2016 Senior

This past week I had a session with high school senior, Mackenzie, who just graduated. The session kept getting rescheduled due to the threat of rain, so we were so happy when the weather finally cooperated! 

She wore a gorgeous prom gown, which really sparkled in the evening light. I love all the rhinestones! It took a couple of minutes for her to relax, but after we tied her up in tulle and played with balloons, she smiled more easily. 

I love this shot of her peeking through the balloons, it's so much fun!

There was a bit of a breeze, so the balloons did blow around a bit, but we still managed to get some nice shots in between the gusts. 

We played around with the wildflowers, the evening light highlighting her hair, which was beautifully curled for the session. 

After the field we moved on to a metal bridge. We had to stop several times because the bridge is apparently very popular in the evening and there was a lot of foot traffic and people walking dogs. 

Though she started out uptight, she smiled easily, and I loved capturing her expressions. 

The back of the dress was also covered in glittering rhinestones, so we made sure to have her turn to show it off. 

After a quick change we went to the long grasses and had some fun goofing around.

I decided to throw in a black and white, which ended up being her favorite shot from the whole session. 

I love the golden glow as the sun sinks low in the sky. 

And as we let her kick off her fancy shoes and head for the cars, she gave me this awesome "I'm DONE!" look. I love it!
