olivia // senior portraits

June 1, 2012

It was pouring the day of her shoot. I texted her, Want to reschedule? I'm totally up for shooting today, just let me know. I waited, checked the forecast, checked the forecast again, and my phone buzzed. Let's do it! She said. So we did.

I prayed all day. That the clouds would clear, that it would stop raining, and that we would find somewhere dry to shoot at. Our original location ideas had been discarded, and I was searching for a spot that would fit her eclectic and artsy style, while still giving her shoot an edge of classiness. We met in the parking lot of Dunn Bros and spent a couple hours shooting in, and on the property.

And, oh yeah, it was sunny. We laughed and chatted and I made some images I'm really proud of. Olivia, come visit again soon, okay?

    wait, so did you get a new lens along with your camera or have you had the 1.4 for a while?

  34. Wow Hannah, I am completely serious, you. are. amazing. These photos expressed originality, creativity, and beauty. If I had to pick favorites, I would go with the very first one, the one of her looking through the window, and the first one of her in braids on the tree branch. These are so incredible, and you have an amazing gift from God. So Hannah, keep shooting, no matter what happens.
