If I look back at my senior pictures from cough*ten years ago*cough, let me assure you they look nothing like this! I was stuck in a studio, the same one that another 15 girls from my class used, with a kinda creepy man directing me and making me feel all sorts of awkward. My final images are so dated and the outdoor ones have a bug on my forehead he wouldn’t edit out! Yep, lame and they are tucked away for a reason 😉 Now these, outside in a location that fits Hunter’s personality is what I wish I had. Gorgeous light, natural settings, outfits that aren’t dated, and no creepy guy behind the lens 😉

I love Hunter, years ago my sister and I alternated babysitting her and it was so FUN! She has truly grown into a gorgeous young woman who may make me feel slightly old but I couldn’t be prouder to have been a part of her start to senior year. We spent two hours walking along downtown Norfolk and I have to say the streets there during the week are so deserted! While I loved all her outfits, I just can’t deny that gold dress!!! I could have photographed her ALL night in that dress with the gorgeous light coming off the water. She looked like one of the Norfolk mermaids! I am so thankful to Hunter for letting me try something a little different at the end. The sun had COMPLETELY gone down, I mean it was nothing in the sky and some clouds but we stayed and played for another 30 minutes. It was fun to push myself and try more creative things!
