A Genuine Football Fan.....

Allie came to us via JM High School. We photographed her sister a few years back, so doing a good job with her and a matter of time, brought the Houston family back to us for Allie's Sr portraits. Allie is a sassy, amibitious, outgoing, and spunky, young lady. She plans on attending a college in North Dakota where she'll pursue a degree in education. Allie says she loves North Dakota, but I don't think she's gonna like the cold weather (that's one good thing about good 'ol hot Texas). Allie brought her friend Kiersten (sorry if I mispelled her name), so there wasn't a dull moment during the session. Allie also brought her dog, Dakota, and she was funny to watch. Everytime Allie's dad would tell Dakota to stay, she'd get up and start to walk away, then he'd tell her to go back and she would literally walk backwards and sit down in the exact spot she left. Our session took us from the haybarn to the Texas flag, then to the swing, with a short stint in the grass, and finished up in the studio. Did I mention Allie is a die-hard Nebraska Cornhusker fan. When she was playing with the football, in the studio, she was showing her football faces, doing touchdown dances, and throwing spirals. I thought, "her dad certainly made her into a geniune, soon-to-be-a-tailgatin', football fan." Women that love football are a dime a dozen, so my hat goes off to Mr. Houston. We had a fun time, and the images turned out great. Click here to watch a short video from the session, and here to see some more images on the site. Enjoy....

Only in Texas and only for Allie would a rainy overcast morning turn into 88 degrees and sunny by 3pm. Thank you for taking a circus of parents, dogs and friends and turning it into these beautiful photographs. We can't wait to see the rest of them!
