Senior spotlight: Brenna O’Reilly Class of 2023

Hagerstown MD high school senior girl at Renfrew Park

Today’s senior spotlight is on Brenna O’Reilly

Brenna was supposed to be the class of 2024 but some interesting and unexpected events in her life caused her to make the decision graduate early! We didn’t get to finish shooting before graduation day because her pony wasn’t quite ready for her close up but I think it was worth the wait! I’m so happy to have met such a friendly and driven young lady. I know she is gonna do big things. She also let me play around with studio set ups for some soccer ball fun (pictured at the end of the post). See a picture of Brenna from Freshman year at the bottom of her featured photos to see how much she has grown up. Session locations include private property and Renfrew Museum and Park
