Rain is the best. Being from a city from the desert (St. George, Utah), I never take rain for granted. Even now, 15 years after moving away from St. George, I still get giddy when I see a rainstorm. However, now that I am a senior photographer in a place that gets more than five inches of rain a year, ( 😉 ) it’s not always welcomed. Eep! When Breanna’s session arrived, we had rain in the forecast on that day. But my weather app said it would be a quick storm. Sometimes I don’t trust those apps. 🙂 However, the rain came, it poured, and then it left. And when the sun came out again, it made for a gorgeous senior session.

Breanna knew exactly what she wanted for her session. Actually, I think she knew more of what she DIDN’T want, and I love that about her. She picked Dow Gardens as a must location, and she knew she wanted some shots with flowers. She brought along her dad and her boyfriend. Breanna, Sam is a keeper!

We started out on these steps just inside the entrance to Dow Gardens. Her hair and makeup were done by Cathy, my go-to MUA. Doesn’t Breanna look beautiful??

Here she is by those flowers she wanted. Dow Gardens, you never disappoint, even after some rain.

Her smile here is so her.

After a quick outfit change, we found beautiful locations in Dow Gardens for Breanna.

My favorite thing about this session is that Breanna showed up and brought herself. Her style, clothes, mannerisms, etc. are all so her, and it was amazing to capture that for her.

Next week, I’ll share the second half of her session where we went to the Chippewa Nature Center. Stay tuned!
