Cara - Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

I'm happy for you to meet Cara, another one of my amazing Senior Reps for 2010. I have known Cara since she was in grade school, and I consider it a tremendous honor to be taking her Senior Portraits. She's the girl that brings the sunshine to every gathering!

She has a smile for everyone, is one of the sweetest girls I know, and I've watched her, in a crowd of teenagers, reach out to those standing back on the sidelines and bring them right into the circle of fun activity.

She has a great smile, is very enthusiastic, both of which come in handy as a Varsity Cheerleader. She has also been the setter for the FA Volleyball Team which made it to the Final Four in State this past fall.
I know the softball team is so pleased she's playing again this season!

During the shoot, she shared with us that she has a deep love for children, and plans to pursue an education that will lead to a career in the pre-school field. I would love knowing that someone as sweet and loving as Cara is heping my pre-schoooler through their first school experience.

She has also been involved in the High School Destination Imagination Team all through high school, including the year they TOOK THE GLOBAL TITLE for D.I.!

As I write this, they are preparing for the 2010 State D.I. Competition.

Cara, good luck at State, and Congratulations on your Graduation!

Megan and Shelby - Heart and Soul

While trying to think of a song title to put with these gorgeous sister shots, the old Huey Lewis hit, "She's Heart and Soul" popped into my head. Let's make that plural. Both girls definitely have "Heart and Soul".
We had planned a "Sister Shoot", but their mom, Stacey, told me she needed a few shots for a new business card (she's just about to get her real estate license!) and I talked her into jumping into a few poses along with her daughters. Now you totally see where these girls get their beauty from!

Megan is working very hard to finish cosmetology school, and hopes to be licensed by late summer.
We ended up taking a few extra of Shelby so she would have some new portraits, since I had taken Megan's Senior Portraits just last year. Shelby seems a little shy, but the camera LOVES her!
We had so much fun with these three ladies. We laughed a LOT, and there were so many fun moments to choose from, it was really hard to make my choices for this post. Much of the laughter was caused by "strange men" honking their horns and waving/yelling/whistling as they drove their trucks down the street where we were shooting! Can you blame them?
Ladies, I LOVED working with you. Let's do it again some time! Wishing you all the best in your new adventures!

Darcy Turned 2!!!

You probably remember this beautiful angel from previous posts.

On this photoshoot in February, we were celebrating her 2nd Birthday.
I have been snapping photos of Darcy since before she could walk, and every photoshoot is a new adventure for me. It's fun to watch her enter new stages, and I'm so blessed to be trusted with recording those stages.

She likes her country music!! Her mom played some tunes from her phone while we were shooting, and Darcy came to life, dancing and singing along! She's such a little honey. I know her parents stay constantly entertained by her enthusiastic approach to life!





In this image, her sweet little face makes a perfect heart shape, doesn't it?


Happy Birthday, Darcy!
