Senior Week {Friday} featuring Riley

Senior Week {Friday}

Riley is the featured Senior I know the least yet felt such a connection with!  Shy and humble she, has a very unique style of her own.  We are both from New Lisbon so I was very excited to hear she wanted her session to be different and was willing to travel to Me.  We met up at the New Glarus brewery (outside) for an organic feel, the trails and barns were a great backdrop.

Next we parked downtown and wandered around looking for brick walls, alleys and old buildings.

And here is where I feel Riley's personality shines!  The hat is SO cool and that smirk couldn't be sweeter.  Her prom dress below was handmade from an Etsy shop and gorgeous!  She really has an original style that goes lovely with her calming energy!

Best of luck to you next year Riley at SMSU for Culinary!

Senior Week {Thursday} featuring Darrien

Senior Week {Thursday}

I met Darrien a few years ago when we did a few dance sessions.  She is such a beautiful dancer and girl I've had a blast working together.  With dance being such a big part of her life so far we had to include the studio at the beginning of her Senior session.

 All of her costumes through the years.

Darrien's first recital costume

 We had fun getting nostalgic with this session at Darrien's Grandparents farm.  From tire swings to balloons, bubbles and pets we wandered through pastures until the sun set. 

And now some of our previous work together...

"Shannon is so creative and made me feel very comfortable.  I had a lot of ideas for my senior portraits and she made sure they all happened and added more to match my style.  I'm a dancer and she caught all the right moments in my movement to make me look amazing."  -Darrien
