Ok, I adore this girl already. This is our 2nd time shooting together and she's a ton of fun. She's one of those girls that is just so easy to be around and comfortable. She's engaged and talkative and always up for whatever I ask her to do. (Well most of the time - lol). Although I spend alot of time in the metro parks on shoots, I'm still not a fan of anthing moving, buzzing or slithering. Apparently Ava is my soul sister and feels the same. She's not a fan of heat either. ha!

She loved getting her makeup done and working with Tatum. I mean, who wouldn't? But that's the whole idea. This is your special day and she loved starting it out with some serious pampering!

The first portion of her shoot she really wanted to incorporate water. I took her to one of my favorite spots. A little off the path and easy to get too, but not so easy to manever once your there. (AKA slimy rocks ect)....She was a trooper and took direction so well. These are some of my fav photos and her outfit choice was perfect. 

From there, she wanted rustic and natural. We headed to one of my favorite spots and did some beautiful images in the rustic grasses and boardwalk. She chose the perfect outfits for her location and I know all the planning that went into this session made her feel comfortable with her choices. 

We had an absolute blast capturing her unique spirit and style. From nailing those picture-perfect moments to sharing some genuine laughs, it was an unforgettable experience that truly showcased her high school journey.

This girl's energy and positivity are so next level, and we made sure her photos radiate that same incredible zest for life. Can't wait for you all to check out her final favorite images. I'm thrilled she will have these in a beautiful album keepsake that she can enjoy for a lifetime and pass down to her own family one day. xo

Ava and Krista-you are both amazing!! I'm so grateful that you chose me to capture such a special time. I enjoyed every second!
