Katelyn is a senior at Newberry High School. She is a natural beauty and is one of those girls who radiates beauty from the inside out. Her genuine smile is contagious! She did an amazing job in front of my camera and has such a bright future ahead of her! These are just a few of my favorites. It was so hard to narrow it down!!

When Miss Leticia contacted me she was in a state of turmoil and panic. I learned from a mutual friend that she had been left stranded by her wedding coordinator. She had no venue, no photographer, you get the point. There is a happy ending to this story. I just couldn't NOT do something. It wasn't about the money or the recognition. It was about making sure two people, who love each other fiercely, receive images portraying that love. Our memories can never fade so long as we have the images to look back on. I can now say Leticia and Raney are two very good friends and I look forward to photographing their wedding in 2017...again!

Miss Maria contacted me about photographing her sweet sixteen moments. How could I say no!? Turning 16 is one of the biggest moments in a teen's life. I was honored she chose me to tell just a small part of her new journey... And how gorgeous is she!? These are just a few of my favorites from our time together. I had such a hard time choosing only a few!!

I met Miss Emmalyn's mom through her sister, Stacy, whom I work with. To be asked by Theresa to photograph Emmalyn's first set of pictures had me dancing on air before, during, and after the session. It is quite a special thing to be welcomed into the "Sroka" circle, and I can say I am very honored and cherish each day of it...

Megan contacted me via Thumbtack, a website used by clients to submit their needs and have the photographers come to them. Megan and her family were visiting from Atlanta, Georgia for the week and wanted some family photos done. From the moment I knocked on the door to their beach house, I was greeted by some of the sweetest people I've ever met. 

I left the session with sore sides from laughing and sore cheeks from smiling. I had such a blast with this family and am so honored she selected me out of her many options to tell her family's story...

Miss Elaine stole my heart the minute she looked up at me with her bright eyes. Her mama contacted me to participate in the boutique special I was running with Belle's & Buck's Boutique. Despite her mama being a die-hard Packers fan, I had such fun capturing some sweet moments of little Elaine while she enjoyed herself. ;) Oh, did I mention how jealous I am of her gorgeous curls!?!

I have known Miss Baylee's brother since he was 11 years old and him and my brother were inseparable. So, when Baylee's mom came to me asking me to take Baylee's images, I didn't even think twice. She braved the heat and bugs with me and we both had a blast in the middle of the wildflowers...
