Jacey >> 2017 Plainview Senior

Jacey was my first C/O 2017 Plainview senior, and it’s always fun shooting with guys and girls from my alma mater. It’s cool to me that we’ve walked the same hallways, chanted the same cheers at football games, and even had some of the same teachers. A lot has changed at PHS since I was there, and I know my seniors are having a different experience than I did in some ways, but Plainview bears will always have a special place in my heart 😉

We shot Jacey’s session at a private home in Rainsville (after a slight mishap where I drove to The Highlands subdivision in Hammondville only to realize I was supposed to be in The Highlands subdivision in Rainsville 🙂 ) I have no sense of direction, and trying to navigate to my location without GPS turned out to be a real bad call. But after I arrived a mere 15 minutes late, we were able to get started at this beautiful place! I’m used to shooting out in the middle of nowhere or in downtown areas, so it was SO nice to be able to take a break in between looks and cool off in the house. Jacey was even able to re-curl her hair a couple times and keep a check on her makeup.

Her first look was a colorful floral top, and I knew it would be so pretty against the green grass and all the plants around the property. I was particularly obsessed with this tree that had HUGE leaves that made a perfect backdrop. Jacey’s second look was simple and classic– black top, shorts, and Converse. I was amazed at how nice her Chucks were– mine are *literally* falling apart at the seams! We got some shots in this outfit down by the big pond, and even got to see the fish freak out and start splashing around when the automatic feeder switched on. Jacey ended her session in a blue swing dress and PERFECT golden light.

I somehow managed to convince her to get in the pool for the final few shots, and I was obsessed with how beautiful the images looked on the back of my camera. This was the first time I got to shoot a senior in a pool, but I kept the trend going with Iva’s session, which you’ll see on the blog next! And ya know, there’s actually only been one senior so far this year (gorgeous Courtney) that I HAVEN’T thrown into a body of water of some sort! So here’s a fair warning to my upcoming 2017 seniors, you MAY get wet on this crazy ride 😉
