If you've ever wondered how far I’ll go for a good shot, the answer is: far enough to nearly wipe out in front of a client. I slipped trying to get the perfect angle of Gianna, and honestly? Worth it.

Gianna “thought” she was awkward, but spoiler alert: she wasn’t. At all. Like most seniors, she underestimated just how magnetic she really is. The camera didn’t need convincing. From the very first frame, her natural beauty and quiet confidence came through in every shot.

Alice Keck Memorial Park gave us its usual mix of peaceful paths, blooming color, and just enough shade to make the light work magic. And Gianna? She showed up ready. No stiff poses, no fake smiles, just genuine moments that made the whole session feel easy.

Thank you, Gianna, for trusting me to capture this special time.
