Graduation season is emotional and confusing. Everyone is so excited and at the same time quietly wondering if they’re doing the card, gift, and thank-you part right.

Some sessions just hit a little different… and this one? Oh, this one had my heart from the start. I hopped a plane to sunny Tampa, Florida for Olivia’s senior pictures—and this wasn’t just any senior. I’ve known this girl since she was in diapers! Watching her grow up into the beautiful, driven, ridiculously talented […]
