Ready for her close up

Hello, senior year! If it's late August, it must be senior portrait season (our school requires them to be submitted the first 2 weeks of September). We're loving the sneak peeks of L's photo session from last week:

We lucked out with a new friend who moved here recently who's a fantastic photographer to boot. Thanks, Nicole! Every gal should have the experience of being treated like such a rock star. 

(If you're in the area, check her out! She's really wonderful.)

Those are FANTASTIC! My favorite (though it's near impossible to pick) is number two. Love the lighting. Your girl is so beautiful. I can't believe how grown up she is.

Is it just me, or does it feel like they were just learning to read?...
She's a beauty!

Ok. Now when she goes to USU (right?) let's introduce her to Noah. Not just because she is absolutely beautiful, but because you are her mom so she must be wonderful too.

She is just lovely. Please, please, please let's try to get together when you are next in DC. I am fairly flexible, especially if Isaac can tag along. My cell is 202-603-5591.

Oh my, Lauren is just so lovely. Beautiful photo lay-out. Love the close-ups and the lighting on the one by the fence and water. I can't find the words to express how luminescent she is. Great photographer, and great and gorgeous subject.
