Senior spotlight: Madison Kelley class of 2024
When Madison and I first chatted about her senior pics I felt like we just clicked. She has such a sincere personality and spoke to me with such casual ease that people usually reserve for siblings or besties. Taking great portraits of someone who doesn’t know you very well can be incredibly challenging, but Madison made my job easier just by being herself and not making me work hard to figure out what she is feeling. We had a great time with lots of genuine laughter during her session even though we had to shoot on one of the gloomiest and icky humid days of the summer. I got to know a tiny bit about her life and I must say I am incredibly impressed by this young lady. I think she can do anything she wants in life as long as she lets herself :)
