went through these images and was thinking about what I wanted to write about Julia, a ton of memories came back to be from the past two and half years! Julia has always been the sweet, soft spoken one of out of her group of friends at church. The last several years I’ve had the chance to get to know her and I have to say that I have honestly NEVER seen a negative side of Julia. I’m serious!! Even on mission trips and retreats when everyone is lacking in sleep and energy… I’ve ever experienced a “cranky” Julia. Julia has such a peaceful, loving personality
that makes everyone around her feel welcome and after seeing her friendships grow over the last few years, I have come to realize that Julia is the type of friend that everyone would love to have. She’s patient, loving and she cares so deeply for her friends. I love that about her. :) I also love that she’s artsy and totally her own person!! Taking her senior portraits last week was a piece of cake because not only is she a beautiful person on the inside, she’s GORGEOUS on the outside!! During our time together we experienced some crazy things… like almost falling in the James River with my camera bag and sliding down rocks. It was definitely an adventurous senior session but so worth the effort! I can’t wait for you to see some of my favorites!! Enjoy!!
Julia, I love ya girl!! So thankful you’re not going too far away next year! I’m so proud of you and so thankful to call to you a friend!! xoxoxo
Oh ok! Hellllo model face!!
Julia you’re beautiful!!
Gorgeous!!
And this is about the time I almost fell in the river… NBD.
Thanks for reading!
