I knew Allison + I were going to get along just wonderfully as we emailed back + forth about her senior session in the weeks leading up to it. She was so mature, so genuinely excited to hang out with me (I was flattered at her kind words!!), + she wanted to incorporate peonies, Vogue magazines, + her dog, Sophie (who is a Yorkie-Poo just like Vivian!!!) in her session. Needless to say, it was a great evening : )

Allison is going to be a senior at Wausau West High School in Wausau, WI where she is very involved in the Vocal Music Department. Aside from school + typical teenager things, Allison loves fashion + actually sews her own dresses in her free time!! What?! Sewing is becoming such a lost art + it’s super inspiring to see such a talented young woman learn + master this skill!! Allison also really enjoys reading + listening to music to relax–I think I may just go do one or both of those things right now!! Sounds great to me!! : )

Finally, Allison’s dad is from Sri Lanka while her mom is from Japan, so as you might imagine, this girl has had many incredible opportunities to travel the WORLD visiting her family! And she loves traveling, so that works out well ; ) Enjoy the photos from her session + thanks for stopping by!! Oh! And Happy 4th of July!! To fireworks, sparklers, + cookouts! -M

It had seriously rained right before our session started, so we ended up shooting in some crazy-cool fog!! I love how Allison’s dress really pops in this setting!

So glad we found these flowers : )

A definite favorite!!!

Work it!!

LOVE both of these!!

You know I loved hanging out with little Sophie!!!

Ahhhhhh!! : P

Just gorgeous. 

Allison, you are a model!!

Another favorite : )
