Wow, I've been photographing this wonderful human since she was 2 WEEKS old !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤩

It's been a whirlwind Zoe!!!!!!! From the first time I pulled up in Whitesburg and chased you down the path pretending to catch butterflies,  to watching you blossom into the beautiful young woman you are, knowing you through my lens has been such a blessing to my life. 

Your beautiful curls, your love of animals, and your choice in music, are just some of the things I love about you.

Our PHOTO sessions have BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE!  We have done ballet, well, you have, and snapped everything imaginable for Christmas pictures. We've been through 4 studios now together. We've been at your houses, offices, and mine. We even turned my tiny bathroom into a "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" session for your mom's office! Remember to Brush, Floss, Rinse, Repeat! 

We have belly laughed, pouted, cried, compromised, diva'd, spun, twirled, jumped, splashed, ran, driven, gossiped, walked and talked, and most of all, smiled. We have gone from talking about little girl things to more adult topics, LOL. 

Doing your senior session was something I have always looked forward to. Having the benefit of knowing you for so long made it easy, super fun,  and all about you.

Embarking on her next chapter at Northern Kentucky University, majoring in criminology, Zoe Karelis reflects on her senior portrait experience with Suzanne with profound admiration. Hailing from Eastern Kentucky, Zoe cherishes the close-knit communities and bountiful nature that have shaped her. During her senior photo session, Zoe was captivated by Suzanne's ability to capture her interests and personality in each shot, especially the vibe while using creative lighting The picturesque scenery of Eastern Kentucky served as the perfect backdrop, mirroring Zoe's vision seamlessly.

A surprising fun fact about Zoe - she embraces her Greek heritage with pride, adding a unique layer to her vibrant personality.

For Zoe, the most challenging aspect of being a senior was deciding on her future academic path and the right college for the next four years. However, the highlight of her senior year has been the relationships built with dedicated teachers over the past four years, a testament to the nurturing environment she comes from.

One of Zoe's favorite products from the session was the photos taken outdoors amidst the leaves, where the flawless lighting perfectly encapsulated the vibe she was aiming for. The pre-session prep, including shopping links and FAQs, proved highly useful in preparing for the photo shoot, ensuring a seamless experience.

Describing Suzanne's talent to a friend unfamiliar with her work, Zoe would emphasize how Suzanne has consistently captured her true essence in photos throughout her life. Despite the plethora of senior photographers available, Zoe's unwavering trust in Suzanne stems from never having her photos taken by anyone else before. In Zoe's eyes, Suzanne's ability to depict her personality in every frame makes her the go-to choice for unforgettable senior portraits.

I love you Zoe and I can't wait to see what you do with your beautiful life. 😘
