Can you share any post-processing techniques used when editing this session?

What is your favorite thing about this session?
Alysa is very natural in front of the camera, so it was very pleasant and easy to work with her. Her mom was so helpful throughout the process. Fort De Soto Park, St. Petersburg, FL is a great place for a photo shoot with so many options.

What do you want this session to convey about this senior and about your senior photography style?
Beautiful light, a real connection with my client, and a lot of fun – these are the 3 things I try to capture in my photography.

What is one tip you can share with other photographers regarding photographing seniors?
I always say that if I want people to open up to me, I need to open up to them. Let their inner beauty and youthfulness shine through in front of the camera. Senior sessions are just so much FUN!
