Senior Model Shoot

March 23, 2016

This was the very first shoot I did with my very first group of senior models! Jameelah, Kathleen, Sarah, Lauren and Callista met up at my home studio and had their makeup and hair professionally done by Heather. They all brought yellow and blue clothing options, and we decided together about what would work best for each girl. Can’t wait to collaborate on more shoots this year!

Morgan+Chase: Wedding

March 22, 2016

I met Morgan & Chase through a family referral, and I loved their energy from the first time we met! They aren’t afraid to have a good time, and they seemed to enjoy every morsel of their wedding day.

The theme was “vintage,” and that played through perfectly with the Butler’s Courtyard ambiance and the fabulously classy makeup and hair-styling of the bridal party. (These girls looked AMAZING!)

Venue: Butler’s Courtyard

Music: Musical Cheers

Cake: Cakes by Jula

Flowers: All That Blooms

New Senior Model Program!

February 29, 2016

Hey everyone, I am so excited to announce that I am starting a new Senior Model Program this year! I am selecting 2-3 2016 seniors, and a handful of 2017 seniors. (2016 seniors must fill out an application by Jan 31, and 2017 seniors must fill out an application by March 2.)

Models will receive a free session with professional makeup and styling advice. You will also have several opportunities to earn free products and be involved in mini-shoots throughout the year (2017 seniors)! I am looking for seniors involved in activities in and out of school who are comfortable in front of the camera.

If you are interested, please fill out the application below and send a favorite picture of yourself to gildedsun@aol.com. Also, share this link with your besties or anyone else you think may be interested!

2016/2017 Senior Rep Application

Connor: Newborn pictures

February 8, 2016

It’s not often that I photograph newborns, but it is such a special time in the growth of a young family that NEEDS to be documented! I love these sweet images of Casey and Patrick with their new little one!

Justine: portraits

February 5, 2016

I know Justine from working with her for J&D Entertainment, so it is rare that I see this girl without a full face of glitter and some stilts. Although she is one of the most extroverted performers I know, she admitted to not having to “just be Justine” very often… not sure exactly how to be herself in front of the camera. I think she did fabulously and we got some great, natural shots- I love the accessories she brought along!
