sixth grade portrait collection | exclusively by michelle castro photography

In August my oldest daughter started her LAST year of elementary school!  I’ve been dreading this since . . . well, basically, since she was born!  So . . . as a photographer/mama I can’t separate the two parts of me and I’m instantly drawn to capturing her and this precious time in her life!  I really can’t think of a time where the changes will be so vast . . . I feel like these first 11 or 12 years have been very dependent, she’s needed me for everything . . . from food, shelter, clothing, all of it . . . we have provided and now . . . she’s getting ready to spread those wings a bit . . . next year, she will be off to junior high and I won’t be on the campus every day, I won’t be asked to help out in the classroom, she will be responsible for more of her work and life, and I will PRAY, PRAY, PRAY, that what her daddy and I have taught her has sunk in and that she will make wise choices!!  Well . . . that was a bit more emotional than I had intended . . . all of that brought me to creating the 6th grade portrait collection!   Although, it is my own daughter who brought me to create this I have yet to do her full session . . . isn’t it always the way! ha!!!  But, here is my beautiful model!  We had the best time!  I’ve had the opportunity to photograph this sweet girl for the past couple of years!  I love her and her family!!! So much fun!!!

Back to School Sessions

In gearing up for my 2nd annual Back to School sessions I did a little trial run!  I love that I have these amazingly creative friends who take ideas and run with them!!!  My sweet friend, Sarah, put this vignette together and she’s working on another one (it involves a bale of hay!!!) for the actual sessions!!!  I LOVE this little school desk, but I DON’T love that my girlies are getting older!!!  Honestly, I really hate that!!!  Well . . . except that they are getting more and more fun!  Ok . . .it’s a LOVE-HATE relationship I have with them getting older.  Anyways, here are a few from our trial run.  Super cute subjects . . . if you ask me!!!

Last year I decided that the dorky backdrops were just not cool with me and that I wanted to take matters in to my own hands!!  I could take my kids’ pictures and make that their back to school milestone picture, but why not do it for everyone . . . well, at least try and spread the love!  So, the back-to-school session was born!!!  It was a huge hit last year . . . and this year is going to be EVEN BETTER!!!

Here are a few pics from the test run . . . along with some info on how you can take advantage of this FREE session . . . yes, you read that right . . . the session is FREE!!!  And the prints are pretty reasonably priced!!!
