Mackenzie’s Senior Session

I have a special place in my heart for dancers. Dance is part of my own story and when I get to photograph them it brings two of my passions into a joyful convergence. When Mackenzie said she wanted to dance for her senior portraits, I knew it would be a memorable session.

My goal in any session is to be able to show my client and the world who they really are- their innermost beauty. Most people don’t know how beautiful they are. They walk this earth completely unaware of the light they carry. It is my joy to not only see it, but also to capture and carry it back for them to view as well. Mackenzie is no exception. She walks with a quiet beauty and elegance that she doesn’t know she has. She was a bit shy during the beginning of our session, but it wasn’t long before we were laughing. I loved taking her around the block close to my studio in her lovely dance dress. People stopped to stare at this spectacle of grace and loveliness. ‘Yes’, I thought to myself. “She is a gleam of light on this mundane block of city life.  You should stop.”

Mackenzie, thank you for sharing your free and sweet spirit with me. I hope you love your senior photos. Blessings on your bright and shining future.
