It was such a bittersweet session with Allyson. I’ve been photographing her since she was just eight or nine years old, and it’s hard to believe how quickly time has flown. You never really think the day will come, and then suddenly they’re seniors, touring colleges and getting ready for the next chapter of life. Her parents, Jason and Jolene, and their sweet dog, Kirby, joined us for the session, just as they have over the years.

Allyson, you’ve grown into such a beautiful young woman, radiating energy and kindness. I have no doubt you’ll do incredible things and that the future ahead of you will be so bright.
