{BRIENNA}
BRIGHTON HIGH SCHOOL
2021
Brienna knew she wanted a location with a meadow, wildflowers, and water, and I immediately knew the PERFECT spot for her senior photos in Ann Arbor. It had everything she was envisioning, and more! Her session fell on a warm August evening with the most beautiful golden glowy sunset. We couldn’t have asked for more.
I had so much fun taking Brie’s senior photos! Her session included a fall (me, not her), a jump scare (me being clumsy, again), a dead turtle (gross), and lots of laughs from all of us. It was eventful, in a good way. Ha ha!
