Imagine there being a place where you feel like you’re in Italy but didn’t have to travel such a great distance. That’s exactly what it felt like when we drove up to the chapel at Anselmo Vineyards! What an amazing place! Dan, our personal tour guide, told us some of the history behind the chapel and how every piece of material used was imported from Italy. You couldn’t help but be in awe.

Then you add in two beautiful high school seniors like Jessica and Nicole! I just loved getting to work with these two!! They made my job seem so easy. I loved their personalities and willingness to do anything I asked them to do! Nicole enjoys hanging out with friends and being outside. She also loves volleyball. Jessica loves to read, paint, listen to music while driving and spending time with friends. I loved their casual outfits of light colored jeans and cute sweaters. Nicole also had a couple dresses that were beautiful! They paired perfectly with her cowgirl boots. :)

The Senior Session

We started the session near the entrance to the vineyards where there was a beautiful building with teal metal framing around all the windows. It was next to a gazebo made of marble columns which was also next to a pond and a stream with a stone bridge. I mean, all the things just right there! 

We then explored around the property and found a unique stone bench in front of a red stone wall. During this portion, Dan got one of the horses all brushed up for Nicole and we got to take some sweet portraits with the horse she liked to ride there. While taking those portraits, another one of the horses, Abib, was curious and wanted to know what in the world I was doing. So he was right behind me smelling out my camera bag and trying to get into my bag! HAHA! It was hilarious. Made me miss the horses I had growing up.

The Chapel at Anselmo Vineyards

We ended the session at the Chapel, also known as St. Theresa Chapel, which I’ve already described some of the beauty of that place. There was a back hallway with arches letting the light stream through. I love the images of each girl gazing out one of those archways into the light. We also got the girls’ mom involved in a few images towards the end that was so sweet! I love it when my seniors want a portrait with their mom/parent. Such a special time! There is also a pond next to the chapel so we ended the session there with the sunset. 

Nicole, Jessica and Gina it was such an honor getting to do this senior session for you! Best wishes to you girls as you step into the next chapter of your life after high school!! God Bless!!

- Love, Jen
