Whenever I get a new inquiry for a High School Senior, my heart literally skips a beat. Something about this genre of photography truly makes my heart sing with joy. This is where I’m meant to be as a photographer. I love the chance to give every girl an opportunity to feel on top of the world, as she should.
Meet Liz, who was one of my 2011 Seniors. We collaborated so well together from the start. Her personality shined through from the beginning and stayed strong till the end. There is always laughter, happiness and a really relaxed vibe during my shoots. I strive to somehow portray this into my style of shooting. I love the mixture of the different settings we were able to capture. Each one helped showcase her different styles to the fullest. Girls these days are so versatile and extremely fashionable! I don’t know about you, but I was quite awkward at this age ;)
I would have given anything to have these types of moments. Moments that make me remember to feel good about myself JUST the way I am. All of my girls are always themselves when it comes down to their own clothes, make up and hair. Everything is them and nothing is embellished. I want to make sure every girl leaves our session with a feeling of floating on the clouds :) That’s how I always feel after my shoots with these fabulous Seniors!
