I was so excited about Allie’s session because I felt like she fearlessly wanted this session to showcase the real her. When she told me she was a singer, involved in the drama department, and into makeup I thought “OMG the possibilities!” She was open to all my suggestions and I feel like we nailed highlighting important elements of Allie. We found a dramatic dress that was totally her and she wore some of her favorite clothes from everyday life that will make these images even more special to look at when she is old and gray. I too am a singer, and choir and musicals were a big part of my high school experience so I felt an artsy connection with this sweet, honest, and really cool girl from the start! Enjoy her interview and fantastic images.
