PART TWO IS HERE!! If you missed Part One of all my 2017 UVA Seniors, hop on over to this blog post here! Here are nine more seniors that I photographed at UVA during graduation season! If you look closely, one fabulous person happens to show up twice 🙂 You’re not just seeing double!

Introducing from left to right, Nicole, Dominique & Nikki!!

I loved taking these girls portraits so much! They were all super easy-going, ready to go with any suggestions I had and patient to wait out any times we had to wait a quick minute for prime photo spots. All of them have such gorgeous smiles and their group shots were super fun to take. Here’s a couple of my favorites from their session! They managed to pull off the most in-sync cap throw, not an easy feat!

Marisa & Christina

You can tell right away and from their pictures that Marisa & Christina are the best of friends! They were constantly laughing throughout their pictures together and we got some great shots even though our session went super quickly on a double-header day. Check out their gorgeous caps down below and their super fun outfit changes that we managed to squeeze in really quickly!

The last one on the right is definitely one of my new favorites! Such joy and fun 🙂

Sarah, Katie, Clare, Nikki & Riya!

Here are two familiar faces since I’d already taken Nikki & Riya’s portraits before but I got to take pictures of their entire group of girls together! They’re all in a sorority, Sigma Delta Tau, together and get to live with each other in their sorority house. I’d heard so much about them all from Riya and also had Sarah and Katie in one of my classes so it was nice to be taking pictures of a lot of familiar faces! I took some individual shots of Sarah, Katie & Clare since Nikki & Riya already had a bunch from before but my favorites from this shoot are definitely the ones we took of all five of them together. I made them all get super close together, more than they ever had before, with those #tendertouches which was hilarious 😀 And their champagne spray and pictures at the end are super fun! I can’t wait to see you guys again and battle it out on the dance floor with our bhangra moves sometime soon!!

Hehehe definitely my favorite slideshow!
