I’ve hit that stage in my photography business where I’m photographing seniors I’ve known since they were little, like tiny, can-barely-see-over-the-desk little. It makes me feel a bit old, but I honestly love it. Watching these kids grow into such cool young adults is one of the best parts of what I do. Bella is one of those. I remember her as this sweet elementary school girl, and now here she is, a senior, ready to take on the world.

Like most seniors, Bella started out a bit nervous in front of the camera, but once we got going, she totally found her groove. She nailed so many shots and even threw in a few funny faces, which I absolutely love. If we’re giggling during the session, I consider that a win. Bella, it was so great to see you bloom into this wonderful young woman, and I’m so glad I got to capture this moment for you. Congrats!
