Holden Lauren...

Yeah, that's right, Holden is Holding Lauren....(couldn't resist). Lauren and Holden are gettin' Hitched in January of 2014. They came to us for their engagement / save the date session. We did Lauren's senior portraits and few years back and she told us that we would be doing her wedding. Well, it sure feels good that she liked us so much that her promise is coming true. Anyway, Lauren and Holden seem to enjoy each other's company. They seem to get each other too. Their wedding day should be an exciting and extremely fun wedding for us,'cause we know her entire family. Plus it's going to be out in the country (what more could you ask for?). Here's a link to a short video from the session. As always, leave us a comment; we love hearing from you. Enjoy....

Bethany the Marine Biologist...

came back for her "in the water" portraits (ideas I had for her). After capturing some images in the studio, we went out to the pool. We had a fun time, and came back with some compelling images. When I watched the video, I got goose bumps. I mean, it's so satisfying when attempting to capture someone's personality, you come away with something like this. I mean knowing that I'm making a small impact in the lives of these seniors that come to us is so intrinsically rewarding. Bethany is a special young lady, really special. When I look at the world and see all of the decline in behavior, technology busting at the seams, and lack of respect for God, it's so refreshing to be able to do what I do. Bethany is going to make a difference in the world, or as the video states, she's gonna leave her mark. The world is definitely a better place because of her presence. Anyway, you can see a few more images of her on our site, and by all means, check out the short video about her... As always, leave us a comment and tell us what you think. Enjoy.....

Miss Bethany...

I've had the privilege of knowing Bethany for 3 years now. I had her in class the last two years. I must of done something right because she came to us for her senior portraits. Bethany is a Senior at JM. She plans on studying marine biology in college and then hopefully becoming a seal trainer, turtle researcher, or underwater world professor. She is also talented with the camera (I wonder where she learned that?). Anyway, Bethany is a joy to be around, very down-to-earth, extremely intelligent, and very, very sweet. She'll be coming back to help create an underwater image that's gonna knock your socks off (well, hopefully at least untie your shoes). So you'll have to check back in a few weeks. Here's a short video from the session, and click here to see more images of her on the site.
I'm starting a new part of the "CK High School Senior Portraits" Experience. This will allow you to get to know our seniors a little more. They have so much to contribute to the world. Bethany is the first.

If you could have dinner with someone (past or present) who would you choose? Why? I would have dinner with my dad because no matter how close I am with my mom, I will always be daddy’s little girl and I love our time spent together. He has always supported my choices and has blessed me with so many experiences. I love him very much.
What do you think people will remember most about you? I think that people will remember me for being such a hardworking person, who is determined to achieve her goals.
If you could have one wish, what would it be? If I could have one wish it would be to swim with a whale shark.
If you could do one thing to impact the world, what would you do? If I could impact the world in one way, I would definitely try to get people to understand how beautiful our oceans, the creatures that live there, and the habitat are. I would want to make a difference in the underwater world, by educating and informing people about marine mammals and strive to protect their habitat ultimately.
