Seniors

OU 2019 Graduate | Ann B. | Norman, OK Photographer

Senior #2 of 2019 is in the books! Ann was one of the most poised, intelligent, and special seniors I’ve ever had in the crew! This girl is on her A-game – from the perfectly styled and personalized outfits to the glittered Welch’s and the extensive graduation regalia (decorated cap, two (!!!) hoods, a stole, and a plethora of cords which ALWAYS makes things more fun!), it’s safe to say she went all out! It was amazing to me that she had time to pull everything together with how involved and dedicated she is to her education & engineering community. As the president of Society of Women Engineers, it was obvious to me that Ann has left her legacy here at OU! She’s already got a job lined up in Houston, and is ready to start life in the real world!

There was a first for me at Ann’s shoot – I’ve surprisingly never photographed a senior with their cat before!! I have had several friends bring their dogs, but never a little babe like this one and Ripley did AWESOME. It was pretty funny to see her be brought out of her crate and experience the outdoors a bit. Apparently she has never even touched grass!! It made me think of the first time you see a baby at the beach playing in the sand, or taking their first steps on the front lawn! We didn’t let her roam, but you could tell she was loving the weather and being in the sun! Also – those GORGEOUS blue eyes!! These two are a perfect little pair!

As the weather has warmed up, campus has been getting busier, so we made our way to a couple new spots around OU, including a few spots on the North Oval. I loved getting a ton of different angles of Bizzell – it never gets old, especially with her crimson graduation dress as the perfect compliment. Ann’s boyfriend, Michael, joined us for the shoot, so we made sure to snap a couple photos of these two together.

Thank you for spending your evening with me, Ann!! You’re on to do amazing things!
