Ryleigh’s senior session did not happen exactly as planned, but honestly, it turned out even better than we could have imagined. We ended up getting rained out on her originally scheduled date, so we made the call to move her session to Saturday morning instead.

Now, I will be the first to admit that waking up early on a weekend is not always my favorite thing. But this morning? It was so worth it. The location was peaceful and quiet with hardly anyone around, the light was soft and dreamy, and there was that unmistakable smell of waffles hanging in the air from nearby breakfast spots. It was one of those mornings that just feels calm and happy.

Ryleigh was such a pleasure to work with. She was relaxed, kind, and completely at ease in front of the camera, which made the session flow effortlessly. Morning sessions have a different kind of magic, and Ryleigh fit right into it with her easy smile and positive energy.

One of the best parts about moving the session to the morning was that we wrapped up early and still had the rest of the day ahead of us. Sometimes a change in plans leads to something even better, and Ryleigh’s senior session was a perfect example of that.

I am so glad we didn’t let a little rain get in the way of creating beautiful senior photos. This session was calm, joyful, and absolutely worth the early alarm.
