Elia spent most of a day at the hair salon getting her hair hand-painted purple for her senior pictures. The purple bayalage technique combined with her outfit choices, including a fun floral pattern romper with overlay, 2 beautiful natural locations, AND her french bulldog resulted in a fantastic and unforgettable senior portrait experience.
