Leah....

Leah is a delightful young lady. She's funny, simple, and those freckles are so darn cute.... I have to tell the story of the sweatshirt. Well, so I won't get into to trouble, I'll give you the not-blaming-anyone-version. Leah and I discussed her clothing selection during our pre-consultation. So, I'm thinking she'll be wearing her favorite ASU sweatshirt (some call it a hoodie). When she showed up, no hoodie. I was told that it was confiscated, due to unknown reasons. Here I was planning on taking images of her in her absolutely favorite article of clothing, and whamo, not gonna happen. When I was told the story, I laughed. It's actually so funny why she didn't bring it, but I won't reveal the reason. We had a great photo session. And I think she'll love the images too...... Hope you like 'em.

Kayla F....

Kayla was fun to work with. She moved here from North Texas recently, so most of her friends and memories were left there. She seems to be a resilient young lady. I can't imagine moving right before your Senior Year of high school. She has a great attitude and has seemed to handle it well. She is in the color guard at Mac. We started outside in the hay and fields, then moved inside for some gun throwing (have to see it to believe it). And then we finished up outside with the famous cactus. She had this really cool black outfit. Really fashiony, and happin'. Oh, forgot to mention, she brought her personal assistant along with her. I guess only time will tell, if the identity of this special person will be revealed..... The images turned out "vundabar" (phonetically correct). Enjoy.... KF....

Taylor...

Taylor is a character... He's a baseball player (duh, from the pics), so I decided to start at the JM baseball field. As I approached the field, I was thinking, "what can I do to show baseball"?. Not just bam, there on the field, but something different. As I was walking past the batting cages, I thought, "that's it", standing behind the mesh screen looking out. So right before we left, I took the image. Sure enough, it's one of my favorites.... I got a lot of cool images of him, and his mom seemed very pleased. What's even cooler is that his baseball team is in the playoffs...

Nicole....

Nicole is a wonderful young lady. I had the privilege of having her in two classes in her high school career. She's kind of an "outdoorsy" type of person. Her family is really into off-road vehicles. So to hold to that, we had her bring her 4-wheeler. She also wanted to bring her dog (sorry, forgot his name), but he's a "weener" dog. We photographed outside until the sun faded, then finished up inside. One of my favorites is her dog licking her face.... Enjoy....

Krysta....

Krysta is a wonderful young lady. She's to attend ACU in the fall, and wants to go into the missionary field. She's got an awesome family, one that has helped her develop into a highly respectable, honest, and compassionate young woman. She's soft spoken (at least to me), well-read, and very down to earth. If you listen to her speak, it's like some one playing a role of an angel in a movie (really sweet and soft). Our session covered the gamut; inside, outside, sun, twilight, etc.... I think we really got so incredible images. Her mom sent me an image from when she was a little girl. She is wearing her daddy's AF hat (she's about two years old). Anyway, I incoporated it into a collage, after all she grew up an "Air Force" Girl. I really like her images.... Let's hope she does too.... By the way, she told me a story about Taco Bell in DR, and now I've taken it to a new level. When someone blinks during the camera click (you know the kind that makes you look like you're on drugs), well, now I say, "you just Taco Bell'd it".... hehehehe Thanks Krysta, you'll always be remembered for that one....

Michael....

Michael was a good sport. He wanted the basic session. I know it was more for mom than Michael. He's very intelligent (honor society), and yet very down to earth. He handled the session well, and actually cracked a couple of smiles "ta boot"... We did a couple of non-cap-and-gown and they turned out great.... Congrats on your upcoming graduation....

Miraculous Michelle...

Michelle was a bunch of fun. She just wanted a cap and gown session. She told me about how she was a miracle baby (teeny tiny, and complications). She's soft-spoken, and ever so sweet. Her images display these qualities...
