Masquerade | Stylized Portrait Session

This was a fun project! Laura from Lemondrop Designery came up with the idea, and we met up at a forest preserve around sunrise (though we didn't get much sun :-) and had a great time being princess-y with our model, Melody, who happens to be a ballerina. Crazy purple dress + ballerina model + mask + fall colors = a pretty amazing morning!

Enjoy the photos!

Gretel | Senior Portraits

Today I'm sharing some of my very favorite pictures I've ever taken. :-) I've been looking forward to shooting Gretel's senior portraits ever since we first talked about it months ago, because I knew two things: 1. Gretel is lovely (duh), and 2. there would be ballet involved. Recipe for success! And it didn't disappoint. After considerable scoping out of locations online, we set out for a morning of portraits and I am thrilled with the results! Ballerinas just might be my new favorite. Enjoy!

I love her laugh!

I also need to bring her mom along to all my sessions. ;-)
