Following our photoshoot, I got to know Alex (and her family) even better. Turns out, she’s the second celebrity I photographed. 😛 She would deny it. But sharing the same hair stylist as the Kardashians’? That’s celebrity status to me. haha.

Alex has this classic beauty that I think emits from within. She carries herself with so much grace, humility, and a quiet determination. Magnetic. Yes, that’s my first impression of her. (And I also immediately thought how young her mom looks. Casi, I’m all ears if you wanna share your secrets. haha.)

I love that I was able to snap some family photos at Alex’s session too. You see, the Penn State pride is strong in this family. Dad’s an alumnus. Younger brother is currently attending Penn State. So while we’re photographing Alex’s graduation photos, I bet she’ll return to campus in a couple years to celebrate her brother’s achievement. 🙂

Alex – Congrats again on your accomplishment! Such an amazing feeling to receive this “ticket” to an expansive world ahead. So proud of you for already securing a managerial position. I’ve no doubt you will dream big and go far!
