I first met Julian when we were high school juniors, competing together in DeKalb County’s Junior Miss program. Throughout a summer of demanding practices, all the girls became a group of close friends. Even after the program was over, some of the girls asked me to do some (admittedly terrible) senior portraits for them! Thank goodness I’ve come a long way since then, and when Julian asked me to take some shots of her to commemorate her graduation from nursing school, I was so excited to have the opportunity! She was as sweet as ever, and somehow had gotten even PRETTIER since high school. (I’m still not sure how some people manage that) Anyway…we had a short session on a cold day, but we made the most of it! My favorite things about Julian’s look were her royal blue lace dress and her beautiful curls that totally reminded me of a 40s starlet!
