I’ve known Nadia for quite a long time. I believe she was six years old when I first photographed her? Something like that. I’ve had the great privilege and delight of documenting her family over the years!

I was honored when her mom Heather got in touch to hire me again to capture Nadia as she enters her senior year of high school. So exciting! She had the lovely idea of having her session at the New England Botanical Gardens in Boylston. The challenge was we could only do the session at 3PM, because the gardens closed at 5. Why is this a challenge? Bright hot sun!

But with Heather’s help taking on the reflector, and Nadia ever-present energy to get the shot, we made a really nice collection together, I think.

I hope you have the best year ever, Nadia!
