If I had to pick a few words to describe Anna, it would include words like “happy, smiley, joyful, playful, perky, upbeat, cheerful” and she is always “laughing”.   When I first met her, I knew it would be easy to capture her personality in photos, because I related to her so easily.  She had such great energy and we just seemed to connect.

Anna . . . Your fun personality attracts people to you.  Your smile makes people feel comfortable around you.  And most importantly, your laugh is infectious to those around you.  Thank you for sitting, standing, swinging, squatting, climbing, hugging steel cables & lampposts, walking down 100+ stairs, balancing yourself on a one foot ledge, rocking out your high heels, and changing clothes in the car (ha ha).  Simply put, “thank you” for being so amazing on the photo shoot.   Here are a few of my favorites from the first part of our shoot.   I will start off with a photo of Anna smiling.

Very quickly, I realized that I also like images with Anna not smiling.  It draws the attention to another beautiful feature, her eyes.

Fun smiling photo . . .

Fresh fierce photo . . .

I just love these photos of Anna laughing & smiling.

I wanted to blog this image because I just really like the way Anna was fixing her bangs.

Who doesn’t like to swing on a playground during a photo shoot . . . ha ha.

I usually never photograph indoors during a Senior Shoot, but this green leather ottoman was just so awesome.

This cast iron bench at a local Antique store had a lot of character with the rust spots and paint peeling.   I love finding cool things like this to use as props during a photo shoot.

Mocha & I went riding around and scouted for locations the weekend before Anna’s photo shoot.  I saw this wall, which was covered in ivy, and I got so very excited.  I knew I would have to take some pics of Anna here.

The photo on the right is my favorite of the two.  Anna was laughing at her Mom.

Anna rocked out some heels for this part of the shoot.  You go girl!  LOL.

Here are two of my favorite images I shared in the “preview” blog post . . .

I always keep candid photos like this because I love my clients to remember the fun we had.  Usually I am the funny one, but here Anna is laughing at her Mom again.  Thanks Susie for being the entertainment.  You really know how to bring out the best of Anna.

Ending  part one on this image because Anna’s eyes are just so beautiful.

Part two coming this week also. Shoes, a yellow dress and really cool earrings will be included.
