Sophia's fashion forward (& throwback!) portrait session

Foothill High School Senior portrait session with Samantha Grant Photography in Pleasanton CA
For Sophia's photoshoot we did our pre-session consultation, like always, and she sketched out a few ideas for her outfits.  But I have to say that I had no idea (based on what she described) how cute her looks would turn out. But you'll see...In the mean time, let me actually tell you about Sophia.

Sophia volunteers at Sage Veterinary Hospital because she'd like to be a vet.  "The vets there are super nice," she explained.  Total roll models.  They've actually allowed her to do observations in the operating room.  "How is that?" I asked.  "It sounds like it could be intense?"  ​

"The first time I nearly passed out," she admitted.  But after that it was fine. Her plan is to go to either U of O or OSU and major in general science before going to vet school.  ​

Sophia was on the cheerleading team this fall but is super excited to have more free time now that it's over.  She's got time to go to basketball games and is contemplating getting a job in retail. ​

Sophia's mom, Danette, dubbed this tree "the fake tree" because, she explained, "the texture of it looked too perfectly rough to be real." I will forever think of it as The Fake Tree.
So this was a complete fluke: I asked Sophia to lay her head down on her arms on a table for one of the shots.  And her mom Danette exclaimed, "Hang on a second! We have a similar shot from when she was a little kid!"  So I took the shot, and later that night Danette texted me this lovely picture that they think was taken around when Sophia was in 4th grade.  Amazing, right?

This got me thinking-- are there any shots that YOU would love to recreate?  What a fun concept...count me in!
