Scarlett showed up to her senior session with style, charm, and a plan, and I was here for all of it. We kicked things off in Lompoc with her cheer gear, her pup, and the books that got her through high school. But the real twist? A quick detour to Certain Sparks to shoot in a dimly lit music store. Not my usual setup, but totally worth it, those ended up being some of my favorite shots.

This girl’s got range. She pulled off playful and serious, sentimental and fierce, all in one afternoon. She also brought the best kind of energy: creative, laid-back, and unafraid to do something different.

Also? She knew who Molly Ringwald was. I dropped a Pretty in Pink reference and waited for the blank stare, but nope, Scarlett got it. That alone earns her bonus points in my book.

Every part of this session felt like her. That’s always the goal, seniors in a way that actually feels true to who they are right now. Scarlett nailed it.

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