Senior Portraits Ashli – MHS – Class of 2016

 Ashli | Monticello High School – 2016

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! I am woefully behind on adding senior portrait sessions to my website so I figured it was high time to get busy! Last fall was my busiest time ever and I am honored that so many people have chosen me to take their senior portraits in the Charlottesville area!

Tonight on my blog we have Ashli, beautiful senior from Monticello High School’s Class of 2016. I first met Ashli and her mother Tammy when I took her yearbook photo over the summer.  They also scheduled an outdoor session for the fall which I encourage. Yearbook photos are great but outdoor senior portraits are where you really let your style shine through!

Ashli wanted to have her session at the Darden School of business in Charlottesville, Va which happens to be one of my favorites. It’s such a fabulous location…tons of columns, brickwork and beautiful landscaping all in one small area!

It was a beautiful fall afternoon and the weather was gorgeous. Speaking of gorgeous, holy cow Ashli, you looked absolutely amazing!

I loved the outfits that she brought with her. They were the perfect mix of dressy and casual…and those boots! I swear I wanted to keep them for myself! 🙂

You never know what’s going to happen when you add the family pet into a few photos but thank goodness Smokey decided to cooperate for this shot!

I almost started drooling when I saw this Burberry shawl. The style and colors went perfectly with the fall leaves! Man Ashli…you have the best smile!

Last shot of the night and hands down my favorite from the session. We must have looked crazy while taking this shot. I was balancing on a bench while Tammy and Savannah (my awesome assistant) dropped leaves on Ashli! It was well worth it though! 🙂

Thank you so much for a fabulous afternoon Ashli and Tammy! I had so much fun with you guys. Ashli, good luck at JMU…I know you’ll have a fabulous time and wish you nothing but the best!

CLASS of 2017 – Though I do have a few winter openings available both in the studio and outdoors, if you’d prefer a spring session it’s never too early to get on my calendar. Contact me today to schedule your session! | 434.906.0418 | photos@alijohnson.com
