What do you get when you combine golden Arizona light, lush overgrown foliage, and a high school senior who dresses like a star and holds herself like a model? You get Carolyn’s senior session — and we’re slightly obsessed. From the moment we snapped the first frame, we started giggling to ourselves, because we knew it was gonna be a GOOD DAY. Plus, there’s just something about high school seniors these days. Can we get an amen? There’s something in the water. It’s like the opposite of that scene in Willie Wonka, where Augustus Gloop drinks from a river full of chocolate, falls in, and gets sucked into the fudge room. You remember that part, right? For these seniors, it’s more like when Achilles’s mom dunks him in the River Styx and makes him invincible. Our question? Where’s this magic river, ladies? Because you’re all swimming in different water than we did in high school. Is it a potion? Two drops of gorgeous… a pinch of fabulous… a spoonful of style… If it is, send us the name of your dealer, because we wanna get hooked!
Carolyn, from the minute we met and hugged, we couldn’t wait to start working with you. We smiled every time you did, because how could we not? It’s infectious, girl. Good luck in college this fall. We hope that your future is every bit as bright as you are in these photographs. Here’s a little sampling of our afternoon together…
