My kids are just about at the age when they no longer need a babysitter. Not too long ago, babysitters were part of my lifeline, and Lauren was one of our very best. My husband and I would come home from a date night and my daughter could not wait to show off whatever elaborate braid Lauren had created…and then refuse to take it out for two days. Even after we no longer needed babysitters, she would ask me…but can’t she just come over and do my hair??

Now this beautiful girl is all grown up and part of the Class of 2020. A class that got their prom stolen from them, their last 2 months of time at school with friends..and almost graduation. We were not about to let Covid take her senior pictures away, although it sure did try.

Our first date got rained out, and so we put a random date on the calendar for the middle of March. What was supposed to be Spring Break turned into what is currently week 14 of a 24 week summer….let’s hope it’s only 24, anyways. Our session ended up falling on a Wednesday afternoon, shortly after social distancing became a thing but before the Stay at Home order was issued for our area. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to social distance for a senior photo session! I brought out my long lens and we got to work. I was thrilled to get to play with a few new locations close to my house, that I LOVED. They were completely different from each other, so it was fun to throw in some outfit changes to compliment each location.
