Sonora Senior Portraits | Eighth Grade Grad | Christine Dibble Photography

Sonora senior portraits are not just limited to high school seniors. Eighth grade graduates and college graduates come for portrait sessions as well. Madeline has been in front of my camera often, and I always have fun with her because she is up for anything at all. She can be a real tomboy at times, so I loved having this chance to photograph her in a very feminine session. Her friend, Kristen (seen here, and here), ran a hair and make-up trial on the day of the shoot, and we just wandered around Sonora to play with the light and scenery. I felt like I was following a princess!  (The full body image of her looking away was featured as a weekly favorite on Lemonade and Lenses.)Sonora senior portrait photographer Christine Dibble Photography takes portraits of an eighth grade graduate in a formal gown at an abandoned house.
