Madison's Senior Portraits at Frenchman's Forest

Senior Portraits at Frenchman's Forest in Palm Beach Garden, Florida

On April 25th, I had the pleasure of capturing Madison's senior portraits at Frenchman's Forest in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Madison had her heart set on having a whimsical session in the woods. But, as we all know, the woods can be hard to come by in Florida. After searching and searching she came across a gem in the middle of Palm Beach Gardens. I had never even heard of the park. But she found the spot she was searching for! And, boy! Was it worth the search!

Our session started in this perfect location with the sun peeking through the surrounding trees. Madison stood out so beautifully against this lush backdrop with her gorgeous hair and her lovely smile. She wore a deep purple dress that blended so well with the location. And she added her cowgirl boots to the mix to give a touch of her style.

I first met Madison many years ago at our church when she was just a little one! I remember her sweet little face in children's choir when I was helping to lead the group. It is hard to believe that she is graduating High School already! As we were walking during her session she told me about her goals and plans. I am so proud of the strong, driven, and smart, young lady she has become!

Frenchman's Forest was such a great location choice!

Chloe's Palm Beach Senior Portraits

Palm Beach Senior Portraits

On Wednesday, January 11th, I had the pleasure of capturing Chloe's Palm Beach senior portraits. Joy and laughter filled this session. We strolled the street of Worth Avenue together capturing lifestyle photos along the way.

When Chloe and her mom, Kelly, first reached out to me I was quite flattered. Kelly told me that they had been following my work on Instagram for over a year and Chloe had dreamt of her Senior portrait session in Palm Beach with me! However, I felt even more flattered when she told me she lives in North Carolina and would be making the trip to Florida primarily for this! Needless to say, I was very excited to meet and work with them both.

Just as I thought, we instantly connected. Right away I felt like I had known them for years! I love how this passion of mine that I get to call my "job" allows me to meet new friends all over the country!

Chloe was such a pleasure to work with and her radiant smile filled every frame with so much joy. The session took place on colorful Palm Beach and Chloe's Lilly Pulitzer outfits fit the scene perfectly. This shoot was one of my favorite portrait shoots to date and you're about to see why!

Chloe and Kelly, thank you so much for choosing me to capture such an important season of life! It was a complete honor working with you both! I look forward to working with you again! I hope you enjoy your portraits!
