As the golden hour approached, casting a warm, ethereal glow over the landscape, I found myself at The Patch on 37 in Alexandria, Ohio, ready to capture some precious memories for a monumental year. This particular session was special, as it was for Abbey May—a young woman I've watched grow up, form wonderful friendships, and shine in competitive cheerleading. Now, it was time to capture her senior portraits, celebrating the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

The Patch on 37, a charming sunflower field, provided the perfect backdrop for Abbey's senior photos. With sunflowers stretching as far as the eye could see, their vibrant yellow petals contrasting beautifully with Abby's blue sundress, the setting was nothing short of magical. The golden hour light enhanced the natural beauty of the flowers and created a soft, flattering glow that added a timeless quality to the photos.

As we moved through the sunflower fields, Abbey's true beauty and spark shone through in every shot. Her smile, radiant and genuine, reflected her inner joy and excitement for the future. Her style, a mix of elegance and fun, showcased her personality perfectly. Each photo captured a different facet of who she is—her strength, her grace, her joy, and her anticipation for the adventures ahead. It's moments like these that remind me why I love what I do—capturing the precious memories that make up the monumental years of life.
