Senior Spotlight {Emma | La Follette High School}
Emma lives in Madison, WI but came to Grand Rapids for her senior pictures! I love bringing out-of-towners to all my favorite local spots because they aren't tired of seeing them. Ha! Emma is so sweet and a natural beauty with an easy laugh. She made the session relaxed and fun!
I want to say to all the 2020 graduates, COVID-19 may have taken away a lot of your senior year but you are a resilient, strong group of young adults and you will rise even higher because of it. As a mom of a 2020 senior, know that we searching for new ways to celebrate and shout from the rooftops how proud of you we are.
With all my love, Janna

Q: What is your favorite childhood memory? A: Getting together with family in the summer and spending time at the lake.

Q: If you could go to school in a foreign country, which country would you pick? A: Italy, so I could hopefully learn to speak Italian.
