I just came back from visiting Utah. I’m from Utah – born and raised! My older sister just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and I flew out there to surprise my sister. I haven’t visited Utah in about five years. I can’t believe it’s been that long. Long story short, my sister was surprised by my visit and then had the baby less than 12 hours after I flew in. Talk about good timing! As I was there, Emma’s mom called me to schedule Emma’s senior portrait session. We scheduled it for the following week back in Michigan.

Even though we’ve had a rainy fall, the weather was absolutely beautiful. I love it when the weather cooperates with my plans. 😉 Emma had picked downtown Midland and the Chippewa Nature Center for her two locations. They were perfect and not terribly busy. Before arriving at downtown, Emma opted to get her hair done by my make-up artist, Cathy. She did Saige’s make-up for her shoot. Cathy does a great job in prepping my seniors for their portrait sessions. After Emma was done we met up and had an amazing time. She opted to bring her stuffed pineapple, and one of my favorite shots from the whole evening was taken with it. Scroll down to see it!

Emma, you’re a beautiful soul. Keep on shining because the world needs more people like you.

Let's be social!
