Emily and Lauren…identical twins…two different personalities…both unique and beautiful!  Throughout Emily’s session we were able to incorporate her love for music.

Make sure to check out Lauren’s blog post, too, but for now I’m please to introduce to you…Emily!

Brooke Beachy did a wonderful job of hair and makeup for Emily and Lauren.  Thank you, Brooke!

I really enjoyed photographing Lauren and Emily…identical twins.  It’s amazing how two people can look so much alike, and yet God made them both special and unique with different interests and talents!  We did separate sessions for Lauren and Emily and then a few shots of the girls together.   Don’t miss Emily’s blog post, too!   Here’s Lauren…!

Special thanks to Brooke Beachy for the beautiful job of hair and makeup for both Lauren and Emily!

When I think about Kristina’s senior session I think about the combination of her unique and beautiful features…deep blue eyes, dark curly hair, and a fair complexion.  More importantly, however, is Kristina’s inner beauty and strong faith in God.

Kristina is a senior at Shekinah Christian School and is considering graphic design as a possible career choice.  When asked what her favorite quote is she shared, “Always be joyful.  Never stop praying.  Be thankful in all circumstances.”   1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Kristina’s session was the first of a new venture for Jessica Photography into styled senior sessions!  We’re partnering with Belle Cherie~Styles by Janelle to give seniors a fun and unique experience for their senior session…you’re only a senior once!  The “styled experience” begins with a consultation to discuss likes, dislikes, personality, clothing, accessories, etc….maybe even take a trip to the mall if needed!  Then, the day of the session Belle Cherie enhances the natural beauty with hair styling and makeup.  I feel Kristina’s session was a hit!

It was delight to photograph Tracy!  She is a senior at Jonathan Alder High School and loves to play soccer.  After high school she plans to major in biochemistry.

I had not met Tracy before the evening of her session, but something that stood out to me was that she is comfortable with who she is…I admire this in her.  To me she seemed to have an outward confidence, however she would say that her friends see her as quiet, shy, and yet driven.  No matter how others “see” Tracy, I believe the person that she is inside is summed up in her favorite quote, “Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect.”

Blessings to you in your future, Tracy!  Enjoy your senior year!

Let me tell you a little about Janelle!  You see, Janelle is my youngest cousin (yes, I’m the oldest!), so I have had the privilege of watching Janelle grow up…literally right next door.  Janelle is outgoing, fun-loving, loves to sing, play basketball, and has a great desire to serve God…which makes me so proud of her!

When asked what her plans are after graduation this is what she shared, “I am hoping to go to college where I will major in Social Work, and hopefully sing in a worship group of some sort, or join the REACH program.  Most of all, I just want to do what God wants me to, so that I can bring honor and glory to Him through my life…that’s my ultimate goal.”

While our family was vacationing in Florida we were able to find some time for a senior session on Siesta Key.  What fun to have a new location and new look for senior portraits!

Janelle, the Lord bless you as you seek Him and serve Him.  Love you much!

I enjoyed spending a bit of time with Katie for her senior session.  Her love for God is evident in her sweet and gentle personality.  What does Katie like?  She likes to play basketball, frozen yogurt shops, and someday would like to travel to Europe!

Katie’s favorite quote is, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”  -Martin Luther King Jr.

Katie, enjoy your senior year and the journey the Lord has planned for your future!  Blessings!
