Magda is the niece of a long time friend of mine who contacted me about a lifestyle senior session a couple weeks ago.  I really can’t say this enough, but I think lifestyle sessions are so versatile and beautifully real for any occassion.  We met up at Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota and spent a couple of hours outdoors chasing the beautiful light and breeze.  One of the most rewarding aspects about photographing people is that in just a few short frames, I can gain insight into their personality, their interests, and their style.  Magda has a captivating innocence that glows everytime she laughs.  Even though she is only seventeen years old, she is classy, calm, and completely down-to-earth.

I’m honored that she asked me to photograph her to document this stage in her life.  I hope that when she looks back at these images years from now, she will remember her simple and carefree life at seventeen.  As one chapter ends, another begins.  Congratulations Magda!
