A little purple, a little attitude, and a whole lot of personality! 💜
Oh, Jade! What an afternoon we had!
One of my favorite things about our Senior Model for a Day experiences is that no two are ever alike. And this one? It was ALL Jade!
We started at our adorable Main Street neighbor, Curiouser Books before heading out to explore the urban side of our darling little town of Montrose. Of course, we couldn’t pass up our colorful backyard mural created a couple years ago by the amazing JMEL | Jesse Melanson ! And with our newly remodeled studio, we had even more fun spaces to play in.
There were fabulous boots, lots of purple, a little silliness, and plenty of laughter along the way.
But here’s what made this afternoon especially wonderful.
I absolutely adore this family.
And when you have the opportunity to really get to know the people you’re photographing, to spend time together planning, sharing ideas, and dreaming up something completely their own, the experience becomes so much more than a photo shoot.
This wasn’t about creating one dream photograph. It was about creating Jade’s dream experience.
An entire afternoon celebrating who she is, the things she loves, and the people who love her.
And somewhere between the bookstore, the mural, the studio, and all the laughter, we created a collection of photographs that couldn’t possibly belong to anyone else.
Jade, I loved every minute of our adventure together. Thank you for being so wonderfully YOU!
And to your family, thank you for trusting me with these memories. You know how much you mean to me. 💜
