Pinkd Jewelry

I was like a kid in a candy store! I opened up the bag and all I could see was an assortment of glittering gems and marbled looking stones. I didn't know where to begin! There were just so many choices! And so many pretty things to photograph!!

A couple blog posts ago I talked about one of my awesome 2014 high school seniors, Stephanie, who also happens to be a super talented jewelry artist too! Before her senior photo session, while she was getting her hair and makeup professionally done by my other talented friend Kirstie Wight, I thought it would be fun to photograph some of Stephanie's hand-made creations. I asked if that would be ok and she said, "Sure! It's all over there in that bag!" I didn't really know what to expect but, when I opened what was inside I was floored with how unique and beautiful her jewelry was! Her work truly speaks for itself. Each piece is so professionally crafted you would have no idea that the woman behind it all is only 17 years old! Just looking at her work, you can tell how much thought and care she puts into selecting the stones and jewels she uses for each piece. Each set is truly a work of art.

Below is just a taste of the jewelry she creates. But don't just stop there! Check out even more of her jewelry herein her online shop!

Ms. Sienna - Senior Portrait Photography

 There was a crispness in the air and the leaves had just changed from bright greens to vibrant yellows and oranges. I had visited the park not even a week before, and although it looks beautiful even on a regular day, the colors of the trees and surroundings seemed to intensify solely for Sienna's session. Between the beautiful blue skies, the vibrant colored leaves surrounding us everywhere we went, and the gorgeous girl with long curly locks that I got to photograph in every shot, things could not have been more perfect! 

 

Thanks for letting me capture your senior photos Sienna! You were so much fun to photograph and hang out with!

Ms. Stephanie - Senior Portrait Photography

This incredible goofball stole my heart from the minute I met her. Not only is she sweet and kind, super mature for her age, and a joy to hang out with, but she is ridiculously hilarious too!! Despite her angelically beautiful face below, I could probably fill up an entire other blog post just displaying her wide array of silly faces that I got to capture. But not just that, she's an amazing little entrepreneur too!! She goes to school, studies for the SAT's, babysits little kids on the side, and in the midst of it all, makes beautiful jewelry creations too! This girl does it all! She even wore some of her own hand-made jewelry during her photo session! Go check out her stunning creations at Pinkdjewelry.com! I can't wait to see all the amazing things this girl will accomplish in her future!
