Most of you see that I offer high school senior photography on my menu of services…  but because you all have kept me so busy with newborn, children and family photography, I don’t get to dive into this side of things NEARLY as much as I want to.  But I can’t let go of it – purely for the awesome feeling that I get when I get to work with these full-of-life young people.   And this current high school junior and soon-to-be senior in the graduating class of 2014 reminded me why.

From the minute I met her – she just exuded this energy that was incredibly contagious.    It was so refreshing to meet a young adult like her and see that there’s hope in our next generation. She shook my hand … looked me in the eye when she talked to me … asked questions and answered mine with confidence …  skipped around … told jokes…  I felt like I could be permanently energized if I hung out with her long enough. And not only is her personality and character amazing… she is an absolutely STUNNING girl.

We decided  to shoot in the Cleveland Metroparks as she is an outdoorsy girl and we wanted to represent that!  I had the most perfect night to photograph, with the most perfect person to work with.  Meet this awesome girl… who has inspired me to laugh about everything, smile at everyone and love life.  She’s awesome.

This shot kind of happened by accident.  She was trying to balance herself on this log – and as she concentrated on getting her pose – she gave off this amazing chic look that literally jumped off my screen when it landed there. I love this.

Mid-shoot – you could tell that she was really settling into this photo session thing and having fun and feeling beautiful.  It was fun to watch, and even more amazing to capture…

Thank you so much for an amazing session, Blythe!  (and for getting in the water… this is why you are awesome!) Loved meeting you and your amazing family.  Wishing you nothing but success and all of the happiness that you already possess in all that’s to come in your future.  Thanks for giving me an opportunity to meet you – I’ll hopefully take a little bit of your energy with me everywhere.  Until next time…
