Senior Prom

Wow! I had so much fun seeing some of my seniors again at prom in their formals and getting to shoot them one last time! Can you recognize them?

and dear Andrea and Blake who we love so much!

You are the best....

One of the reasons I am a photographer is because I love trying to capture the essence of "You". You are truly amazing and inspiring, and it is always so gratifying and fun getting to know you. Sharing the "Rafter T Photography experience is always an adventure!

Today, I received a random call from someone that had received a customer's wedding announcement in the mail. They were just calling to let me know how beautiful it was and that they had seen a lot of wedding announcements, but nothing that even came close to the quality of this one! {wish I could post it for you, but they kindly requested to keep it private} Ahhh... I always really appreciate those calls!

And then... this came in the mail!

One of my announcements with the sweetest "Thank You" note letting me know how awesome & pretty their pictures were and how much they loved taking them with me! So sweet, it really touched my heart, and again reminded me why I love what I do. Thank YOU!

Columbia HS Graduation!

In honor of Devin's graduation, I wanted to post some of her favorite announcements!
"Full Year"
"Memories in Color"

"Memories in Black & White"

For the inside top, which is often left blank in folded announcements, I wanted to highlight some of her achievements. I had this idea, which everyone LOVES....!

I love it when I have a **brilliant** idea!
Now, which is YOUR favorite announcement front?
CONGRATULATIONS DEVIN! You are amazing!

Grad Announcement Time!

Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE creating announcements?
I personally design each and every announcement from scratch, hand-selecting the colors and fonts to match the image(s). Everything is custom created, and no two are ever the same.

This was another, totally different option I called PINK!

Sneak Peek: Krissy!

Meet Krissy, a senior at Melba High School! I just LOVE this beautiful shot of Krissy--it is my favorite from the session!
I didn't know it prior to the session, but Krissy loves horses! When I found out, I just HAD to try to get some shots of Krissy with a horse--and she loves white horses! I think getting this shot was a dream come true for both of us--an unexpected surprise for Krissy, and I was thrilled to get something I like so much because the horses were were not exactly being the most cooperative!

Krissy was such a supermodel! During her session it was not only cold--it was windy too--but she was such a good sport and did awesome! It took quite awhile to warm back up after being outside in the cold in short-sleeves for so long!

I really like the fly-away hair in this one though, so the weather did work in our favor from time-to-time!

I wanted to do something special with this one that I have been loving the look of lately. I call it porcelain skin. Isn't it great?


Speaking of special, Senior portraits are such a special thing! You only get them once in your entire life at such a special time--in preparation for graduation from high school and as you prepare to embark on a whole new journey and phase of life! I always feel so lucky whenever I have a senior session, and I love capturing the personality of each individual senior at this time in their lives to create something that will last FOREVER. Whether you are thirty-something or long gone gray, your senior pictures will always represent how you FEEL on the inside, even after your outer appearance has changed, and your future posterity will be able to treasue the images long after you are gone.


Krissy, thanks for letting me share something SO special with you. I really enjoyed meeting you and had such a wonderful time taking your pictures! They look GREAT and I can't wait for you to see the rest!
