What does a "SENIOR SESSION" give you?
Senior sessions have come a long way since my '92 graduation from high school...
My mother had my "mirror reflection, pink pastel hoop earring, frosted edged" senior picture hanging in my childhood home until I begged her to take it down once I had my first "teaching job" yearbook pic.
Senior pictures back then rather "dated" you...with their iconic grad year pillars and laser lighted backdrops...
Fast forward just a bit...
Senior sessions today are more about an experience that draws out the essence of a person...it's about telling the story of a life ready to embark on an independent journey into adulthood. It's the culmination of the first 18 (or so) years of life that has helped to form the PERSON...
It's that time where mom & dad (if they haven't already begun to do so) begin the process of truly letting go...Sure college or trade school may lie ahead, but this is the beginning of the end of a "dependent child to parent" relationship...
Senior sessions are a GIFT...a gift that a young adult gives to their parents as a reflection & thank you to all they have become...and a gift from mom & dad to their senior as a time to celebrate the heart, the choices, the WHO they growing to BE...
What does a SENIOR SESSION with CT PhotoMemories give you???
