If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when a girl’s personality perfectly matches her photos — meet Taylor. From the moment we arrived at Lake Monticello, this girl was glowing. Bubbly, laughing, completely in her element — and honestly, that smile says it all.
We set up out in the most gorgeous open field, surrounded by trees dressed in the most beautiful rusty oranges, warm browns, and hints of green. It was one of those backdrops that just feels like a painting. And then Taylor showed up in that blue and white floral dress — barefoot, carefree, and completely herself — and everything just came together. We even brought along a stool, and she worked it like a natural.
What I love most about sessions like this one is when a senior just lets loose and has fun. Taylor had the most effortless, genuine presence in front of the camera. That laugh, that smile — completely real, completely her. No stiff posing here. Just a beautiful girl, a stunning setting, and the best energy.
My editing style is all about rich, vibrant color — and Lake Monticello delivered everything I needed. The warm golden tones of the field, the rusty trees in the background, the crisp blues of her florals — I wanted every single image to feel alive and full of personality. Just like Taylor.
Taylor, it was such a joy spending time with you. You are going to absolutely own your senior year, and I cannot wait to see everything ahead for you. 🎉
 
Let's work together.
