Elegant Illusion Photography | Featured Senior Session

Today’s featured senior session is from Amanda Buckthorpe of Elegant Illusion Photography, located in Saint Claire, MO. Here is what Amanda had to say about her session.

Please describe the session: “This session is near & dear to me. Every year, I plan a styled session for my only daughter. These are dubbed "White Dress Project" sessions. We choose a different location and style every year, but always wearing a white dress. The idea is that these will be gifted to her on her wedding day. Each year, we try to outdo our last one. This year, I knew we just had to do these while on vacation. She is a dancer and I wanted to showcase her passion for dance and her beautiful personality. I knew the beach vibe would fit this perfectly.”

Tell us about the gear used: “I used my Nikon D750 (love love love this camera) as well as my 24mm Sigma Art lens. This combo is unstoppable.”

What inspired this session: “Long ago, when I was first starting out, a client told me about this idea. I immediately knew it was a tradition I had to adopt. My daughter is my only girl, so it is such a special project and we both look forward to it each year. I love that we are creating such a unique and memorable keepsake for when she is grown.”

Thank you for sharing Amanda! You can see more work from Amanda on Facebook and Instagram.
