I hope you are ready for some fantastic senior photographs because I’ve got some coming your way this morning! Lizzie’s senior session in Fayetteville was SO. MUCH. FUN. I’ve been dying to share these beauties and I’m so thrilled the day has finally come!
Lizzie was my very last senior for the Class of 2016 (see my first senior for the Class of 2016 – Kaela – here!) and she totally made my year go out with a bang. Lizzie is so much fun to be around and, best of all, she’s basically always laughing. I am a total laugher – is that even a word? – and make a fool out of myself at sessions all of the time and, basically, photographing Lizzie was a dream. I’m so glad I got to know this wonderful girl before she jets off to college!
So! Let’s get started! For our first location for Lizzie’s senior photographs, we headed to my favorite parking garage in all of Northwest Arkansas.
Story Time! We had to work crazy hard for the photographs taken inside of the escalator. The sun was crazy bright and, because of this, we ended up shooting these in the lowest level of the parking garage. And at one point? We lost Lizzie!! The doors closed on us and she totally rode the elevator to the top of the building and then back down. Her mom and I laughed real hard and Lizzie did, too. There’s never a dull moment at my senior sessions! So glad I get to photograph such fun seniors!
And also? Worth it! I die over the horizontal photograph of Lizzie in the elevator. #allthehearteyes
After taking photographs of Lizzie in the parking garage, we headed to Lake Fayetteville. We wanted these to feel a bit softer so Lizzie switched up her lipstick and then we hung out in the sun for twenty minutes taking these. I love how carefree these are!
For her last location, Lizzie wanted photographs in a forest. I love forest photographs and, after going through all of my staple locations, I thought back to Jamie’s bridal session last July and decided to go for it. The parking situation for these may have not been the best – I may have told Lizzie’s mom that, if she got a ticket, I’d totally pay for it (ha!) – but these photographs were so worth the crazy parking we had to pull to get into the forest. I’m so in love with these!
You may recognize the rose Lizzie is holding from a shoot I did with Kaylin (love her!) early in 2015. On a whim, I threw the rose in my car as I headed out the day of Lizzie’s session and, when I pulled it out to show it to Lizzie, I knew that I had made the right choice to bring it. I LOVE how these photographs turned out of her with the rose in the forest. They are so dreamy and sweet and whimsical and I totally need to frame one for my office.
See what I mean?! These photographs are so dreamy! Way to be a stunner, Lizzie!!
And last but not least! We hustled for these last photographs! The sun set super fast on us and, as we ran to find a field, we came across this gorgeous piece of flowery goodness and it was amazing. Thanks for having me photograph your senior photographs, Lizzie! I hope you had the most amazing four years at Har-Ber High School and I cannot wait to see what you do next! Your future is so bright!
