Downtown Fullerton Senior Session: Madie, c/o 2014

Think rocker meets high fashion meets teen alt. trendy and you will be envisioning  a style that defines Madie. This super cool and hip girl collects old band t-shirts (amongst other things), part of which have come from her mother's closet (Mom is a band photographer). Black combat boots, red fishnets, OMG, I love this girl! This funky rocker style was SO fun to photograph, I couldn't get enough of every outfit Madie pulled out for our downtown Fullerton shoot.…
