Senior Portraits at the Vibe District

Last post, I talked about getting my own family in front of the camera – in front of my camera. My Instagram is full of pictures of my motley crew of three: Christopher, Piper, and Wren. They are my muses in a million different ways on a million different days…but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy having the chance to photograph other family. My cousin, Carol Ann, is an absolute gem. So, when I had the chance to do her senior portraits at the Vibe District in Virginia Beach, I was stoked.  Y’all already know that the colors in the Vibe District are some of my favorite, but Carol Ann outshined all of them.

Every single one of them.

I have known Carol Ann her entire life.  Not in that we-are-family-so-we-“know”-each-other kind of way.  I know her because I lived with her when she was just a baby and nannied her while I was in college.  When I say I know, I freaking know. Of all the things I know, here are some of my favorites:

• she can make more faces than a hundred people
• her dance moves should be shared with the world
• she should be a black-belt (scroll down to check out her awesome ninja kicks)
• the Class of 2022 wouldn’t be near as cool without her
• I can’t imagine how many rad adventures she will have because she is greater than the scope of my imagination – exactly as she should be

Thank you to Carol Ann and her family for making the trip east from Illinois so that I could capture these images.  You crossed a time zone, bridges, and over 13 hours of roads to see me.  I’m adding this experience to the many memories I have of you.

Cheers to many more!
