Creating a shoot around the true essence of the senior client is a great way to make sure you are customizing the session to each senior client.  In this beautiful session below, by Alison Garey of Ali Ann Photography, the senior’s true hippie bubbly free spirit shines through each of the photos.

“Even though we were shooting in 90 degree weather with a heat index of 100, Haley was a real trooper and never let the heat get to her, ” said Alison.
