Catherine is a stunning high school senior – she inherited her dad’s red hair and freckles and her mom’s outgoing personality. We had a fun afternoon trying different locations and wardrobe options for her senior portrait session in August. Here are just a few images from her session:

Celebrity look-alike? A little Sophia Loren (especially in the image above), and maybe a little Julia Roberts…at least the hair and eye color?

Catherine is also a budding photographer and with the help of her advisor, she has designed her own ELO (extended learning opportunity) at school so she can learn more about it. All on top of a heavy senior year course load – pretty ambitious!

We found this great spot that had so many different textures and colors – I was in heaven…and who says redheads can’t wear pink?

Last two images – the one on the right was the last image of the day and it’s my absolute FAVORITE from this session…maybe even of this year!

Thank you to Catherine (and her patient mom) for allowing me to try all my crazy ideas! I hope you have a fantastic senior year (and I hope you get that camera you were telling me about)!

Hi blog readers!

It has been a very busy fall and early winter for me…I can’t believe I haven’t blogged any sessions since opening Love Grows Photography Studio!

Therefore, I’m spending some time catching up and will be featuring high school senior portrait sessions from this fall…first up is Bailey! I had a hard time with her name because my dog’s name is Bailey and I couldn’t quite get used to a human being with the same moniker. So, I kept calling her Brittany…she got used to it…eventually! Thank you, Bailey, for being so understanding!

Bailey is also interested in art and photography and has spent some time learning about both traditional and digital photography at her school. I loved her unique style, and she had the most beautiful skin and eyes…

I always try to figure out what celebrity people most look like. For Bailey, I’m getting Audrey Hepburn meets Gwen Stefani…

We did some studio shots as well. Loving the brick background – just one of the things that attracted me to our studio space!

She looked even prettier with her hair down…and I LOVE the gradation of color! This was Mom’s fave…and a large print of this gorgeous image is now hanging on her wall at home.

The afternoon light was amazing…the one on the left is my fave…

Thank you, Brittany Bailey for choosing me to take your senior portraits! I wish you great success after graduation from high school in 2012!
