This senior photography session is very special to me. I've known Kayla's mother since she was in third grade and we even grew up together! We went to different high schools but reunited after I finished grad-school and was working again.
At the time I was trying to figure out my future plans and toying around with the idea of starting my own photography business. I wasn't sure at the time where to start and that's when I ran into Kayla's mom, Lauren, again! Lauren had recently started her own photography business and she was able to point me to resources. She was also one of my biggest supporters from the very beginning!
When I met Kayla she was nine years old and I've had the joy of seeing her grow up over the past nine years! I blinked and Kayla went from being a little girl to graduating high school. I'm so glad I got to be the one to capture it!
Lauren was there at the beginning of my photography business and now I got to share this milestone with her and her family!
We split Kayla's senior photography session into two parts, the first was at Leesylvania Park in Woodbridge Virginia. We photographed some in the woods and I got some great pictures on the beach and some on those fun rocks by the water that I love so much!
It was a fun day - the weather was beautiful and sunny. It did get a bit chilly towards the end but Kayla was a trooper and didn't complain about the wind or the chill. I recommended three outfits for her, a fun casual outfit and two cute little dresses. I wanted to highlight her personality with the outfit choices!
The second part of Kayla's senior photography session was a couple of weeks later. Kayla's cap and gown had finally arrived so we met in downtown Fredericksburg to get some city photos. The city portion of the session was much warmer so Kayla did have to freeze! Seeing Kayla in her cap and gown made this moment finally feel so real!!
I feel so blessed to have had the chance to capture this special milestone for Kayla. It was also great to catch up with Lauren as well as her family celebrates their high school senior!
