one of my most favorites! {catherine ~a senior session}

since it feels like i'll never get all our christmas photos

edited & a 'final christmas post', or 4 written

i want to share one of my most favorite sessions from this past fall.

catherine is one of my precious abby's best friends.

i was thrilled to be asked to shoot her senior photos.

she is gorgeous & such a "just as beautiful on the inside" young lady

who just so happens to be headed to UGA in the fall...

& i think i know a certain AXO who is hoping to see alot of her during rush ;)

 

i had searched high & low for a fabulous vintage suitcase for her session.

i knew i wanted to capture the 'going away'-ness of her senior year

& thanks to the magic of facebook, a friend scored one at an estate sale & 

even swung by to drop it off as i was walking out the door to photograph her!

we headed over to the tracks which incidentally are across from the police station.

adds an element of fun to a session when you incorporate an illegal walk on the tracks.

is it illegal? anyways.

as i began to talk through my plan with catherine we could hear a train coming in the distance.

i figured we could go ahead & get started but her mama would have nothing to do with it.

i was momentarily frustrated with the train's poor timing

& then i realized what fabulous shots it would be

to have the train moving in the background!

perfect!

catherine is laughing so wonderfully because her mama was freaking out.

freaking out i tell you

that we were too close to the train!

thankfully we lived

& she didn't ask for a refund

& we got what i believe are some of my favorites. ever!

congratulations on UGA sweet catherine!

may the rest of your senior year be filled with wonderful memories

& excitement for the future!
