I felt priveledged to be able to work with Caitlin as it is obvious she is going places. I can’t wait to see her images plastered all over fashion magazines in the near future. Updated to add she was just chosen for the cover of BAYFashion Magazine’s February issue. See it here.

I couldn’t wait to blog this session! Not only is this senior gorgeous, but she is also a lover of all things funny. Because I know nothing about humor (insert sarcasm here), it was a blast hanging out with a comedy lovin’ youngin’. Seniors rock my world. The end of the era of “protected freedom” as I like to call it. A glowing future of unknowns just waiting in the shadows for the final year to commence. They know who they are. They know what they want. And they know how to have fun. Ahhh…can you see me reminiscing now?
Ahem…Here is a rockin’ session of a senior from my alma mater…St. Mary’s High School. Almost 20 years later (did I just type that?), and it feels like yesterday. I wonder if they still give summons for not wearing socks or having our skirts shorter than an arm’s length. I’ll have to ask. Oh, and if you don’t know who *Josep* is, then I guess you’ll have to ask a humorous senior. Or google it. Or watch Comedy Central. Here’s to all the belly laughing seniors around the globe. I think Mark Twain said it best when he stated, “Humor is mankind’s greatest blessing”.

We’ll start this post with classic beauty…I mean do they get any prettier?





I just love senior style!







(Pssst…secret. My favorite from the session. Yes, I have favorites.)

And for the final act…”I love orange chicken”…that’s for you Bri (crowd giggling)! Now everybody go tell someone a joke!

They met before they were born. Their moms in the same “getting ready for baby” class and a bond was immediately formed. They were born within days of each other, both sets of them. Friends. Sisters. I saw an old picture of all four of these girls on the beach when the eldest girls were four and and the youngest were babies. To be able to capture them all together at this stage in their young adult lives was a privilege. Through the years they’ve shared childhood, memories, joy, and tragedy. They’ve kept their bonds strong through long distance separation and now the eldest two are making their way into the grown up world as seniors. I hope someday they’ll look back on these photos and share them with their own children when they talk about their lives together as friends and sisters.



Not my normal processing style…but something different because a tractor in a field with 4 girls on it calls for something different…


How cute are they!

I can only imagine all the conversations they’ve shared over the years together. So much history…



And because I have an insatiable love for what the sun does to figures…
Love this one of them on the swings. It’s like memories of childhood setting with the golden sun.

Awww…

This picture summarizes how good friends should always make each other feel…like jumping for joy! Thank you girls for making new memories with each other in front of my camera.
