Wow! What a site the Rose Garden is at McKinley Park is in Sacramento right now! I highly recommend a Golden Hour stroll through the uncountable varieties of roses. Additionally, having a subject as naturally beautiful as Mirielle made it especially fun for me AND at golden hour. Let’s just say, I was not the only photographer in this garden. There were lots of us, unlike her sister Acacia’s senior session, a few years back during the Covid pandemic where we chose a quiet riverside location along Highway 50, that we had to ourselves.
Currently, Mirielle is interning as a vet as part of getting a medical assisting certification but she doesn’t have any specific plans for work or college yet. Her graduation from Rio Americano is this month. She does have plans with her family to take a graduation trip to the windy city to visit museums and art galleries and all that a metropolis has to offer. She’s very excited.
When she is not working or in school, Mirielle enjoys reading, listening to music, hanging out with her cats and playing low-key video games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Splatoon.
Her advice for incoming high schoolers? “It’s going to seem like a lot at first, and it will be challenging but when you look back you’ll see it wasn’t as bad as it felt in the moment, and then it will be over before you know it”.
Congratulations Mirielle on your High School graduation. I wish you lots of urban adventure and cats in your future!
