Courtney >> 2017 North Jackson Senior

Everyone knows how much I love my seniors, and I’m having the best time working on all these summer senior sessions! School is back in full swing now, so we’re scheduling around classes, sports schedules, extracurricular activities and more, which makes things a bit more stressful for my seniors. What’s great about summer sessions is how easy they are– wake up late, get pampered with hair and makeup, and then be a supermodel for a day 😉

Courtney was my first North Jackson senior of the year and she opted for the on location hair and makeup package with Tasha, which is perfect for hot summer days when you know you’ll need a few touch ups! One thing I love about my girls getting hair and makeup at K Roney (besides the fact that they always look flawless) is that there’s the cutest garden area in the back where we can grab a few shots before we head out to our other locations! From there, we headed into downtown Scottsboro to hit up a few of my favorite spots. Courtney was the first senior I’ve shot in front of the repainted Coca Cola mural and she absolutely rocked it!

When Courtney told me she brought sunglasses for a few photos, I was sort of amazed that I had never thought to tell my seniors to bring shades before! They were the cutest addition to Courtney’s portraits and I love the fun, timeless vibe of those particular images. We wrapped up our session in Jackson County Park, a place I had never shot before but only driven through. I knew we’d be able to find some beautiful light and I was not disappointed! I had a “Kayla moment” (anyone who’s shot with me before knows that’s when I get distracted by some crazy idea) and asked Courtney if she would stand on a tree stump for me. Yes, a tree stump. Yes, I am a crazy person. But I LOVE the resulting images. I feel like Courtney’s some nature goddess, looking out over her domain. (I already told you I’m crazy.)

Courtney’s session was a mix of so many great looks– from girly, to timeless, to whimsical– and so much fun to shoot, even in the sweltering Alabama heat. I think we were able to capture something just a little different in each set of photos, and I’m super happy with the results.
