senior portraits (round one!)

Hi y'all! Oh my goodness. I received my disk of senior portraits in the mail yesterday, and I am beyond ecstatic about them. Miss Kayleigh did an amazing job on them. There are almost 60 that she sent over, but I picked 12 of my 24 favorites to share with you today! I'm struggling to feel okay posting even just 12 of them...so many pictures of me! haha. Borderline awkward, but whatever, right? You're only a senior once, better live it up...or something like that. Kayleigh, thank you soooo much for the amazing job you did! You captured my personality so well, I can't even handle it. Bunches of hugs to you! (and you sweet family for tagging along too!)

So, tell me what y'all think? Which one(s) are your favorites? I am in love with the bottom left hand one - the suitcases, my boots...grandpa's camera. Absolutely wonderful. I love the tops ones too...and the yellow chair...and. Okay. I really can't pick a favorite, who are we kidding!!

xoxo, Ruthanne

country girl + senior portraits.

 if you haven't figured it out yet, I consider myself a 'country girl'....not because I'm from the south, because obviously I'm not...but because it's not too far from the truth. I may have grown up in the mountains, but what you see above is just 20 minutes from my house. and man is it gorgeous. 

we have dirt roads. lakes. rivers. cows. ranches. cowboy boots. jeans and plaid. we're a true western town, if you ask me...heck. we were a railroad city back in the day. anyway.

I'm getting my senior portraits done here (a little further down the road, but it looks the same) and I need some ideas for outfits. I want to do one classic vintage outfit, jeans and my cowgirl boots + some blouse, and then one more. ideas? if you feel so inclined...tweet me a polyvore or pinterest link...I need all the help I can get.
