If I were going to distill down what it is I love about capturing senior sessions, I'd come to: what's not to love? First of all, I can put all of my attention into capturing just one soul. Love that! Second, these sessions almost always get scheduled in summer/fall when the light is spectacular. Love that! Third, they're just flat out fun! We get to explore, take our time, go on mini adventures and transition to new clothes, new looks as we go. Love that! Yep. That pretty much sums it up! What's not to love?
Here's some images from my session with Andrea in late summer...
Am I biased to love our downtown? Maybe. But maybe not. If you've ever taken the time to explore all the nooks and crannies (and believe me, I have!) I think you would agree that's its a pretty awesome space. I LOVE photographing sessions downtown. There is endless variety for backdrops, spaces I haven't shot in before, and the vibe is pretty great too.
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of capturing some images of this amazing family downtown. In my opinion it was a prime spot for them cause they own a little piece of this space, so it's kinda like their living room or back yard. Ya know?
I've been privileged to know this lovely soul for a few years now and it was my joy to capture some images for her a few weeks back. This was a new location for me, but I ended up really liking it!! I love getting to explore new spaces and create beautiful images with beautiful souls...it's pretty much the best.
Lately I've been feeling this little niggle in my gut about the speed at which time is flying past me. There are a few reasons for this in my own life, and honestly some of them are pretty big and kinda weighty. But the heaviness aside, I think we're all trying to slow down time to some degree. One of the best and most surefire ways to do this? Photos. Yep. It's cliche and also true. Aside from our memories (which can be funny squirrly little things) photos are what we've got.
That said, I was very happy to freeze time for this wonderful family. Photos of the ones we love more than anything are worth a lot. A whole lot.
Senior sessions are in full swing over here, and I love it! This beauty has an extra special place in my heart, so it was double fun to catch some light with her. Congratulations Eliana!! Hope you have a fantastic senior year!
