When I was 17! a senior portrait photographer reflects

Shooting senior portraits is a gift! I get to hang out with sweet, compassionate, smart, funny young people that are going to take this world by storm!  Today as I was tying up some last minute orders it got me thinking about when I was seventeen years old, way back in 1995.  Want to know about the 17 year old me and now the 33 year old me.  It’s a THEN & NOW post!

Here are a couple things to get you started . . .

the boys I loved then: eddie vedder, derek jeter and river phoenix [yes, it's Joaquin's brother]

the boys I love now:  my husband and son!

the clothes I loved then:  pretty much any surf/skate companies. cut off jeans, converse. the picture below is pretty much what we all looked like, geeeeesh that is rough!

and a big ol’ baggie flannel!

the clothes I love now: volcom, free people, and element eden

the music I loved then: sublime, pearl jam, bob marley, blind melon, the beatles, janes addiction, natalie merchant

the music I love now: pretty much all of the above plus the black keys, the avett brothers, the everybodyfields

Ok, now for the fun!
Me then:

and me now:
