Lauren | Senior Girls | Bloomington Senior Photographer

Not only is this gorgeous girl a stunning senior and an accomplished, smart young woman, she is also my niece. I loved getting to do her senior portraits, and visiting with her and three of my other nieces. Lauren will be graduating in May, and wants to pursue photography in college. She is truly one-of-a-kind, and a sweet, wise soul. Thanks for trekking here from your home state to give me the joy of being your senior photographer, Lauren!

Lauren chose gorgeous pieces for her senior shoot, including a white, off the shoulder top. Cold-shoulder and off the shoulder tops are just about everywhere this season, and we love their breezy, summery look. They pair perfectly with skinny jeans, cut-off denim shorts, or fun printed pants, and they look best in whites and creams, or in tiny floral prints. This one is one of our favs, with it’s needlework, open detail, and it’s under $15! If you want a bit of a nicer quality, Free People has tons of embroidered and dressier off the shoulder tops, like this one. Add a wide-brim hat like Lauren’s and you will be perfectly in style, whether you’re off to the Farmer’s Market or the pool!

Zoe | Seniors | Bloomington Senior Portraits

You may recognize this beautiful girl from a few other shoots. She is one of my incredible senior reps. Sometimes, people ask me why we would use senior reps. I always think, “why not?!”

They can better reach their peers and friends with such a better message than I can. They are the ones in the halls every day, talking to their friends and showing off their photos. There is no better reference than word of mouth, and these seniors are all so amazing. Their outgoing, friendly spirits are truly the ones spreading the word about their experiences in their high schools. Plus, we have such a fun time together, that everyone wins! Zoe is graduating from Normal Community High School. She hopes to attend U of I, or the University of Texas, where she will study accounting. She says she would describe herself as “outgoing, fun, hardworking and positive”. In her spare time, she loves listening to music from pop singers like Maroon 5 and Ariana Grande, and hanging out with her friends. She says she likes girly and preppy styles, and also a more “athletic” look, so we incorporated trendy and casual looks throughout her session. I loved her plaid skirt and her cool M-slit maxi dress. I love my senior reps, and have enjoyed meeting every single one. They have done an amazing job representing me and my senior photography. Thanks, Zoe!
