Cleveland TN Senior Photos

I met Emilie for the first time two years ago when I photographed her sister, Elena’s, high school senior session. SOMEHOW enough time has gone by for it to be Emilie’s turn! Funny enough, Emilie’s Cleveland TN senior photos session date was EXACTLY two years after from Elena’s session. To. The. Day. Ha!

It was so cool to get to reconnect with the Leyssens family in this way. 🙂 It is always so special to me when families continue to allow me to capture different stages of their lives. It is such a blessing to watch how everyone changes & grows while I photograph them throughout the years. The ARP fam truly is the best!

I’ve always enjoyed photographing senior sessions, because they’re excitement for the next season of life is so infectious! My time with Emilie was no different. I loved hearing about her dream of being a pediatric cardiologist and the paths she’s chosen to help her get there. I can tell that each decision Emilie makes is thoughtfully considered, and that she’s already made a BIG impact on the world, and her future won’t be any different. I just know she will accomplish anything she sets her mind to. I’m also certain she would make a wonderful pediatric cardiologist, with the best bedside manor. I’m sure you can tell by her sweet smiles in these photos, but trust me when I confirm she sure has a heart of gold!

Emilie, I hope you enjoy these previews of your Cleveland TN senior photos. I had a blast getting to know you more, trying not to slip in sludge, and laughing with you. I can’t wait to reconnect in a few years to hear how things are going. Please don’t be a stranger! <3
