The opportunity to meet another Bishop Blanchet senior led me to a new location. I met with Abbey and her mom, Gladys, two weeks ago at the Hiram M. Chittenden Ballard Locks and Gardens. I had heard of the Locks but had no idea of the park-like setting surrounding them. Not only was the location beautiful, but the weather was amazing.
We really couldn’t have asked for a lovelier evening. So many trees were in full bloom and that wonderful golden light sparkled in the background. These are the first images I captured and Abbey was completely at ease and so natural in front of the camera. She knocked the entire session out of the park. Keep scrolling!
Cheering on the Varsity Squad for football and basketball kept Abbey busy during the fall and winter sports seasons. It was fun to incorporate her cheer uniform into her session. With AP exams under her belt, she is currently focused on track and field where she competes for the Bishop Blanchet Braves in the high jump.
Gladys wasn’t keen on being photographed, but some gentle prodding got it done. I’m sure she and Abbey will both treasure this mother-daughter image.
The gardens just didn’t disappoint. As we walked through the park, one beautiful floral backdrop after another appeared.
One last outfit change and we finished the session at the historic Administration Building. Thank you, Abbey! I had a great time exploring the gardens with you and your mom. Your confidence in front of the camera let your natural beauty shine through! Enjoy the last two weeks of school, have a fantastic graduation celebration and all the best as you continue onto UW! Go dawgs!
