These are the last of my senior pictures so far and I love the 1950's look so much too! We took these pictures in a small picturesque town called 'Paris' and I love how they turned out (even though we ended up taking more pictures of the town than senior pictures).

While we were taking the pictures at the church I noticed that there was a group of people across the street also taking pictures of me which I thought was odd. One had even crossed the street to get a better shot. My Mother and I brushed it off assuming that they were trying to get better shots of the church and its gorgeous architecture. Once I changed into this outfit we began to roam around the town taking pictures. At one point my Mom stopped me and had me sit outside the window of a little cafe. While my Mom was taking my pictures there one of the people that I had noticed taking my picture earlier got right behind her and was taking pictures. My mom noticed and kind of stepped to the side but he continued to take pictures! I had no idea what to do, so I just kept posing and he kept taking shots. Awkward.

When he finished he said 'Thank you" in a very European accent, then walked away. 

Also I recently got an instagram account! If you want to follow my name is cocobirdy_amour

More senior pictures!  These were taken at a new location- a gorgeous old church. The architecture was absolutely stunning because there was so much attention to detail. I  love how the colors ended up looking as well.

Let me know which location and which photos you prefer!

More Senior Pictures! 

I am so thankful for the wonderful opportunity that I had to go out with my Mother and do these. We are very close and it was a wonderful opportunity for her to pull her camera out. My favorite part about doing these photos with my Momma was our many inside stories. Every once in a while she would pause taking photos for a moment, and say something that only I would understand. I then would start laughing, and that is where some of my best photos come from. She made me comfortable, and she allowed me to choose what I wanted to wear and how I wanted everything styled. 

Even as I was editing these photos I would occasionally remember something that she said, or the hilarious positions that she had to get into to get a shot. (Although I must admit being terrified that a mouse is going to run on one of us wasn't very funny...)

I was so happy that I was able to take photos in this location. The lake and mountain view was stunning, and I loved this bus! It was sad though, because last time we were here it was in much better shape. Since then lots of things have been broken and ripped apart. There was broken glass everywhere. I think I loved this bus, however, because I adore things that have stories, and abandoned places always leave me questioning What was the story?? 

If you too are an enthusiast of abandoned places this link has some of the most amazing photographs that I have ever seen. I saw it the other day and became obsessed! I especially love the photo of the bedroom with all of the clothing. The house is beautiful, and the letters, photographs, clothing, and other personal possessions leave me questioning who were these people?

Hopefully you love these photographs as much as I do, and enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
