Around Town Session with Senior Model Rep Michela

The first thing that struck me about Michela at our first meeting was her mesmerizing green eyes! (I was probably staring at them a little bit to be honest.) The second thing was her incredibly warm smile and personality. She was as sweet as her eyes were sparkly. She had expressed that she really wanted a field of flowers for her senior session so I made a few suggestions for locations that would give her that look but then also some variety.

We started in my fave (not so secret) spot tucked away in a corner of an alley. I just love texture and color of the ivy and brick. Then we walked around Crown Point Square, where you never know what you'll find in the shop windows. I loved the vintage signs that were on display. Those Coca Cola signs combined with classic jeans and a cute little beauty mark really gave me some 90s supermodel vibes.

The 2nd half of our session brought us to the fields of wild flowers and tall grasses. I love the dreamy feel of the grasses blowing softly in the wind and the evening light giving everything a glow.
