This might be one of my favorite senior shoots of all time.  Mara is like my high school senior soulmate.  She gets me :)  This girl is gorgeous, intense, amazingly intelligent, confident, and mature.  Her initial email to me was so well-worded I really hoped it wasn’t spam.  She had a million great ideas, and I was excited about each one!  Within five minutes of meeting, we cut out the small talk and found ourselves talking about real life.  I can’t even say that we became friends quickly, because it was really more like we had been friends all along but just hadn’t known it yet.  I love this girl!  Anyway.  Enough with the ranting and on with the pictures.

She brought me an old cigar box full of vintage family photos.  Love.

I love this one!

Paint brush bouquet!

Mara told me she loves nighttime.  We hung out for a little bit, ate some strawberries, set up our lights, and waited for it to get dark.

Yay for this shoot!  Thanks, Mara :)
