Not only does she play a mean game of softball, but this senior has the cutest style and fashion taste, gorgeous eyes, and the kind of smile that lights up her whole face.  Lisa is a classic beauty!  She lives up in Akron but made a trip to Youngstown for her portrait session, and I’m so glad she made the drive!  The stone architecture of Pioneer Pavilion and green landscape fresh from the rain gave us the perfect backdrop for portraits.  Our rainy afternoon led to a beautiful clear evening, with unbeatable lighting!  I have to take a second to give a shoutout to Tiffany, Lisa’s cousin and my old roommate.  Tiff came along to her cousin’s session, and she was willing to be my assistant for the day manning the reflector!  I need to somehow get behind-the-scenes shots of my sessions sometime so you all can see how crazy we look.  I’m pretty sure at one point that Tiff was hanging off of a stone wall one-handed with our reflector perfectly positioned to give me the best lighting on Lisa’s face.  What a trooper!  You rock Tiff!  Hey, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get the shot ;)  Lisa, you are such a natural beauty and talented young lady, I hope you enjoy your senior year and are ready for the wonderful adventures that college brings!

Lisa brought both of these dresses along with her and couldn’t decide which to wear, so we just wore both! :)

Love this idea!  Lisa brought along a photo of her from when she was a little girl, I think you can TOTALLY tell that this is Lisa!  What a cute kid!

Lisa is an avid reader, we had some fun incorporating her interests into her shoot.
