Happy New Year!

Wow! Can you believe that 2010 is almost over and 2011 is almost here?!? Looking back we had the most AMAZING year and I couldn't have asked for more amazing seniors! Class of 2011, you totally rock!

Looking back on this year, I was thinking about how this past year for Senior17 held many different changes. I have to say I think my favorite addition to Senior17 this past year has been the addition of our outdoor shoots! Whether it was just outside around the studio or going out to a special location in downtown Lexington or all the way to Winchester, they were all a BLAST! I cannot wait to see where my Seniors from the class of 2012 take me... both literally and figuratively! :)

Just a few shots from on location...








Have a Safe and Happy New Year!!! See you in 2011!!

The search is on!

It is official!!! Class of 2012 I am looking for you!

Meet Catherine!

Nick and I just got back from our Alaskan cruise and had THE most AMAZING time! It was so gorgeous! The whole trip was completely surreal! I took so many pictures it is overwhelming, but I promise I will share a few when I can. And although we had the best time, it is always good to come home. I missed our babies (Shelby and Whitey, our two cats), as well as the studio, which to my delight is totally busy with my 2011 Seniors!

Check out my next model, Miss Catherine!
