We LOVE high school seniors. L-O-V-E them. Like, a lot. Because we kind of want to be them again. Get a do-over, ya know? We met in high school, so we wouldn’t change that, but we’d change everything else. And fast. Britney Spears half tops. Out! Baggy jeans. Gone! Frosted tips and puka shells. Back to Hawaii, boys! Oh… if we could go back, Internet, if we could go back… We wouldn’t do our senior photos sitting on a plastic sculpture of our graduation year, that’s for sure! Or any pictures holding our chins like this. (Stop and click the link. It’s worth it.)
So, even though we’re wedding photographers, we love working with high school seniors, too. For a lot of reasons. The obvious ones? They’re fun, sweet as pie, more fashionable than us, and they laugh a lot. A lot. The less obvious reason, the painful one that’s buried deep in our hearts? We’re passionate about saving other seniors from embarrassing photos sitting on their plastic sculpture graduation years and posing like gorillas (see funny link above); we’re redeeming our 18-year-old selves through them. Because no one should have to look back at their senior photos and wonder, Was the world always sepia?
Enter the lovely Veronica.
In just a few months, she’ll walk the Desert Mountain graduation stage and take her Arizona sunshine to San Francisco, where she’ll attend college on a volleyball scholarship. But, before she does that, she spent some time laughing with us, smiling for our cameras, and reminding us just how good life can be when you’re eighteen, one of the rare times in life when you can have the time of your life and your whole life in front of you at the exact same time…
