senior pictures are a big deal. and this is typically how it goes: mom calls a photographer and sets up a time. you spend time choosing outfits, planning your hair, and preparing for the day. you show up the day of, and meet a complete stranger. for the next hour, all eyes and a giant lens {or small lens in my case} are pointed at you. what a potentially terrifying experience… i remember not enjoying my senior picture session, the pictures were ok, but it seemed forced and uncomfortable, in the basement of the photographer’s home. {thankfully photography has changed since then}

i arrived at this shoot, and met a young lady with beautiful long blonde hair and the sweetest smile. she warmed up so fast and was so natural in front of the camera. we had a wonderful afternoon full of laughs and fun. i truly hope you can see her adorable personality in these shots.

thank you for trusting me {even when i asked you to stand in slimy water}. enjoy your senior year, love.
