portraits of Abbey : 2015 senior || iowa city, ia portrait photographer

This has to be hands down one of my top favorite senior sessions to date..

photographing Abbey just felt so effortless and like a fairytale.

You'll be able to see why looking through these images. :)

Obviously she is incredibly gorgeous, but add to that her fabulous props,

the vision she had for the shoot, her sweet personality, an overcast day, Anthropologie dress..

basically I was a HUGE fan of everything.

Abbey's family is so much fun..her older sister Liz was actually my 'first hired client' 

awhile back when I did her senior pictures.

Crazy how fast the last few years have gone by since then -- 

but lets stop talking about that before I feel old, ha! :) 

Enjoy my MANY favorites of this girl.. (I do not apologize for the excessive amount) :P

and I'd love to hear which ones are YOUR favorite in the comments!!

you know it's going to be an awesome shoot when you pull up to the meeting spot,  and vintage cars are just sitting around right there. #nobigdeal
We were shooting here right off the side of the road, and had THREE different cars stop and ask us if we were okay!! Which kind of cracked me up because she was in a formal dress, standing in front of wildflowers, and I had a camera in hand..but that's small town Iowa for ya. ;) It's not every day you get to photograph Susan Pevensie either. :) seriously, how cool is this outfit?! And you guys would not believe how buggy it was in this spot..like mosquito national convention or something. We lasted approximately 7 minutes in here, and then ran for the car..literally!!

love,
H. Elise
