A few months ago I posted on Instagram that I was doing a giveaway. The winner of my giveaway was going to win a professional photo shoot with makeup included with her best friend. Jada won, and we just had the chance to go out a few weeks ago and get her pictures taken.

Jada and her best friend, Chloe, met up at my house at 5:00. We were lucky enough to have my amazing makeup artist joining us. She always does a fabulous job! Cathy, I SO appreciate you. Cathy did her thing, and all of us had fun chatting together. I think the girls were especially excited to get their lashes on. 😉

Up First – Dow Gardens

We left my place around 6:15 and headed straight for Dow Gardens. I let the girls choose where they wanted to go for this best friend session, and I love that they wanted to go here! Here are a few of Jada in Dow Gardens. Next week I’ll be posting the ones of Chloe here.

Isn’t she beautiful? I love how she could pull off a serious look so well while still being able to when I got those out of her. After we tromped around Dow Gardens for a while, we headed across the new bridge into the Whiting Forest. What a gorgeous place that is!

Whiting Forest

Here we played on the canopy walk and took lovely pictures on the trails. It’s becoming a favorite location of mine with all the diversity it has to offer for these portrait sessions.

I ADORE this rope bridge. It makes such an amazing backdrop for these senior sessions!

This is one of my faves.

After we had our fun in Whiting Forest, we traced our steps back to Dow Gardens and ended with this.

I’m so glad you won my giveaway, Jada! I had an awesome time with you and Chloe.

Let's be social!
