When I receive messages like the one below from a client, I get all teary eyed. As you will see from Stephanie's pictures, she has no reason at all to be insecure. She is such a beautiful person. Inside and out. It makes me so happy to hear that I was able to help her feel better about her self image and build her confidence, all while having a great time creating gorgeous senior portraits that she can cherish for a lifetime.
Stephanie's words:
"I first heard
about Billie from my friend Caitlin. She recommended me to Billie to
help me with my senior project. My project was on natural beauty
photography. I went and shadowed Billie one Saturday morning while
she was taking pictures of a girl for her sweet sixteen! I loved
learning all her cool techniques she uses, and I was so mesmerized by
how cool the experience was. So much so that I wanted to get her to take my pictures
too!
So on one freezing, windy, cold day we all went to the NC
Arboretum and she took my senior pictures! I wasn’t feeling so
confident in the beginning of my session. But then she ended up
showing me the pictures on her camera while we were taking pictures. That made me like a little more confident and I loosened up! She is
easy to take pictures with anyways because she is always cracking
jokes and laughing, and it just puts a smile on your face! (Which
makes for a cute candid picture!)
I loved how she boosts your
confidence while taking pictures. Coming from a girl who doesn’t
have much confidence, it feels good to be happy with your self-image!
'
EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET THEIR PICTURES DONE WITH BILLIE! She is by far
the best I’ve seen, and she comes with a great personality! Thank
you so much for taking such wonderful pictures for my senior year. I
am forever grateful. "

As Stephanie stated, it was a freezing cold morning when we shot these images. She was such a trooper trying not to look like she was frozen. I think she succeeded. This first set of images looks so warm to me. Almost looks like we were on the beach or something. And I LOVED her flower crown that she chose to wear with this simple white sundress.
Then she totally changed it up for her second look. Bringing jeans, a simple white tee, a flannel and a couple of different hats. I kept telling her I wished we were in a gungy alley for this look. :)
We stayed with the same outfit when we headed to another part of the arboretum. Even though it's the same outfit, we created a totally different feel for this set. It's amazing how different posing and expressions can make the same outfit look completely different.
And then for her final look, she went a little more dressy. I loved this look as well. I was amazed at how well she pulled off so many different looks. I don't think I can really pick a favorite.
And may I just say how jealous I am of those legs. If you have met me in person, you can understand my jealousy based on the length of my short little legs. :)
Thank you again Stephanie for allowing me the honor of creating your senior portraits for you. I loved working with you both on your senior project and your senior portraits. I hope you will love them for many years to come.
