Cypress Point Park & Ybor City Senior Session // Sydney Burns

WOWOWOW!! Sydney is seriously such a stunner!! I am so honored to have her on my team as an ABKP Senior Spokesmodel this year. We found the coolest field and also some really fun backdrops in Ybor City! I asked Sydney some questions to help you get to know her more! See her answers and her gorgeous images below: 

What High School do you attend?: HB Plant High School

What is your dream college?!: University of North Carolina

Tell me about yourself: :) What are you passionate about? What are you most excited for about senior year?: Hi, I'm Sydney! While most people find their passion in sports or scrapbooking, I find my passion in something a little different... people. I love any opportunity I have to work with, be around, or help people. I am an extreme extrovert and I need this interaction to thrive and work to the best of my ability. I volunteer a lot and am even the President of my service club because I find genuine joy in helping others. While senior year is a bit nerve wracking, trying to apply to college and seeing my childhood come to an end, I'm most excited to just really take in my last year. I have heard from every previous senior that the year goes by so quickly you don't even realize it and I just need to let myself take it in. I'm excited to see where the last four years of hard work places me and where it places all my friends. I'm excited for wherever this year brings me because I know a lot is going to happen very quickly.

What activities are you involved in at school? outside of school?: I'm involved in many things at Plant, but my two priorities are I am Coverage Editor of Yearbook and President of Anchor Service Club. I love being involved in both of these activities because I love interacting with the people in them. Whether it be at a service club project or a yearbook event, I love to immerse myself into these environments because of the constant interaction with others. I am a junior ambassador for the Children's Cancer Center in which I help advertise for their events around my school. I spend time every month volunteering there and playing with the kids. The fact that I am able to help bring a smile to their faces during a very difficult time for them truly makes me happy.

How would your best friend describe you?: I believe my best friends would describe me as hardworking and compassionate. I am always trying to be one step ahead of the game and put my 100% effort into everything I do and my friends make fun of me for it. I'm constantly hearing from them "Sydney chill out" because I never stop going. I have a strong intrinsic motivation that keeps me always doing something and most of my friends don't understand how. Even though I am always focused on the future and how I can work to make it better, I also love to spend time with my friends and help them out. I'm always there for them to listen to their problems and give the best advice I can give and I've gotten compliments from them about how easy I am to talk to (which made me pretty happy). When it comes to my friends I always prioritize being there for them when they need me because I believe life would be pointless without these relationships to help you keep going.

Fav Color :): Blue

Tampa Art Museum, Curtis Hixon Senior Session// Elizabeth Doney

Elizabeth is incredible! It was so easy to get to know her while walking in downtown Tampa with her and her girls. Her heart , dreams, goals, and passions are inspiring. We started at the Straz Center, which was super fitting for her personality because she has a true love for theatre. Elizabeth is the Thespian Troupe president at Plant High School as well as president of Youth in Government Club. Then we made our way over to the Tampa Museum of Art, which has some really cool walls and made for the neatest backdrops!! Elizabeth's dream college is Columbia in New York! I can't even wait to see her make her mark on this world!! Here are some of my favorites from her senior session :)

Fripp Island Resort, SC Senior Session// Rosemary

This is a sweet post for me, because my sister is one of my best friends. I just can't get over the fact that my little sister (as in 7 years younger was truly my baby doll growing up) is a SENIOR in high school. Maybe it's partially the acknowledgement that it will be 7 years since I graduated high school when she graduates, but man I feel like I'm holding back tears just typing this. She has become so beautiful inside and out, and is one of the best friends and sister a girl could ask for. So let me tell you about Rosemary, my twin or "mini me" with red hair (oops sorry I'm suppose to say strawberry blond ;) Rosemary is seriously amazing. She is smart, funny, sassy, yet kind, and loves her family and Jesus so well. On top of being in challenging classes in school, she is a swimmer, a musician, and really anything else she sets her mind to be. I always joke when describing Rose to my friends as the sassier version of me, which its true. I wish i could think as fast on my feet as she can, or do really cool Russian accents that have people rolling on the floor laughing.

It's your year Rose. Take a moment to breathe in and out and remember that God has incredible plans for you. I can't wait to see all the things you accomplish, the lives you touch, and the journey God has for you. We are your biggest cheerleaders!! Love you!

Oxford Exchange, Palmia Ceia Golf Course Senior Session// Carson Collins

When I met Carson for the first time it was as if we had known each other forever! She definitely is such a people person and immediately we clicked! We started off at Oxford Exchange with the beautiful white walls that make her stand out and then moved over to University of Tampa with the classic brick and greenery. We ended in her backyard with lots joy and glitter! So fun!! The whole time we were together talking she was just telling me of all her dreams and plans for after high school. She just recently had been accepted into her dream school Notre Dame, and is ecstatic to be attending there in the fall! Carson, keep shining girl! The Lord has some incredible plans for you!

Downtown Tampa Garage Rooftop Senior Session// Rebekah

"She is clothed in strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future." -Proverbs 31: 25. How beautiful is this verse and the meaning behind it. This session is quickly becoming one of my most recent favorites, just because of how joyful Rebekah is, how cool it was to shoot on a roof top of a parking garage with the Tampa skyline in the background, and her mom made her a floral crown.. I mean, come on.
