THE REQUEST
The concept of this photo was to create a scene where the client would feel beautiful for her Arizona State University Graduation photos. She is studying to be a nurse and will be graduating in December, 2021. During this session, we tried many poses to which these 3 photos stood out to me the most. I took this photo is San Tan Valley, Arizona.
