I just had my first session of the year a couple weeks ago, and it was wonderful. It was also the first session I’ve done where a senior brings along his or her dog. I loved it! Since Gabby was bringing Henry along, we knew we’s need someplace that allowed dogs. She chose City Forest, and it was the perfect location. All day long we watched the weather because it threatened to rain. The clouds were ominous even as we drove to meet up. I thought for use we’d have to cancel, but Mother Nature was good to us. We even got a bit of sunshine later on. 🙂

Gabby’s dog Henry was nervous at first, but we were still able to get some beautiful portraits of the both of them together. I mean, look. Seriously perfect.

What you can’t see here though are the billions of bugs swarming around (I totally got attacked by a grasshopper) and the 300% humidity. I’m pretty sure Gabby has the best hair to have handled it so well.

We took several more with Henry, and this next one may very well be my favorite of the two.

Like I said, it was so hot and humid, but you’d never know it from these pictures. Gabby changed into her second outfit, and I loved the flow of her dress and the color on her. She’s a dancer, and every movement she made was so graceful.

Hold up. This next one is my absolute fave. We caught it just as the light started peaking through the clouds at City Forest. These classic portraits seriously get me every time.

Gabby also brought along a jean jacket to wear, and it really helped to diversify her outfits by pairing it with this dress.

Next time, I’ll be sharing the second half of her session. The location and her outfits seriously came together so well! See ya then!

Let's be social!
