There are some seniors who walk into a photo session with a clear vision of who they are and the little things that will add up to tell their story - and Essynse Smyth was exactly that kind of senior. π€
She's beginning her final year at Central Montcalm H.S. now, but I first met Essynse earlier this summer and I was immediately charmed by her gentle, ladylike manners. In so many of her photos I tried my best to capture her feminine (even often ethereal) yet confident spirit.
As a fellow lover of classic literature, writing, nature and the beauty of all things elegant, she was a girl after my own heart when she showed up with her books and tea sets. She dreams of one day owning her own bookstore and I can already picture the cozy business she'll create for people to enjoy.
Every detail of this session felt intentional to help showcase who she is now from her flute to her bible, everything was just right.
I loved getting to know Essynse and I look forward to her fall session. I know the autumn photos will be every bit as lovely as she is. ππ€
