Hi! I'm Hope!

Alex is just the way she appears in the images below. Bright, and full of sunshine. She’s such a sweetheart to work with, & you can’t help, but smile. I made a pit stop, before her senior session, by the place she loves, & works at. Chick-fil-a of Mt. Airy. It was so hot & humid we needed a cool drink to start our session off with! You wouldn’t be able to tell, but about an hour before I made the pit stop, the sky darkened, and the bottom fell out(if you’re unfamiliar with that saying, it just means it rained really hard!).

Are you sensing a theme with every session I’ve done so far? The NC weather doesn’t want to cooperate with me. Even though rain threatened us the whole time, we had some amazing sunshine too. As our session started, she quickly became comfortable with my direction, & could rock a smize like nobody’s business! Pretty soon, “the smize”, became her signature in her images.

Alex you and your mom were so fun to work with! Your enthusiasm, and smile are contagious! You are such a joy to everyone around you, and you can light up a room just by walking in. I pray you get into your first chosen college, Appalachian State, and you get to pursue your dream! Never lose that spark, and smile sweet girl.

Enjoy!

Love,
