Ashley's Senior Session

Amazing. Fantastic. Gorgeous. Beautiful. I run out of wonderful words to describe this young woman!

We shot until the sun was almost down and honestly, I could have kept shooting until my trigger finger got numb and I just fell down in a happy stupor. Ashley has incredible talent in front of the camera, and she's more than willing to try interesting, unique poses which always lends itself to a great session. Climbing trees? No problem! Her mom, Robin, was also such a joy to work with... so helpful and supportive. We had a great time traipsing around in the giant field and finding exciting locations to shoot. I was very pleased by the variety of "looks" we achieved in just one shoot.

Introducing animals into a photo session always adds a little bit of unexpected excitement... animals, unlike humans, do not "pose" and so you've really got to be on the ball as the photog. Quick reflexes and knowing your camera are a must because you never know exactly what the animal will do next... it might be fantastic or it might be a disaster. Our little birdie was so cute but I kept worrying that it would poop in Ashley's hands LOL! It also wanted to try and fly away so Ashley had to be sure to cup it just right in her hands.

Notice: no animals were harmed in the making of these images :)
