In the hustle and bustle of the end of senior year, there are countless moments to cherish and decisions to make. One of those decisions is to decide if you want to rush for a sorority in the fall of your freshman year at college. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Laine, a senior who discovered the importance of having professional photos for her rush application and decided to book a session with me.

Laine and her family hadn’t initially considered professional photos as a part of the rush application process. However, after speaking with her amazing sorority coach Stacia from Hiking in Heels, they realized how crucial it was to present high-quality images that truly captured Laine’s personality and style. That’s when they reached out to me, eager to ensure Laine’s photos would stand out in the competitive rush environment.

Laine is a bright and talented young woman, but like many of us, she wasn’t particularly fond of being in front of the camera. The idea of a portrait session made her a bit apprehensive, and she admitted to feeling nervous about the whole experience. My goal was to make her feel comfortable and confident, ensuring she would love the final results.

From the moment Laine arrived for her session, we focused on creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. We chose a beautiful outdoor location that complemented her style and personality, providing a variety of backdrops for her portraits. Throughout the session, I encouraged Laine to be herself, capturing both candid moments and posed shots that highlighted her natural beauty and charm.

As we progressed through the session, Laine’s initial nervousness began to fade. She started to relax, smile, and even enjoy the process. It was wonderful to see her confidence grow with each click of the camera. By the end of the session, Laine was laughing and fully embracing the experience, which was a joy to witness.

When Laine and her family saw the final photos, they were thrilled. The images beautifully captured her unique personality, her style, and her readiness for the exciting journey ahead. Laine was particularly pleased with how natural and confident she looked, and she expressed how glad she was to have taken the leap to get professional photos done.

Laine’s story is a great reminder of the value of professional photography, especially during such an important milestone. The photos not only enhanced her rush application but also provided her with cherished memories of her senior year.

For those preparing for sorority rush or any other significant event, investing in professional photos can make a world of difference. It’s about more than just having a beautiful picture; it’s about capturing the essence of who you are during this special time of your life.
