Kamryn - Glen Allen High School Class of 2018 Senior

June 22, 2017 Shannon Pierce
Glen-Allen-High-School-Senior-Girl-2018

I'm so excited to kick off Summer with my first class of 2018 senior! I was so stoked when Kamryn contacted me months ago about booking her senior portrait session! 
Kamryn started the day by getting her hair done at Imago Hair Salon on W Main street. With fresh, beautiful curls and the cutest flower crown we were all set to start!

Just like a true Richmond native, Kamryn has a heart for art and wanted to incorporate that into her session. We headed down to Shockoe Bottom near the Canal Walk to start her pictures at the murals.

We were concerned that the flower crown wouldn't be very noticeable but now I can't imagine the shoot without it! It was the perfect combination of pretty and artistic! Colors everywhere!!

I've come to a fascinating realization. The less I look at other photographers for inspiration, the more room I make for my own creativity to gain strength. This photo is by no means flattering. It's not exactky my go-to style of editing either. Yet for some reason it makes me want to get out and try so many new poses in new locations and not have to think for one second about what my competition is doing. Because I am in a very competitive industry, but if I'm not an artist first then wouldn't "doing what I'm passionate about" really just mean trying to catch up with whoever is right in front of me? I'm refocusing my eyes and choosing to run my own race. And it's starting to look like I may just take a few detours along the way. Make time to strengthen yourself, friends. Who cares what other people think when you yourself are so unique and special? 😊😊😊
Class of 18 - the best you ever seeeen! Isn't Kamryn the most beautiful human?? I loved that she already had her graduation dress for her senior portraits! Such a great idea! #PierceSeniors
If you've spent any amount of time on my corners of the social media realm you've noticed that I photograph a ton of green plants. When I was about 7 years old I moved to the country and our house had 10 acres of woods. I had a pond in my neighborhood and walked my dogs there every day. When I was 9 I got my first camera and took it with me on my daily walks. I started noticing the way light shown through the trees and how getting low to the ground helped with perspective. I'd come back with dozens of photos of just plants and sticks and trees and maybe a frog. I found inspiration in nature. And to this day it's still what makes my heart beat. I love all the little details of a bush that come together to make a whimsical piece of art. You'll find that I incorporate a lot of nature into my portraiture as well 🌿🌿🌿 #EverythingGreenIfYouKnowWhatIMean What inspires your creativity??
My name is Shannon McKeel Pierce. I am 22 years old. I have brown hair and green eyes. My brain is currently so filled to the brim with ideas and thoughts that I really feel like I'm about to expload. My goal in life is to serve the Lord and his people with my talents, through my art, and whatever else I have to give. Idk. I just had another idea. Also I've eaten half a pizza while typing all this, so there are my current goals. Also! I love you. 🙂

White space. It's a strategic pause between activities. It is not meditation, mind-wandering, or even mindfulness. White space is the pause when you ask your self... Is there anything I can let go of? Where is "good enough" good enough? What do I really need to know? What deserves my attention? Simply put, "white space" is the shifting of yourself back into the place that is of utmost importance. Bill Gates spends two full weeks every year in a cabin in the woods to exsist in this white space. Out of all the important things that such an important man could be doing, he spends this time dedicated to shifting back to the roots of what's most important to him. Ask yourself what's important to you. And dwell. (Notes from the #GLS)
