Brooke is my cute cousin. To family she is affectionately referred to as, "cookie." (Thanks to another cousin having a hard time pronouncing "brookie." when they were both little) Back in September I asked Brooke if she wanted me to take her senior pictures, she said she did but wanted to wait until Spring when there would be more flowers out. The lingering winter we had topped with all the rain pushed back all the blooms quite a bit. So much so that you add the craziness of my sister's wedding and being nine months pregnant resulted in senior pictures after Cook had graduated. But lucky for Brooke this random and out of the blue poppy patch popped up near my house! I sent her a text and we had the session scheduled for just a couple days later. Just by looking at the pictures, you'd never guess we were basically in a gutter on the side of the road! Brooke showed up wearing the perfect pop of red that just flowed so well with the flowers. She also brought her graduation dress that was a perfect pick for the second location I wanted to take her. Victor's Pond is always a quick and easy go-to location for me. The long grass was starting it's growth spurt and was just the perfect height for Brooke's pictures. This photoshoot was a dream and was exactly what I needed for a little self care after having Fields. Sessions like these remind we why I decided to specialize in family and senior photography.
