Maggie: Senior Pictures: The City Museum & Faust Park

Maggie's session was one of my all-time favorite Senior Sessions!!  She is one spunky kiddo and it was so much fun to capture her bright spirit.

I've been photographing Maggie's family for many years and have grown quite close with her momma (Hi. Rita!).  It all began when Rita was referred to me for Maggie's older sister's senior pics a few years back.  (Hey, Josie! LOL!)  I knew when Rita called to schedule Mag's session that this one had to be unique and fun... so I pulled out all the stops!

We started her session at The City Museum where we ended up on the ferris wheel that's on the roof!  Mags neglected to tell me she is afraid of heights until we got to the top of the ride!  I had to photograph her from above my head (and backwards!) to get the shot... and when I looked at the screen and saw her face, all I could do was giggle!  Bless her little heart for being so brave so that we could get the "money shot"!  (It now hangs on the wall in my client meeting space!)

We then continued along to Faust Park where she did a couple of outfit changes.  I'd had this idea for a floral crown in my head and Maggie agreed to try it out it for me.  Kelly Jurotich (owner of The Crimson Petal) created the INCREDIBLE crown for us!!

We ended her session, just after sunset, with a few shots in her favorite piece of clothing... her poncho!  She wears it pretty much every day, so I knew we had to get a few shots of her in it!
