Kayla: Class of 2020

Kayla!

It was just so lovely to meet you. Thank you for waking up at the crack of dawn to take your photos! I was driving toward Minneapolis at 5:45am and it started raining on my drive there. I remember thinking…. great!! But I saw the smallest patch of blue sky and I held onto hope… and I’m so glad I did.

I admire so much how you have a goal of going into pediatric oncology! Kindness, intelligence, others-centeredness, empathy… that’s what I see in you. (+ so much more.) It’ll be exciting to see you chase after your goals and shape the communities you enter.

You are also such a strong and resilient human, and an amazing listener and friend. And you have such a gorgeous, photogenic smile. Also, your HAIR. I am obsessed. It is so pretty!

Thank you so much for letting me take your senior pictures! I loved meeting you. You made a cloudy, misty VERY early morning in Minneapolis bright and fun :)

Enjoy your senior year and keep spreading your positivity everywhere you go. Your smile lights up the room!

Kayla: Class of 2018

Kayla is one of the most cheerful and vivaciously bubbly humans I have ever met!! She is rarely not smiling or laughing! She is one of those individuals who is like an instant ray of sunshine when she walks in the room -- total day brightener whose smile is contagious! Her presence is a blessing to say the least :) I always aim to capture raw and true emotion in my photos, and because Kayla is naturally upbeat and smiley, this was quite easy to do! 

This is definitely my new favorite senior session that I've ever shot, for a variety of reasons! The first time we had Kayla's photos scheduled, we got rained out, which was a huge bummer at first. However, Kayla had the jackpot for weather when we rescheduled! It was overcast for part of the time and bright and sunny for the second part of the shoot. Because of this, we got the benefits of both... photos with rich tones and details from the overcast lighting, and bright and vibrant photos from when it was sunny. Best of both worlds! PLUS... Kayla was my very first senior session with my brand new camera and lens that I had gotten that morning!! I couldn't have asked for a more awesome, genuine, and remarkably stunning senior to use my new camera on :)

Kayla, thank you again for letting me capture your beauty - you are just darling! I had SO much fun hanging out with you for the evening. You're an incredible human and I am pumped to see what you decide to do next year!!
