Salem, Oregon Photographer: Senior Photos | SAVANNAH
HEY YA'LL! I know it's been probably 1.2 million years since I last blogged, but work & life has kept me busy ;) I *had* to jump on here and share one of my last senior photo sessions because a.) I LOVED working with this gal and she absolutely inspires me b.) The session was total location inspo because it was gorgeous!

She is absolute model material, right?? I'll tell you- this girl is a gem. She first contacted me because she was interested in college senior photos. She is graduating from WOU and heading to med school- I didn't even know her yet but I was already proud of her!! The main reason she wanted to get these photos done because she wanted to honor her parents and how big of a role they have played in her life and her achievements. As a Mother myself, I instantly got choked up hearing her talk about how grateful she is to them for their constant love and support over the years. AND WHEN I SAW HER DECORATED CAP :')
Like, seriously? I was so touched because as a parent because this is all we really want, right? To know with absolute certainty that we have given our children ALL the tools they need to achieve their dreams. She told me that even if it was 2:00am she could have called them and they would have listened to her, encouraged her, and reminded her to keep giving it her all. She talked so highly of them and with such love- it was so inspiring! Inspiring to me as a parent, to remind ME to keep giving my own children that unconditional support- but also as a reminder to tell the people we love how much their support means to us.
I'll leave you with this last set of photos for reference of how gorg her session was :) If you're a photographer in the Salem/Portland area, I highly recommend the Oregon Garden as a session location! There were so many gorgeous backdrop options- it is worth the drive!
CONGRATULATIONS to this beautiful soul! It was an honor to work with her, and I cannot wait to see what she does with this next life chapter! <3
