Where I grew up, it was common for girls to have a grad dress portrait session. I have wanted to offer that same type of session for girls in Victoria, but it doesn’t seem to be as big of a niche here yet. (Wow, that means Port Alberni is actually ahead of the game for something! Crazy.)

This year, I thought the perfect opportunity to get started in that niche was to see if Jessica and some of her friends would be up for hanging out in front of my camera. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it ended up being incredibly fun and we spent a lot longer than I’d expected hanging out and taking pictures. The time just flew by, and it shouldn’t be hard to see the fun that was had! Congratulations Jessica, Kathleen, Katie, and Cuilean on your graduation! Wishing you happy and safe adventures on life after high school!

Big thanks to Ed & Val for letting us use your beautiful backyard, even though I forgot to warn you. And thank you Danielle for all your help getting the girls ready. Thank you Megan for use of the lovely tea set. And credit to the amazing Flowers on Top (specifically Marina) for an amazing bouquet!
