I was thrilled when Elly and her Mom chose County Line Orchard as their location for her senior portraits. It’s one of my favorite places to visit and shoot. (Of course I had to take some pumpkin donuts home with me!) We incorporated every fall favorite the orchard had to offer. Apples, mums, pumpkins and sunflowers were the perfect accessories for our fall themed shoot!

Her beautiful and natural makeup application was done by makeup artist Ami Sanchez of Full On Glam and her cousin did a fabulous job on her hair. Also want to give a shout out to Mom for being a great assistant!

1. You're going on a road trip. A: Where are you going? B: What one person are you driving with? C: Which song is definitely on your playlist? D: What's your must have snack?: 

I’d definitely be going somewhere tropical like Florida with my best friend Erica because we’d have the most fun. A song that would definitely be on my playlist is No Role Modelz by J Cole because it’s such a feel good song. And my must have snack would be Cheez-It’s for sure.

2. If you were putting on a concert for your school, which three bands/artists would you book? 

Well knowing most kids in my school listen to rap probably Migos because everyone likes them, J Cole because he’s my favorite, and U2 because I think that’s funny.

I was dying over this sweater Elly chose. She was working that fringe. I told her to dance around and give me a little Stevie Nicks action. Haha! Mom totally got where I was going with that and to my surprise, Elly knew too.
