Photographing seniors is quickly becoming one of my favorites.  It is so cool spending time with these young women, full of energy and optimism, and Jessie was no exception.  There are a ton of things that made this session awesome (um cotton candy sunset, vintage VW van?), but first let’s talk about those big brown eyes. As a fellow brown eyed lady I can’t help but have a little bias there, but seriously how gorgeous are they? Second, she spotted some pretty awesome walls and colors that really fit her personality and that I totally love.  AND she let me drag her into possibly the grossest muck, filled with all kinds of creatures, without a single complaint, which makes her the best.

I met Hope this past week to commemorate one of the bigger events in any ladies life, the end of traditional schooling and her entrance into the “real” world (I hate that term, I mean what kind of world is it if it’s not always real? But you get the point). I drug her literally through waves and bugs for her session (real world prep, right?) and she was the absolute best sport. She is not only beautiful externally, but she has a sweet, intelligent soul and it’s very clear that whatever she decides to do she will excel at it, and I wish her nothing but the best.

I loved exploring DC with Sydney this past weekend for her senior session. I may have grown up in the area but the locations Sydney picked reminded me of just how cool DC can be. She is such a sweet heart (and a major trooper, rocking high heels and a dress while I shivered in my winter coat!) and we were rewarded with not only a gorgeous sunset but an amazing view of the super moon as well. Here are a few favorites!
