The Last Celebration Together before Graduation

ana maria seniors

Writing this blog post is bittersweet. Last month, before graduation, I had my last photoshoot with my amazing 2018 senior team. As they all were ready to graduate and embark on the next journey ahead of them, we all got together for one last celebration. The photoshoot took place in downtown Medina at a cute studio space where we spent the afternoon eating lots of pizza and cotton candy! While not all the girls could make it, it was so much FUN to see these ladies and celebrate with them one last time! Thank you to all the vendors who helped in making this time so special!

Ladies, it has been a true honor spending this past year together and celebrating apart of senior year with you. I have loved getting to know all of you and feel so lucky that I was able to be your senior photographer. As you head off to college in the fall, my prayer is that you continue to chase after your dreams, grow into strong, beautiful women, and remain confident in who you are. Know that I will always be cheering you on and am so excited for you as you begin these new adventures! Here’s a few favorites from our shoot together!

Of course, we had to do some with college tees!

Love ya girls so much and Congrats to all of you!!

Becca | Artistic Sunset Senior Session | Cleveland, Ohio

Becca Kowalski – Class of 2018

I am So excited to share Becca’s senior session with  you all!! Becca attends Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy and dedicates her time to reading, art, and fashion. She is not only artistically talented, but strives to be a leader in her community.

At our styling consultation, Becca said she wanted to highlight her passions for reading and fashion in an artistic location. I knew the perfect location and am so excited we were able to go there. I love how downtown Cleveland gave us so many options and variety for her photos. We started at the Cleveland Public library, where we explored rooms and floors of books and read a few pages out of Alice and Wonderland. After the library, we explored a little downtown and then headed to the Cleveland Art Museum to capture the golden light of the sunset. I have to say that Becca’s pink tulle skirt complimented the beautiful building and marble stone stair case perfectly! Becca let her style and personality shine during this shoot and I am so excited to see where God directs her over these next few years. She has some amazing goals and I know she is going to do great things!

Here are some of my favorites from Becca’s artistic sunset session in downtown Cleveland.

It was an honor to photograph Rachel’s senior session at Sweet Water Farms in Ravenna, Ohio and share in this exciting time with her. Rachel is a senior at Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy and dedicates her time to her school work and running. Rachel is a very successful runner on both the cross country and track team. Being a former runner on the CVCA team, it has been extra special to get to know Rachel and capture her senior portraits. In addition to being involved with running throughout her high school career, she spends her time at the barn with her horse. Rachel wants to continue this passion through college in the pursuit of ‘Equine Veterinarian.’ I am confident that this is a wonderful profession for Rachel to pursue and am so excited to see where God directs her. Rachel is truly beautiful on the inside and out. She is not only going to do some amazing things her senior year, but she has a beautiful future ahead of her!

Here are some of my favorites from Rachel’s Golden Hour Senior Session at Sweet Water Farms.
