Senior Sessions

When I opened up senior dates this year, something happened that I wasn’t expecting…I got an influx of COLLEGE senior inquiries!!! Typically, I specialize in local high school seniors, but I was regularly getting emails asking if I offered the same experience for college graduates. I had done a handful of college seniors in the past and absolutely LOVED it, so everyone got a resounding “YES!”. Jacqueline is one of those sweet girls! She was a senior at University of Mary Washington here in downtown Fredericksburg (just blocks from my house!) and she was finishing NURSING school!! AMAZING. She was even so flexible when I asked her to switch dates because I was going to be in Charleston on her original session date. She truly was just the sweetest!!!

When we met to begin her shoot, I swear we could’ve talked for hours!! We had to stop mid-convo to actually go to our first shooting location, hahaha! We have so much in common and I’m just so grateful we crossed paths. I feel so lucky that I was able to capture these portraits for her!

Congratulations on all of your achievements, Jacqueline! SO proud of you!!!
