Admirable Young Man.....

James is a Senior at SACS... He's involved in Track, and loves to run... I photographed his sister a couple of years ago, and will have a session with his twin sister later this year... He doesn't know exactly what he wants to do when he graduates, but he's narrowed it down to Engineering and Pastoring (with some Missionary work mixed in there too)... His mom says it's hard to get him to smile, but it was rather easy (everyone laughs at my corny jokes, :) ... We started inside (due to the hot weather) with his suit, then we journeyed outside, braving the tumultuous heat and finished up. We had talked about doing some cool images with him running, so we moved the setup to the road... other than the fence in the image I think it's way cool (the sky actually looked like that).... We got a lot of other great images too.... more on the web.. Enjoy....

Courtney C....

Courtney is the JM Ag President this year.... I met her through one of my reps last year (thanks Brooke). She is going to be one of my JM reps this year. We tried to schedule her earlier this Summer, but due to conflicting schedules, we could only shoot yesterday. She is a wonderful young lady... I was impressed with the way she carries herself (very respectful, grateful, and seems very genuine). She's a PALS member, really involved in the Ag Program, and keeps up with her studies. Her dad came along with her for the session, and I loved his "Bawston" accent... The sight we chose for the session was a field of old retired tractors... I stopped by Pete's house the other day to ask permission to use them and he and his, very courteous, wife said, "yes". Thanks Pete! We only had about an hour for the session, but everything turned out great.... I think Courtney will be great for us this year... More on the web... Enjoy....

Below is a family portrait taken on Cannon Beach in Oregon... Pacific Coast weather is bizarre... foggy mornings, sunny afternoons, then foggy again.... Look forward to hearing from you....
