A New Chapter: Asheville Portrait Photographer, Sonya Stone

Think back to the most transformative times in your life...the one where you crossed over from being a child to being an adult...a journey not a moment. Gradual but distinct. What a wonderful thing to document! Claire just graduated from college and is embarking on her next chapter in life. Her sweetness and grace showed so easily in this session; it really was a fun shoot even though we were melting from the heat! Congratulations, Claire!






Oh and for those of you who are keeping track, that is the same butterfly as in the last session I posted. I keep it on retainer. :)

Coming of age: Asheville Senior Photographer Sonya Stone

I feel like I am sneaking a peek through a window. A window that on one side is the childhood and on the other, womanhood. This time, this once in a lifetime time, is so fleeeting and so exciting. All the opportunities ahead. All the lessons learned and yet to be learned. This is my amazingly beautiful sister and I am so proud of the woman she is becoming.

a good problem to have...too many choices! Asheville Senior Portrait Photographer, Sonya Stone

As promised, more photos! This was a really fun shoot. Lucy is such a pretty girl and a total natural. We walked the streets of downtown Asheville catching a ton of great locations. My problem now is narrowing down the images to the 30-40 that will go in her gallery. You know you are in trouble when after the first "narrowing down" you still have 200 images, and after the second you have 80! Here are some of my favorite portraits of Lucy.





And here is one of my favorites...not your typical portrait, but isn't this cool?
