This was a new experience for me as a  Senior Photographer. When I asked Hannah and her mom if she had any high school hobbies she might like to include in her senior portrait, and she answered fencing, I encouraged her to bring her uniform and we would try some fun shots out at the end of the session.

It was hard for me to believe that this beautiful and sweet girl had a skill that involved waving a steel weapon at an opponent. Hannah was laid back and  a natural in front of the camera, resulting in a number of different types of shots and we had fun exploring downtown Vienna with her friend and sister (who were helpful at bringing out natural expressions).

I was eager to get this post out today, in honor of Hannah’s mom’s birthday. Happy birthday Judy, this is going to be a special year for both you and your daughter. Enjoy it all!
