days when I wish I could offer portraits again! I only offer portraits to friends and family because our time is so dominated by our weddings. We LOVE our wedding clients and that is definitely where our heart is but I do LOVE shooting senior portraits for our kids from church! It’s just FUN! I love my time with them and it’s especially fun to photograph the girls! I mean really, what teenage girl doesn’t love modeling for 2 hours?! Tori and her mom walked the campus of St. Catherines School last week and had a blast!
We spent the first part of the session wishing away the rain and clouds and we lucked out! The rain held off and Tori now has some bright, colorful senior portraits! She’s such a sweetheart and I’m so thankful for the time I’ve had with her this year. I’m hoping that we have even more small group time together this summer before she slips away to college. I still can’t believe it’s almost time for her to leave!! When Michael and I first moved to Richmond, she seemed so young!! And now she’s Radford bound! :) We’re going to miss her! Enjoy some of her senior portraits and let me just say…. Tori found an amazing teal wall in Carytown that I WILL be using again one day! It’s just gorgeous! Wait til you see it!
Tori you’re so cute!!
Love it! 
How beautiful is that TEAL?! yesss!!
Look at those eyes!!
Thanks for reading!
