4 Fun seniors and a sassy junior..

I started this post quite a while ago, just have not had a chance to finish it up. Even though many people saw these and commented on facebook, I still wanted to eventually do a blog post. I had the best time photographing some beautiful young ladies a week before 4 of them graduated from high school back in June. Now they are off to college and the perfect time to share them with you. I have wanted to photograph high school seniors for quite a while and have to say, it was even better than I thought it would be. I thought seniors would be easy. I mean, after all, I could probably relate to them, it is not like I am THAT much older than them, right?! It did not occur to me until the night before the shoot that they were born the year I started my Senior Year of high school. They did tell me though, that with the right clothes, I could possibly still pass for a high school student..thanks girls!

These girls seemed so much more mature than my friends and I were at that age. It was actually quite fun getting a glimpse into their lives for a few hours. I did not want to sound like a typical mom by offering the same words of wisdom that I know I would never have listened to at the age. So instead, I offered them this..to know that 15 years from now, they could look up that cute boy on facebook who was not so nice to them and find that women age much better than men!

What struck me most about each of these young women, is how different they were. Yet, despite their differences in music, clothing and personalities, they were still great friends.  In the almost three hours I spent with them all I was able to really get such a sense of who they are and think that the photos really reflect that.

Maureen, Sam, Brittney & Lindsey…Good luck with the next phase of your life. Stephanie, I can’t wait to take more photos of you. And don’t worry, your senior year will be over before you know it!
