A few weeks ago I was contacted by O’s mother to do some pictures of her oldest daughter who would soon be leaving for school.  I had done a newborn session for someone the family knew and they were interested in having me come out for photos as well.  I met them at the beautiful East Sandwich beach out on Cape Cod – truly stunning location.  I would love to shoot there much more often (road trip, anyone?)  Rocks, dunes, sand the softest you have ever felt and of course the water.  And then I got to add into all of the the absolutely gorgeous O.  She had already graduated from high school a few weeks prior, but mom and dad wanted some photos to give to grandparents and family.

In a day and age where teenagers seem to be growing up so quickly and 18 year olds look more like 25 or older, it was so refreshing to see such a natural beauty who somehow exuded youthfulness and quiet elegance at the same time.  I had such a great time shooting her session – I mean how could I not??  Fabulous location, great light, a willing, stunning participant and a fun family.  Enjoy, O and family and best of luck at school – you’re going to do great!!
