Dark storm clouds in the distance. A forecast of thunderstorms. And no time to reschedule.

Seems to be the common thread running throughout the Spring this year.

But I love it when the forecast is wrong…or at least delayed.

Lesley is a senior from Coppell High School, is a member of the Coppell HS Band, and a student in the International Baccalaureate program. Lesley is also one of my Class of 2015 Senior Models.

Lesley will be attending the University of Dayton in the Fall to pursue a degree in Music Therapy.

We shot Lesley’s Dallas Art District senior portraits in Downtown Dallas around the Dallas Museum of Art, the Crow Collection of Asian Art, the Meyerson Symphony Center (where Lesley got to play), and the Winspear Opera House. The Dallas Arts District is a great location if you’re looking for a variety of urban spaces with some greenery.

Lesley is stunning in red. She brought her red lace prom dress to her shoot and it was the perfect way to end her senior portraits. Her prom dress coordinated perfectly with the red signage at the Winspear Opera House…just as the winds picked up and the skies threatened precipitation.

Want to incorporate your prom dress or favorite special occasion gown? Bring it to your senior portrait session and give your shoot a little extra personality.
