This is Makayla.  We met her on Campus at Stetson University in Deland, FL while doing a graduate portrait session for another client.  As we were finishing up our session, she approached us and asked us if we had a card.  We immediately loved her spunky, out-going personality.  We said hello, gave her our card, and she contacted us that evening to do her own shoot the following evening. 

We loved her spontaneity!  She had some fun ideas, and we incorporated those in our session.  Her gown was different; we wondered why.  She explained she just graduated with her MBA.  That's short for a Master in Business Administration degree.  Her gown had a special hood, the arms had special wings.  It stood out, to be sure.  Once we understood this, we wanted to capture all that it stood for.  She did it.  She accomplished her hard-working goal.  These photographs capture all the confidence of Makayla's accomplishments & aspirations.  Her cap was custom painted with the quote: "She believed she could, so she did."  It had yellow flowers and bees.  She's unique that way.  She loves what she loves, and that includes the environment.  We like that about her!!  Here are just some of our favorites from her portrait session.

Makayla, we had so much fun with you!  I mean, you actually got in the fountain at the end of the shoot!.  You go, girl.  You were a breeze to photograph, and you are so photogenic.  We hope you love your photographs for a lifetime.  We look forward to seeing you again in the future.  We wish you all the best.
