Seniors

Allison Judge Senior Session

Let me tell you, this past week has been a whirlwind of seasons. As we had a pause in the freezing rain we were able to head over to the Grand Ravines in Allendale to capture Allison’s senior session. You’ll notice that there is snow on the ground and surprisingly this was better temps than the day before.

Allison is a senior at Allendale High School where she is involved in choir and musicals. Upon meeting her and her mom I realized that her mom works at a school in which I was a paraprofessional at years ago. Allison had come across my business on Instagram and wanted to reach out. It’s crazy to see how small this world really is once you start to connect with someone.

Allison I hope to see you in town again soon. Although it was very cold I really enjoyed getting to know you at your session.
