Late fall (just a couple weeks ago) I had the privilege of taking photos for this high school senior. Because of schedules we had to wait until late in the season, but she kept a wonderful attitude about standing outside in chilly weather. Since she is an artist I asked if she would bring her sketchbook. Since I am also an artist, I love some of the shots of her with that sketchbook. We were also able to take photos of her in front of a mural that she was a model for when she was a little girl. 

Photography can be hard work. (Yes, it really is much more than clicking a shutter.) But what a great experience to take these photos marking her transition from high school to college. And what a joy to spend time with her, and even to edit the photos. 

Just a few years ago I took photos of her older sister during her senior year. It is quite an opportunity to watch as a family grows up, and moves to new possibilities. 

Heartwarming, even.

Blessings to you sweet Hayley.

With appreciation from your photographer
