📸⁠⁠ Happy Thursday + Welcome to Spring Phot 📸⁠⁠
Happy Thursday + Welcome to Spring Photography 101...⁠⁠
In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss the importance of taking senior photos before the moment is past FOREVER. 
Ready? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
First, it’s important to document the BIG MILESTONES because, well, they're BIG + we don't repeat them.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
📸 Newborns {they're never little again}⁠⁠
📸 Toddler {just keep growing}⁠⁠
📸 Awkward middle school {those are just funny to look back on + a little cringe too. My coke-bottle glasses...those still make me cringe+laugh}⁠⁠
⁠⁠
💖And your final year in high school - SENIOR YEAR!⁠⁠
Yes it’s BIG🤩
⁠⁠
My blog post yesterday gave some Spring photo ideas that included capturing Cap & Gown portraits in your senior story shoot {link is in my bio if you want ideas}⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You have the newborn albums, the toddler years on the wall, and those family photos in the middle school years...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's time to 'cap off' the at-home school days with your FUN, day-of-senior-you milestone moment this Spring before the caps fly up.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Have questions - I'm an open photobook?⁠⁠
🤗
