Y’all, I’m so excited to share Brittany’s gorgeous senior session on the blog today! This session had it ALL – downtown elegance, playful moments with her pup, college pride, and the most beautiful pink ruffle dress that has me swooning every time I look at these images!
From City Chic to Nature Dreams
We kicked off Brittany’s session at the Historic First National Bank in downtown Huntsville, where that stunning white lace dress photographed beautifully against the classic architecture. I mean, those columns and steps were made for senior portraits!
Then we headed over to Hayes Nature Preserve where the real magic happened! The golden hour light filtering through the trees gave us that dreamy, glowy backdrop that photographers dream about. And can we talk about that DRESS? Those pink ruffles were absolute perfection in motion, especially when Brittany would twirl and the dress would catch the light just right!
Making It Personal (Because That’s What It’s All About!)
What made this session extra special:
- Her sweet pup joined us at Hayes Nature Preserve and was such a good boy for photos! It’s so fun when seniors include their childhood pups- It’s such a special touch!
- Her UNA pride shined through in her casual outfit – that North Alabama tee paired with jean shorts and boots (which Brittany said was her favorite outfit from the day!)
- Those purple wildflowers that Brittany’s dad picked for her to use during the session – how sweet is that?! They popped so beautifully against that pink dress!
This gallery captures all sides of Brittany – the elegant future professional, the casual college student-to-be, and the joyful spirit that shines through in every image.
How We Solve the “I Don’t Know How to Pose” Problem
One thing I hear ALL the time from seniors before their session: “I’m so awkward in front of the camera!” or “I never know what to do with my hands!”
But here’s a little behind-the-scenes secret – nobody naturally knows how to pose! That’s why I guide you through every single shot, giving you easy directions that result in natural, flattering poses.
Brittany mentioned her favorite part was “getting to do different poses,” and it shows in her images! From sitting casually in the grass (her favorite!) to twirling in her dress, to those gorgeous hand-in-hair shots that look so effortless (but actually take some guidance!), we created a diverse gallery that truly represents her personality.
Her advice to other seniors? “Just be yourself and feel confident because you really will have a great time doing the shoot.” Yes, girl! 👏
Future Nurse in the Making!
When Brittany graduates from Arab High School this May, she’ll be heading to the University of North Alabama to pursue her dream of becoming a family nurse practitioner. Her involvement in Arab HOSA, FCCLA, health science internship, and Beta Club shows how dedicated she is to her future career!
I love that we were able to document this special time between high school and college – it’s such a unique moment that deserves to be celebrated AND documented!
The Best Reaction a Photographer Could Hope For
When I asked Brittany how she felt seeing her gallery for the first time, her response made my photographer heart so happy: “I absolutely loved them!!!!“
This is exactly why I do what I do – creating images that make my seniors feel beautiful, confident, and excited about this milestone moment in their lives.
