I loved Lauren’s dramatic flair! She has such a fun personality and her style really comes out in her images. From playful and flirty to bold and serious, she has so many fun sides to her personality!

What do you want this session to convey about this senior and about your senior photography style?
Every Senior I shoot brings her own style and personality to the table. I try to be open to letting their personalities influence how and where we shoot, so that each session is truly a reflection of who they are in this season of their life. I want them to look back and remember not only how good they looked but how amazing they felt as well!

What is one tip you can share with other photographers regarding photographing seniors?
Let your Seniors have a voice in planing their shoot! Some times their ideas can help you push your boundaries and teach you new ways of seeing things.
