I’ve photographed seniors all over Oklahoma City. After twelve years in business, the one question I hear more than anything is this: “Missy, where should we take my senior pictures?” Fair question. Your location really does set the tone for everything. It shapes the look, the feel, and how your photos come across before you […]

When I was a high school senior, the photo “experience” looked a little something like this: a trip to Olan Mills, three pull down backdrops to choose from (blue, gray, or a scenic river scene that I’m pretty sure was painted in 1987), and 30 minutes under hot studio lights pretending I had never moved […]

If you were in high school in the late ’90s or early 2000s, you probably remember the slow-motion “walking across the stage” scenes in every teen movie — She’s All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, even American Pie. (Yes, I went there.) Cap and gown photos capture that big-screen feeling for your senior, only polished and genuinely them. […]

Why is online photo backup important? Well, story time. About fifteen-ish years ago, my family faced a devastating fire in our 1920’s home. It started in the walls between my sister’s and younger brother’s bedrooms—likely from an electrical wire/rodent combo. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely. The firemen came in with care, trying their best to […]

Tucked into the heart of downtown, the Oklahoma City Farmers Market is more than just a weekend stop—it’s a piece of the city’s history.
