meet miss mattie...

miss mattie needed a couple of headshots for a pageant she was participating in, so her mom brought her in for us to play "dress up". she is another natural in front of the camera. very relaxed, and knows when to put on a serious face. stay tuned for more photos from her session...t

introducing miss avery...

little miss avery reminds me of a little girl in an era gone by...such a timeless look she has to her. we could have just eaten her up she's so adorable!!! she had the most grown-up expressions for a little one, and very dramatic she was! thanks so much for letting tippy and i snap some shots of this little beauty!!! -t

emily

emily is a senior at west stanly this year. doesn't she have the most AMAZING green eyes!!!??? a natural in front of the camera. no need for direction. and what a doll she looks like in her cheerleading uniform!!! we had a great time with you emily, and can't wait til you drop in and see us again!!! *kisses* -t

terri jo

ah...to be young again! terri jo just oozes youthful vitality!!! she is a senior at south stanly this year. it seems like forever since tippy and i were there...well...at least it does for me!!! terri came into the session knowing she wanted some sophisticated shots, which i think we delivered to her. but not only did we deliver sophistication, we delivered some of the hardest laughs i have given in forever. getting terri on top of the vw bus was a challenge, but tippy getting her down was even more of a challenge. i still almost cry laughing about our session that day. what a blast. thanks for coming in terri jo, good luck with the guitar lessons!!! :) -t
