Graduation Photos

Graduation from any life event is such a surreal time. On one hand, you’re excited that all of the hard work is over. There’s also grief that comes with leaving a moment in time you will never get back. Then there’s either an existential crisis or an excitement over the question “what’s next?!”

So How do we deal with all of these emotions? a photoshoot, of course!!

Jaidon has an eye for fashion. when i arrived, she brought out her outfits, shoes and walked me through how comfortable she is with wearing makeup and how she would like to wear her hair. She’s a natural beauty that does not like to see a lot of makeup on her face. I went with a golden/ peachy tones that would brighten up areas of her beautiful face and short individual lashes that are almost undetectable but really open up the eye. She warned me that her hair does not always hold a curl so we went with a textured beach wave that would not look sad if it fell a little.
