SENIOR SESSION: Maddie

I told her that I thought she might have been born in the wrong era! 

By golly, she works in a RECORD shop...

as in, real RECORDS...

not CDs, cassette tapes, or itunes/apple store...

like, the plastic discs that go round and round and emit sound with the settling of the needle...

She's a "weekend vibes" kind of gal...

and I loved every minute with her...

I should have known I was in for a treat when she not only requested pictures in the record store, but she also wanted to take me to a waterfall...which required some climbing and jumping through water...

I'm always up for adventure, but it's not just that for her...

these locations were personal to her...they were places where she has been able to connect and soak in deeply the far corners of WHO she is...they are her safe places...where she feels "at home"...

We even ended AT her HOME with another request, to be photographed with her cat...

These are the types of Senior Sessions that I strive for...it's a capturing of a PERSON and not just a picture taking time...It's taken nearly 18 years to get to the edge of journey and ready to step out on their own...The culmination of these years have developed and molded them into the adult they are setting out to be...To be able to encapsulate those traits, and character qualities...

it's fulfilling and worthwhile...

and if I might add...

incredibly FUN!
