Julianna // WTMC Class of 2021

The rain stayed away and we were ready for adventure!!! I love clients who are willing to do things that seem weird but they're down for whatever! Julianna is definitely like that. I've known her for her entire life and our families have been friends for over 20 years!!! She's also a photographer herself and this was my first experience photographing a college. It made the experience slightly different but it was a blast!!

This was my first time shooting at Kensington Metropark and I am in love! There are so many gorgeous locations (as you'll see shortly) and once the sun came out... MAGIC!!! If I can find a willow somewhere there, it will have everything on my dream list! I'll definitely be shooting there in the future. Thanks, Julianna, for introducing me to this gem!

Julianna went to Washtenaw Technical Middle College which means she graduated a year later than the rest of the kids her age, BUT she has two years of college done! I know a lot of kids who have gone there and it seems like a great program. Her interests are wide-ranging so she's not 100% sure what she'll be doing yet, but she starts at Michigan Tech this fall!

It was fun collaborating with a fellow creative and Julianna was such a trooper. It was pretty hot out but we had water, ice packs, and her mom even brought little portable fans for us! Mom for the win! I had such a hard time picking through the photos for the blog! Julianna, you KILLED these photos! Isn't she gorgeous, folks?

Congratulations, Julianna, and good luck on your next adventure at Michigan Tech!

A birch tree and tall grasses? Yes, please!!!

When I ask my clients to do weird things because I know we can get shots like this!

I get really excited when I see glowy light!!

This bridge and these shots are some of my favorite from the whole session!

Pro tip: try to get a child in the water yelling bizarre things for that extra-genuine laugh.

Pro tip: Use bridges and get down on your client's level!
