While the leaves were still turning shades and gently falling from their branches, Carissa and I headed out one gorgeous fall evening for her senior portrait session. She’s actually already graduated from High School, but she and her mom felt it was important to capture her during this pivotal point in her life – and I couldn’t agree more.
We met at Game Farm Park in Auburn, a huge 53+ acre park nestled along the White River. We were fortunate enough to get the last of the golden evening light, which really worked with the rich fall colors surrounding us. As we raced against the setting sun, Carissa gave a glowing performance as a complete natural in front of the camera. I’m proud to share some of her beautiful images with you and I hope she is too.
I’ll call her…the autumn sweetheart.
And because he was such a willing and skilled lighting assistant, I even let her boyfriend sneak in for a couple of shots. Aren’t they a cute couple?
