The first time I photographed Maddie was when she was 1 day old in the hospital! Then she grew up, moved away for a while with her family, and just recently returned to Lakeland. Which meant I had the sincere privilege of capturing her senior photos! It was so amazing to see her again, so beautiful and grown up, and to catch up with her mom. Maddie’s older brother and sister were actually some of the VERY first kids I ever photographed when I was first learning photography. Her mom let me use them as my guinea pigs, even though 20 years ago I wasn’t even sure how well I would do working with kids and families. This session was very much a full circle moment for me in so many ways.

Congratulations Maddie and welcome home to your whole family!
