It was so nice to be able to pick up a camera and go back to work as a photographer. After weeks of being on lockdown, outdoor photography sessions could once again take place. Mary Swayze was the first high school senior that I photographed after the stay at home orders were lifted for the state of Mississippi. While there was and still is a need for social distancing, we made a small step in the right direction. We spent the day making our way around downtown Jackson and enjoying some beautiful weather. Mary Swayze was a pleasure to work with and quite comfortable in front of the camera. I was able to focus on photography as she required little direction.
We also had the good fortune to run into one of her closest friends later that day. Her friend was having photographs taken by another photographer. It was nice to see the two of them enjoy this moment of their senior year together. Things were starting to look a little more like a normal senior year for these young girls. Their senior year has been one for the books. As for me, I am back in business and looking forward to many more days like this one.
