Laura. A Senior Session. Greensboro, NC

Meet Laura. She came all the way from Nebraska to have me take her senior pictures! Ok, not really. She came to visit her brother, Steve, but I got to steal her one morning for a senior session in NC!

If you don't know Laura, you are missing out. She is so fun and full of life! We laughed and talked through the entire session, and she was fantastic in front of the camera. Which is perfect for someone on their way to being a great actor :)



Laura wanted to start shooting at a playground but the first one we visited was full of kids. We found this hidden playground only a couple of miles away and were the only people there. Score!





Laura can be silly...



...and she can be serious. Look at her amazing eyes!









I just love her fiery red hair :)





Laura does photography "for fun", she told me. So I brought some antique cameras to play with :)







This is one of my favorites... Her laugh is so great.













LOVE this. I think Laura looks like a model waiting for someone on the sidewalk.... gorgeous!







We had Steve jump in a for a few minutes for some sibling photos. I love how Laura is literally looking up to him in this first shot.



They really love each other :)













After we shot downtown for a while, we wanted to do something in a more nature-y (?) environment. You wouldn't believe this spot is right beside a huge intersection and in a business park!









Laura said she is almost constantly barefoot so we had to do some barefoot shots :)



Laura, I had such a great time with you and I can't wait to see you again in November!

Makenna. A Senior Session.

This is my sweet cousin, Makenna. And yes, I am totally loving doing all these shoots of people close to me. She is from Southern California and visits us in NC every summer. She is going to be a senior this fall and I thought this would be a perfect time to do her senior portraits! We met up with Carla to get all dolled up and started shooting right as the sun was going down. Perfect!

Doesn't she look fantastic?! The makeup perfectly complemented her outfits and her hair looked gorgeous!

I love all the little shops downtown! They make great backdrops :)

This is my favorite image. It was taken in the window of the Elsewhere Museum on Elm Street. The museum used to be an overcrowded thrift shop and is now open as a "working museum". You can look, touch, and play with everything! Believe me, it's a one-of-a-kind place and you need to check it out :)

I mean, seriously. How cool is this place?

Check out the back of Makenna's hair! Carla did an amazing job, as always.

I love that Makenna can totally work this outfit. Gorgeous!

In LOVE with this wall. It has so much character!

After a quick change, we stopped at a field for a more country look.

Makenna, you are so beautiful!

This always makes me want to go take a nap in the grass. Until I actually go outside and it's a hundred degrees and humid. Thankfully, it wasn't too hot during our session and Makenna was such a trooper!

LOVE seeing this smile :)

Makenna, you are so stinkin' beautiful. I totally loved hanging out with you in NC and I'm hoping to come visit you all on the West coast soon! xoxo
