When Gracelynn’s mom reached out to do her senior pictures I was so excited. Gracelynn’s mom, Traelynn is a hairstylist that I’ve worked with on shoots in the past and I’ve also had the pleasure of photographing her for her new hair salon in White Sulphur.
When scouting out some different spots we decided that the Greenbrier State Forest would be the best place for photos since Gracelynn wanted some water and field photos.
We started with the water photos which was a lot of fun. There’s a great little spot when you first go into the Greenbrier State Forest to park. On the side of the road there was a little creek which turned out to be a great spot for photos.
Fall is probably my favorite time of year and it’s also a time that I don’t get to enjoy with free time a lot. So I really enjoy sessions like this where I get to just loosen up and be myself.
Our last spot was the tall grass towards the back of Greenbrier State Forest. This was my favorite spot from the whole day. Jake lovingly carried the heavy chair up the hill for us.
I love the photos we got up here. The ones that Jake took look like they come out of a magazine!
This year was the first time I’ve ever been to a Greenbrier State Forest and I definitely know that next year it will be one of my main spots that we photograph.
When we got back to our cars I realized that I left my bag all the way up the hill in the middle of the tall grass. So once again Jake ran back up the hill to get the bag that I forgot.
We had so much fun photographing Gracelynn. I was so excited when I sent the pictures. Her mom loved them just as much as I do!
