 The blog

I don’t know even where to begin with this shoot. I have never met such an amazing group of people, and I spent the day laughing and creating friendships. This shoot was the brain child of Alex of Eaglet Photography and Sarah of Sarah Kehl Photography! They created such a beautiful shoot and brought together a fantastic group of models and vendors!


The models were so funny and professional the entire day. I don’t know how Sarah and Alex found such mature and confident young women spanning from freshman to seniors in high school! 

First there was the lovely Cornelia Barnwall. Oh my gosh this girl had me cracking up the entire day. She was full of entertainment, including getting “First Time in Forever” stuck in my head for 36 hours (she’s an amazing singer) I couldn’t believe she was only 16 and such a natural model. I just met her on Saturday but I have true love for this girl! 


Next up there is Jenna Whited from Mebane! This girl rocked the 20’s Gatsby style like she belonged in that century. I loved working with this gorgeous girl. We bonded over the frustration of being gingers, and how maybe one day our freckles will combine together to make us tan! She headed off to Wilmington to start her freshman year in College in the Fall! 


Then there’s the fabulous Sayer Kirk! Holy Cow can you believe this beautiful girl is only a FRESHMAN! I couldn’t believe it! Sayer shares my love of experimenting with her hair colors, and I can’t wait to see what this girl has in store for her!


Then there’s the wonderful Katelyn Welborn! This beauty is from Greensboro, NC. Katelyn looked AMAZING in her floor length sequined dress, with a little 20’s inspired hair style! 


Last but not least was Mikaela McAdams! She was our hometown Gibsonville girl, and loves photography! She was so fierce and excited through out the entire day! I never saw someone so excited for glitter (besides me!!!) 


We started our day at Wade’s Diamond Room in downtown Gibsonville. They had a balcony that had such amazing light I loved it!

Then we found a cute spot in Downtown Gibsonville for our adorable set up!

We headed over to Burke’s Manor for the rest of the evening for some great outdoor shots!

^I love our “THAT’s A WRAP” picture!^

 

Thank you again to Sarah and Alex for putting on such a wonderful styled shoot and to the most AMAZING models for making my job the most easiest thing in the world!
