Aleyna Pace - Graduation Album 2024Capturing Aleyna Pace's graduation photos was a unique and memorable experience, as I had the honor of celebrating her milestone moment at the John Cooper School in The Woodlands, Texas. As she stepped into the studio in her emerald green cap and gown, I could sense the pride and excitement in the air. The bright white background we chose for most of her portraits made her slim figure stand out, her tight black dress subtly peeking out from beneath her gown. Each click of the camera aimed to capture not just her achievement but also the essence of who Aleyna is: poised, confident, and ready to step into a new chapter.For one special portrait, we opted for a dark gray background that gave the photograph an air of mystery, contrasting sharply with the purity of the white background in the other shots. This was my favorite photo of the session, as it seemed to capture a different side of Aleyna—a depth and complexity that seemed to hint at her artistic passions. A talented artist, Aleyna has a unique gift for sculpting, blending ancient influences with modern sensibilities to create pieces that are truly mind-blowing. Her work speaks of a timeless elegance, yet it pulses with contemporary energy, reflecting a mind that's always exploring and pushing boundaries.Now, Aleyna is starting her freshman year at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, where her older sister is already a student. As I clicked the final frames, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for her journey ahead. With her talent and drive, I have no doubt she will excel in all her new endeavors, both in art and beyond. I wish her all the best as she begins this exciting new chapter, bringing her unique vision and creative spirit to everything she touches.
