Heather

Here's another senior girl to introduce you to. She was really a delight to work with. Her name is Heather and she is the captain of the high school dance team that I love to keep up with.





She's got a quiet sophistication about her with just enough "girliness" thrown in to keep things fun.
We had a great day to shoot. Spring was not too far away and some pretty colors were starting to come out. And getting Heather to look good was...well, I guess she pretty much looks good all the time. I just got to catch it on my camera.




Before the shoot, Heather had told me about her mom's struggle with breast cancer and how she wanted to honor her by featuring a special necklace given to her and her sister by their grandmother. I loved getting to help her mark this time in her life that will forever be remembered as the beginning of a new level of love and commitment in the life of her family. She wore the necklace beautifully!


My prayers and love go out to your family, Heather. Thank you for letting me be a part of this special time in your life. Congratulations on all you have accomplished and all that you will become in the next exciting years!

That great smile!


Doesn't she just have the most inviting smile? It's contagious!
Aimee and I spent several hours out in the cold a few weeks ago. But we came away with some of the greatest shots! I was really thankful to have such a gracious subject that could withstand the temperature and still look like she was having a great time.



I am so honored to be able to take pictures of these great kids. They are so busy. I love to get to spend a few hours with them and get to know them a little bit.
We have known Aimee's family for many years now. She has two really fun brother's. In fact, you can find one (Nich) on this blog just a few pages back. They are all such wonderful people and I was so pleased to get to talk with Aimee about the rest of her year and her future plans.
She is a dancer in the local high school drill team and needed the shots for an upcoming show. I think we got some great ones!



Good luck in the Spring Show, Aimee! You are a beautiful girl with a sweet spirit about you. I love your family and appreciate their support of my work.
Enjoy these last few months as a high school senior. I'm excited for you as you look forward to your next few years in college.
