It’s always such a surreal experience photographing the children of close friends, especially as they step into adulthood. Photographing Charlotte at this age was both a pleasure and an honor. She is such a talented and beautiful person, full of joy, kindness, and quiet strength.

We began her session in a gorgeous field, then moved to the beach for some stunning waterside portraits. And, of course, we couldn’t miss highlighting her incredible talent as a hockey player, a side of her that shows just how powerful and determined she truly is.

Charlotte, your heart is good, your strength is remarkable, and your future is nothing short of inspiring. I can’t wait to see all that’s ahead for you.

A huge thank-you to my good friend Amy Wagner of Amy Wagner Photography for helping bring the hockey portion of this shoot to life. It was a little outside my usual realm and I’m beyond grateful for her collaboration.
