I can’t believe how quickly this spring has flown by! It seems like I had my first senior portrait session a few weeks ago! In reality, NaTaryia, a senior from Fluvanna County High School, is one of my last session with the Class of 2015! What a way to end the season though, she is absolutely positively, drop dead gorgeous!! I know I always say this but I literally could have photographed her all day long.
NaTaryia suggested we have the session at the Darden School of business in Charlottesville, Va. I’d never had a session there before but it was such an amazing location! My husband joked that it was like a baby UVA and he was right. 🙂 Tons of columns, brickwork and beautiful landscaping all in one small area! The added benefit of it all being so close together, NaTaryia was able to change her outfit frequently, and thank goodness! She brought the BEST outfits with her! Seriously, every single one she brought was on point!
NaTaryia was voted FCHS’s Prom Queen so I suggested she bring her prom dress. I’m SO glad she did!! I have this thing where I love fancy dresses in unusual places and I had this vision of her wearing the dress, on top of a parking garage. It turned out better than I could have imagined!
I love the fact that NaTaryia brought along a t-shirt and baseball hat to represent the fact that she’ll be attending Old Dominion University in the fall. Couple that with her FCHS cap and gown and you’ve got a perfect graduation announcement!
I know I’m probably overloading this post but there were so many fabulous shots! I had the hardest time narrowing them down for her final gallery. It’s a little unfair really… beauty, brains (she wants to study psychology at ODU) and a great personality. She is so sweet and was such a delight to work with!
Thanks for a fantastic afternoon NaTaryia! Oh and a big thanks to her mother & sister for carrying around my changing room all afternoon!! Good luck at Old Dominion NaTaryia and enjoy the rest of your senior year!
