We’ve been privileged over recent years to work with the clients that we’ve worked with.  But every now and again, that privilege seems like it’s printed in a bold font.  In other words, we’re humbled and especially blessed by the folks that cross our paths.  So was the case with Kaitlyn and her family several days ago.

We absolutely love high school seniors, for their spunk, their willingness to hang it out there an be different, and their excitement over the little things we take for granted.  And every once in a blue moon we get to photograph a senior who is coming a long way for us to do our thing.  That extra effort they put forth in getting here helps us to realize even more how much they value this time in their lives….no pressure, right!

Kaitlyn and her family came all the way from Missouri.  We’ve never been to Missouri, but if Kaitlyn and her family are good representatives of their state, we’d love to go.  She was genuinely happy to be here and her spirit was contagious.  We hope you enjoy this sampling of her session.  She’s a beauty inside and out!

About six months ago we photographed Kara, if you remember.  This weekend we were honored to photograph Megan, Kara’s sister.  The north end of Tybee was blazing hot about an hour before Megan’s session began.  But the continually drooping sun gave into relief which eventually transformed into comfortable bliss that only comes with those evening strolls on the beach.  We loved shooting Megan because she reminded us of many fun things that are often associated with being a Senior:  a carefree spirit, a keen sense of humor, and a certain “lightness” that is naturally present at this time in all of our lives.  We hope that those things are reflected by these teasers from Megan’s Saturday evening portrait session:

When asked about what she wanted to remember from her high school senior year, Kara answered: “I want to remember how happy and determined I was in high school. How I was (am) so excited about my life, and my passion for giving to others and “paying it forward.” This answer became an inspiration for her high school senior portrait session that we photographed yesterday. We really tried to make sure we incorporated quite a bit of light into these photographs to represent Kara’s “paying it forward” principle, because by doing so, she does bring the light into the world she is a part of. Her entire presence radiates kindness. Kara, thank you for letting us become a part of your high school senior experience!
