caroline : senior portrait sessions : churchill downs

I got a last minute message asking if I was available for a senior portrait session...

i won the lottery with that inquiry. 

caroline is just about the sweetest, most easy going senior i know! 

she loves horses & so they hoped we could do our shoot at churchill downs. 

it was such a unique loaction, one that i'd never photographed outside of the derby. 

here are a few of my favorites:

i asked if we could trade hair... just love all those curls! 

such a beauty.

caroline... it was a pleasure to meet you. 

wishing you luck in all of your adventures to come!

the two most important days of your life are when you are born, 

and when you find out why.
