Madelyn’s Spring Senior Session in Downtown Fredericksburg Hope Taylor Seniors

Senior Sessions

I had been looking forward to this senior session for SO LONG! Maddie reached out to me about wanting to travel into town to capture her senior portraits here in Fredericksburg. She lived over two hours away in a small town AND she was a photographer herself. Talk about feeling HONORED to be chosen to capture these memories for her!!! As we lead up to the day of her session, we chatted about outfits and locations and how much fun we were going to have at her shoot. And it couldn’t have been a better day!!!

Maddie’s sweet dad came with her to her session and helped carry bags, hold outfit options, cheer her on and take behind-the-scenes pictures. It was seriously just SO much fun! We explored some of my favorite Fredericksburg locations and talked all about how Maddie got started in photography and what her plans were for her future. She is such a bright light and her story reminds me so much of my own!! I’m so proud of her and it was truly such a privilege to be her senior photographer!!

Maddie, I enjoyed our time together so much and I hope you love some of my favorite images here as much as I do!!!
