senior photos
There’s so much joy and sadness wrapped around a season of lasts and firsts. The joy comes from the anticipation and excitement of finishing a season well but the sadness comes from the nostalgia of knowing you are ending part of a journey and you will never be that way again. There’s such beauty in both of those emotions tho. That’s where we are as we enter this season with our beautiful firstborn!

Read MoreSenior Shoots do not have to be boring!!! This one was a laugh a minute!!! We had so much fun with the Whiddon family at Destin, photographing their beautiful daughter and her friends for a senior session. Let me back up a bit...we have been photographing this family for many years! They have been some of our biggest cheerleaders and fans in our business adventures. We look forward to photographing them each year. We always schedule it for the "golden hour" so that they get the most epic sunsets! And they do. What's more is that they are the best sports. Jump shots? No problem for this family. They are always up for an adventure when it's time to do their shoots. We absolutely love that about them. Since they believe in Allen and his vision for their photos, it makes our job so easy, and in addition, it allows Allen the freedom to get the photos he's dreaming of! Now that's a win-win!
They are also precious friends of ours, and that makes this senior session even more special! We are so excited to celebrate this young lady and all the hard work she has put in over the years. It's going to be so exciting to see where God takes her in the future. Lord knows, she's got amazing parents, grandparents and a sweet brother to be a part of her support team! And her zest for life, which makes her so much fun to be around, is really going to take her places!
Kirsten, you have worked hard and accomplished much! It's time to spread your wings and fly, girl! You've got this! We are so proud of you and so thankful to have had the opportunity to photograph you & hang out with you and your friends. You keep us laughing!
Cheering you on!!!
Allen & Carol
This girl here is one of the strongest girls we know! We have known her since she was an infant & its been so amazing watching her grow up! Through gymnastics, surgeries and many other challenges, she has stayed strong...trusting the Lord thru each situation. We are so proud of her and so excited to highlight her on our blog and celebrate her! We can't wait to see where life takes her.
She has already done incredible things, including graduating Cum Laude from Lawton Chiles High School in May of this year and winning the distinguished Lawton Chiles award! In addition, she came in first runner up for the District's Best and Brightest Recognition in the Public Speaking category. WOW!!!
Most of all, we are impressed by her character! She always has a sweet spirit and beautiful smile no matter what she is facing. Her strength and joy truly come from the Lord.
Great things await this sweet gal!
Congratulations Micah Joyner! We are rooting for you!

From an adorable young girl to a beautiful young lady...We are so proud of this Senior! We have known J and her family for many years...
You don't want to miss this!!! These are definitely some of our favorite Senior photos thus far! What an honor it was to be able to photograph this senior, who attends Chiles High School and plays football for them as well! (Go Timberwolves!)
Allen was especially excited about this shoot, as he had some super cool ideas and couldn't wait to experiment with chalk dust and lights! What?! And Cole was the perfect senior to work with for Allen's creativity! We loved working with him! From beginning to end, he was a natural! He was super relaxed and never seemed to tire of Allen's crazy (and awesome, if I may say ;-) ideas! And it paid off! We always consider it a privilege to photograph Seniors...knowing this is the end of a season in their lives and the beginning of many new adventures! We can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead for Cole, as he graduates in 2017! We believe he's going to do great things in the future!
The photos below show when the fun really began! Keep on scrolling! This is when we were so grateful that Cole is a patient and chilled guy to put up with all the lighting changes and hold the poses for what probably seemed like an eternity. He nailed it!
