FAVORITES OF 2015: SENIOR SESSIONS #classof2015 AND #classof2016

This is one of 2 final favorites posts, and one that is so important to me…because most of these?? These are my kids!! (mostly) Kids that I have taught, and gotten to know, and directed…some who I have watched grow up since they were quite a bit younger, and some who I have gotten to know recently.  But all young adults (I sound ancient there!) who are such impressive people and who are going to go on to such amazing things!!   I am so proud of these 15 seniors, and absolutely love this part of my job!!! There is definitely a belief in the photography world that photographers should specialize in one area.   And for me overall, that area would be weddings- but I cannot see myself ever giving up these senior sessions. I just absolutely adore them, the time with the kids, and capturing such a fun and unique time in their lives! I didn’t get this as a senior, and that was hard for me- I am so honored to give these to these families! Some of these were minis and some full sessions- but all such important faces to my heart!

    Jill you’re such an amazing photographer. To say the least it was almost impossible to pick one picture of Taylor that I liked the best of her for the picture I got because they were all amazing.
