I met Paige this past fall. She was a friend of my sister who happened to living at my parent’s house for awhile. I was immediately taken with her maturity and sweet spirit. As she shared some of her story with me, I was even more humbled by her resilience and joy. Paige comes from a bumpy past, but her future is more than bright. A few weeks ago, Paige graduated high school and in just a few days she leaves for basic training in the Army. She’s determined and passionate and kind. She’s full of life and I know her life will be SO full as she takes these next steps ahead. 

   When she asked me to take some senior photos for her, I was more than willing, but being that I live 4 hours away, time got away from us and the session never got scheduled. I was in Springfield in late March and the day before I left town, we discovered our schedules aligned and we could finally do the session – less than 24 hours later!! What transpired that next afternoon was one of my favorite senior sessions to date. Paige’s beautiful smile, contagious laugh, and storytelling eyes combined with some one-of-a-kind city hideaways and gorgeous golden sunset light culminated into this stunner of a collection below.

   Paige, sister, you are one of a kind. You are beautiful in every way! Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise! Praying for your new adventures ahead, sweet girl!
