Nivetha and her family hail from a town in southern India. She and her mother wanted to start her portrait session in a dress, bought specifically for her senior year and meant to celebrate her roots. The detailed bead work was amazing and thankfully Nivetha's mom Alli, was on hand to make sure the garment was positioned just right for the photos. We spent an evening shooting at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens where the night before we photographed one of her great friends Hannah.

Nivetha is nothing if not prepared. She had all her outfits down with matching accessories and hair styles for each. When it comes down to it, I don't think any of those things mattered, this gal is just plain beautiful!

Keep working hard, Nivetha! Have a great senior year! :)
