Class of 2013::Emily

Talk about legs for miles!  At 6 foot 2, Emily towered above me, and in her heels, even higher (don't get a nose bleed while you're up there). ;)  I met Emily about 4 years ago when I coached her in 8th grade volleyball (GASP!!! I'm old).  She has always been so sweet and I was so happy when she contacted me about doing her senior photos!  We had such a great time, and being a girl after my own heart, we worked our fierce inner models together!  

So, she said that she wanted most of her  photos with her glasses on since that's how people normally see her.  However, once I had her pull them off, I couldn't have those gorgeous green eyes hiding behind those frames!!!! 

 Mmmmm, red, not many people can pull off that color, she does it beautifully!

 This shot reminds me of a 1980's Cindy Crawford model look!  Lots of hair, lots of eyes...

Thanks for being so beautiful, ALL AROUND!!!  Congratulations!

Hanging with the Heath's

Another wonderful family I'm privileged to get to work with, the Heath family.  While still enjoying the gorgeous September weather, we played in the field, blew some bubbles and hung upside down!  Thank you for a wonderful evening!!

 Here's some of the hangin' upside down. :)

 Big sis, growing up so fast!

And this little spitfire was celebrating her birthday! 

I love this cozy family snuggle! 

Class of 2013::Walker

Walker was awesome to work with.  He had a great sense of humor and an easygoing personality, all traits I can adjust to. :)  He had some of the DARKEST and LONGEST eyelashes ever (why is that always "wasted" on the male species?), and apparently he gets complimented on them all the time. Haha!  I think he thought some of my tennis poses for him were a little weird but I'm glad he trusted my artistic vision!  Thanks for an awesome evening (mom included)!

 One of my tennis poses, he was like, Wha...? :)

 And this one, love how it turned out!  And way to showcase the lashes!  Hehe!

Congratulations, have a great year!

Cousin time!

It was such a pleasure for me to photograph these cousins and siblings.  Their family came into my life about 3 years ago as the oldest, Wesley, was in the same class as my oldest son Ethan.  Ethan befriended Wesley and we found out his family lived in the same neighborhood as us.  Over the past couple years, Wesley's mom, Aunt Virginia and grandmother have offered to watch my children, even overnight, in an effort to give me a break or help me out while I'm needing to be out of town.  As a huge thank you, I gifted them this session!  Sometimes words aren't enough!  Thank you! :)

Chase, Maddie and Wesley.  Chase is friends with my daughter Reagan as well!  

She LOOOOOOVED posing for me, so fun! :) 

 And little Haley, who's like part of their family!

Thank you all for being such a wonderful family!
