A is originally from Ohio, currently attending the University of Minnesota and doing a student exchange program with the University of Hawaii. She reached out to me on my website requesting an Oahu Senior Portraits Photographer to do a college graduation portrait session.
I was confused at first because although I've done senior sessions in the past, I've never really advertised it. And for a student from a university on the mainland to find me, I was even more confused, lol.
Digging a little deeper, I later found out that A actually knew who I was. Although we've never met in person, she heard a lot about me because we had a common link... she was the niece of my husband's Uncle and Aunt back in Michigan. A has seen my work before and thought it would be cool to have me take her senior portraits and gift Uncle S and Aunt C two gifts: 1. Graduation pictures 2. Pictures shot by me! And that's how a senior session with me was born!
Since A loved nature and the mountain setting, I knew the perfect spot for her session. We met for the first time at her session and she was the sweetest ever! We connected instantly and that made for such a fun shoot. She was easy going and open to so many ideas that I had. I loved it! She's a communication major who is very involved in sports. Name the sport, she had ties to them. From athletes to cheer team to broadcasting team... she was involved in all aspect of each sport. A was a huge football fan, just like me! So of course, it was only fitting for us to be in the same location, shooting just a few feet away, from Marcus Mariota, QB for the Oakland Raiders, as he was filming a commercial for a local insurance company. What a great ending to a great session!
