Some seniors have a quiet confidence about them, and Alexis is one of those people. Her mom described her as bubbly, outgoing, and friendly, and after spending time together, I could see exactly what she meant. She has an easy smile, a kind personality, and the sort of warmth that makes people feel comfortable around her.
That heart for people shows up in her plans for the future, too. Alexis hopes to attend college and earn her degree so she can become an elementary school teacher. I have no doubt the students in her future classroom will be lucky to have her.
We spent her senior session exploring a beautiful historic mansion, brick walkways, staircases, and warm afternoon light. Every outfit brought something different to her gallery, from casual jeans with cute flowers to a flowing white skirt with ruffles and a classic navy dress. The variety fit her personality well while keeping the entire session cohesive.
I always enjoy hearing seniors share a little about themselves, so here are a few of Alexis’s answers in her own words.
