Bayli is graduating!  This session is very close to my heart as she has been my best friend for 8 years!  This gal is absolutely beautiful, inside & out.  She's an AMAZING artist, a professional coffee drinker ;), and on the volleyball court she's a beast.  Bayli is also one of the most loyal people you will ever meet & is always ready to lend a helping hand (like at the wedding I photographed last week!).  Thanks for the years of crazy adventures + late night laughs + baking 'till we drop.  Congratulations on being a 2017 graduate, babe.  I can't wait to see your bright future unfold.  Love ya!    

On a less sappy note, Bayli's senior session was the BOMB.  We explored a sketchy spot in Hendersonville, a Starbucks, Downtown Asheville, & the Blue Ridge Parkway.  The lightning was fabulous & I definitely have some photographs from that day that will remain favorites forever.  Enjoy + leave some love for Bayli in the comments!    

The above mentioned "sketchy" spot.  It was worth it!  

The wind worked in our favor.  Look at that hair!! 

Bayli LOVES coffee, so I suggested taking a few photos in Starbucks.  People may have thought we were crazy, but it was SO fun & I adore the way these images turned out.

FAVORITE!!!

We couldn't NOT take some photos with this water tower + graffiti walls!  

Another favorite....Girl Power!

Bayli made this awesome banner...I told you she was talented.

Bayli has some of the coolest hair EVER.  This ivy wall really made it pop!

To finish out the day we headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway!  That was quite an adventure in itself...we actually got asked if the car had broken down.  Nope...we're just a crazy photographer and a curly haired girl wandering around the side of the highway! ;) 

That laugh!! 

There may or may not have been a tumble off of this log after we snapped these photos.  Maybe........

Thankfully, no serious injuries were sustained!  ;)
