Congratulations to an amazing graduate!

Senior portraits. Maybe my favorite kind of photography. And this is one of my favorite girls. I could gush for pages - I've thought so much of her ever since she was a sweet third grader with a backpack full of rocks and silly bands, sharing her treasures (and her lunch) with my kids and anyone else she thought they would help.

I can't really believe she just graduated, but time has marched on since these days and she obviously has grown up so beautifully.

 
But she's not just gorgeous. She will always stand up for someone who needs it. She's still generous. And she's crazy smart. Like, smart enough to win city-wide spelling bees in middle school without studying.

And I remember the day when she went down the waterslides at the pool something like 83 times, racing my little daughter, just to make her happy. Who does that???

And, we went out with the camera a few times. Obviously I had a hard time narrowing my blog post down to just a few favorites.

The cap and gown! What a great day.

I can't wait to see where this amazing girl goes next!

If you have a high school senior or are a high school senior, I'd love to chat with you and discuss how to make your senior portraits the best they can be! We can meet in person or talk on the phone, or you can email me.

If you like the locations we used for these senior portraits, you can see these and many more ideas here.
