Mackenzie is another one of my senior girls who is just inches away from graduation and college. Knowing that we’d be heading out to Maclay Gardens for another senior session, I wanted to be sure that hers was different. Once again we found a couple of lesser photographed areas off the beaten path to make her photo session unique and special. I also met with Mackenzie prior to her session to discuss clothing, accessories, etc and asked if she had one thing she wanted to bring that really symbolized her right now in her life. The answer seemed obvious – her gorgeous, sky blue Mustang! So I made the case for bringing it along! I told her that if there was one thing I wish I had a picture of from high school, it would be me in front of my 91 Volkswagon Cabriolet so this was something she’d definitely want to remember down the road.
Mackenzie’s shoot was too easy! She’s is such a beauty and mastered the direction I gave her so effortlessly. It felt like we were just out there hanging out in the gardens rather than out on a shoot! One of my favorite things about her images are that even when she is holding a serious gaze, she’s still smiling the smallest little grin. Her resulting images are warm and inviting and make you feel like you’ve known her for years.
Good luck to you, Mackenzie! Enjoy these last few days of childhood! College is going to be amazing!
