My goodness have I been behind with blogs or what?! Fall was absolutely packed, which didn’t give me a whole lot of time to write about my sessions, but I am so excited to be back to take a look at all the amazing clients that ended my 2018 year starting with my girl, Haley.

Haley from Austintown Fitch High School has been one of the most thoughtful and kind clients I have had this past year, and this was not the first time I worked with her!! Haley won my spring giveaway collaboration back in May, so I already knew we were going to have a blast because of how much fun we had the last time!

Working with clients more than once is THE best because they are so much more comfortable and at ease since they know the drill. But I have to say this girl is one of my favorites. When we met up for her fall session, she brought me a ring dish shaped like a camera. How sweet is that?! That was totally unnecessary, but I absolutely love it, and it’s now on my bedside table.

One of the many reasons I appreciate Haley is because she truly trusts me to pick her locations. She had no idea where I was taking her, but I knew Vicker’s Nature Preserve would be the perfect place to start at.

Haley’s outfits were also stunning. She looked so cute in all of them, but I really loved that yellow top (and so did her mama!)

I love big fields for fall, especially during golden hour because they make such a great pair. This field is off road a little bit, but right next to the preserve.

These last two were taken on one of the side roads over by White House Fruit Farms. It’s not super busy, but there’s farms all around to get that “in the middle of no where” look. There were a few times we had to run out of the street, but it makes for some laughs!

This last photo is my absolute favorite, hands down. Everything about it is absolutely stunning. You wouldn’t believe the patience it took to take it, and I kept making Haley lift her head to get it just right, which I know had to be uncomfortable. It was totally worth the struggle though, and we had her on my reflector, so don’t worry about her super cute jumpsuit! It did not get all muddy. Can we also take a second to recognize that Haley’s nails match perfectly here as well?! I love it!

Haley is one of those seniors you wish would never graduate so you could keep taking her pictures and get to know her even better. Her sense of humor is amazing, and her spirit makes everyone around her smile! Here’s to clients as wonderful as she is!!
