So I've decided to start a regualr series of posts featuring some of my favorite sessions. So naturally I'm kicking it off with Chiara. She was clearly not your typical high school senior. She has stunning raw beauty and a whimsical personality to go with it. She marches to her own drum. A gifted artist, she makes a lot of her own clothing and all of her jewelry. I first noticed her a s a junior, on stage in one of the school's musicals. Although she was in costume with theatrical make up, I could tell just how insanely beautiful she is. Her senior year came and almost went. I was bummed that she had not called me to do her senior pics. I later found out that she hadn't done any at all. For her yearbook, she simply submitted a snap shot that a friend had taken. Funny thing is that simple snap shot was better than most senior pics. Because it is simply Chiara. I ran into her at the coffee house next door one Sunday morning and asked what she was doing all day. We both were working, her on homework and myself on paperwork. Neither wanted to be doing those chores, so I asked her to go throw some outfits together and come back. The next hour was one of the most amazing shooting experiences of my career.
