Christina: Senior Portrait Session

Christina is a beautiful, talented 16 year old girl...she attends Dreyfoos School of the Arts and is majoring in Visual Arts...she also got a scholarship to attend an art school for five weeks this summer!...this talented, young lady will definitely go far in life...when we started the shoot i thought we would be confined inside my studio (thanks to florida's summer rain)...but we lucked out, because the rain stopped and we were able to take some beautiful shots outdoors...it was so easy to capture Christina's natural beauty...I am excited to unveil my first Senior Portrait Collection...Christina...enjoy!
