex.
We spent a beautiful evening together earlier this week, shooting on back roads, in empty fields, and even at an old warehouse. Here is a preview of Allex's fun-loving and playful session!
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.
Rachel | Senior Portraits
I had so much fun with Rachel and this sun-soaked senior session! Rachel is part of the 2014 Black Label Team. She is such a sweetheart and I have loved everything about working with her!
Brittany | Senior Portraits
Brittany was a 6-year-old little girl when we met. Now, she's a beautiful young lady full of passion and gentleness. She's her Momma's blonde-haired princess and her Daddy's truck-lovin' country girl.
Brittany, I love your smile and your heart full of love towards others. Can't wait to see what's ahead for you!
