Kristen is a lovely, talented girl… She plays both the piano and the cello, but thought it might be a bit hard to pose with a cello, so she left that at home. 🙂  I would have loved to hear her play! We definitely made good use of the  fall day. Gorgeous light, vibrant colors and a crisp autumn breeze… combined with a beautiful girl = Success!
This girl just blows me away… Piercing blue eyes, luscious waist-length hair, a gorgeous smile and model-esque serious look. And yet there is so much more to Shanea than meets the eye. Her mom told me with pride and a touch of awe, “my daughter is a very strong girl.”
“Daddy, remembering you is easy, I do it every day…” reads her tattoo in remembrance of her father. The lovely fall day made for a great shoot, and it was so special to be a part of this precious mother/daughter bonding experience!
This girl was an absolute delight to work with – laid back, calm, easy-going…  Plus a great sense of humor, cute giggle and gorgeous smile. She has a certain sparkle about her that made me feel drawn to her. Oh, and a side note – her hair is the perfect “run your fingers through me” type… so we did. 🙂
This guy is all about his guitars… even has them named! I had a great time getting to know PJ (and “Bumblebee,” lol). PJ switched over from homeschooling to public school this year and has no complaints, except they won’t let him wear his bandana. 🙂  Sometimes during a senior shoot, there is a special magic moment when I can capture my subject doing something they love – they relax, their guard goes down, and just for a moment there is this absolute connection. When I told PJ to start playing, the “moment” happened…
Mariah just bubbles over with charm and personality… she was very comfortable being herself in front of the camera which made my job almost effortless! A successful shoot at The Loft is when we can get our subject to open up and let us see the real “them.” We value that connection with our clients more than anything. My favorite Mariah quote from the session – “Oh! I love this dress!” I said (referring to the multi-colored striped dress). “Thanks! Me too. And just WAIT until you see the shoes…”  🙂
