Taylor

Narrowing this session down was not a simple task! I have many favorites. Taylor met me last week for her senior portraits, she’s about to complete her last year of high school. When she showed up at my door, I remembered her mother telling me over the phone how beautiful her daughter is (I know as mothers, we all tend to be biased, but Tami wasn’t exaggerating). We spent our time between the big sexy food location, and one of Pensacola’s coolest hip shop: Duh. I’ve had those 2 spots in mind for a while, and am so happy to finally have had a chance to try them out. Taylor has part of her future mapped out already, she’s fascinated with Political science, which really has me impressed (I’m seriously challenged in that field).

One of my very favorites. I shot this frame through a “garden wire sphere”, I love the effect it gives the background, and Taylor is just stunning!

I also love this picture,


The left frame is an other of my favorites,

    Hi Tami
    Taylor has beautiful eyes.. No matter what you pick you are attracted to her eyes.
    I like the very first Pic.. and the 2nd on on the striped lounger. Don't
    care for the one at the bar.. just not in good taste. So may good one to choose from
    Good luck in pick out a few of your favorites.
    Taylor have fun in your final year at school, now the real work begins..
    Pat

    Fantastic photos'. The many facets of her personality have been captured. Of course, her beautiful eyes have always been the most unbelievable captivating alure of her essence.
    Her grandmother and I love her dearly.

    Taylor's pictures turned out great! What a beautiful gal she turned out to be. I love her smile & billiant eyes. My favorites were the ones in the purple flowered top & jeans. Nice posing & totally relaxed.

    I'm so sad that my little Peanut has grown up into a woman. All the pictures are wonderful, and I'm sure whichever ones you choose will be terrific. Thank you Arielle for being so kind and taking such care in with the many different settings.

    Taylor - These pictures of you are amazing. Tami & Jon - I'm shocked this is the same 'kid' that Josh and I took mini-golfing all those years ago. Isn't she still supposed to be 10-11yrs old? Truly unbelievable at how fast time goes by. Congratulations to the graduate!

    Arrielle... what a great eye you have. I wish I lived closer would love you to photograph my grandson!
    Taylor is a absolutley gorgeous girls... those eyes and the cute innocent look of the freckles and lips that I would suffer LARGE amounts of plastic surgery for if they could promise me the same look that Taylor has. Momma these photos need to be sent to Seventeen Magazine and every cosmetic company you can think of!

    Beautiful...I prefer the pictures that you are smiling...when she smiles it makes her eyes dance. I also like # 20, the one of Taylor leaning on the bench with the crosses hanging on the fence.

    Taylor, I hope with the comments on these pictures from sooooooo many people, that you start to understand how you have bloomed. I've known you since about thirteen, and you've grown into a beautiful young lady. Be happy with what you have, but ALWAYS continue to chase your dreams.
