Senior guys

What fun it is to get to photograph these senior guys!
It's always great to get to take pictures of the beautiful girls but sometimes it is a real hoot to get to spend time with a fun guy who is excited about life and having a great senior year.
This post is about Matt - who is into everything and having a blast during this exciting part of life. He was very active in football, baseball and the country western dance team and who knows what else.





He has a quick smile and doesn't mind his sister and his mom fussing with his hair for pictures. He has lots of patience with photographers (me) and does everything they ask including jumping into a bed of weeds for a great picture.


We got an early start to beat the heat and spend a few hours trying some new places around Dallas for pictures. Matt and his mom didn't mind trying some new ideas and locations. I loved what we ended up with.


I have waited terribly late to put up this post and I have forgotten where Matt is off to next year - but where ever he goes he will be surrounded by new friends because of his easy personality and humble ways.


Matt, I hope you have the most wonderful time next year! You are a special young man, the kind we need more of these days. I know you are ready for whatever comes your way and that you will make the most of your life. Enjoy!

Keeping up with these seniors!!

Wow! Senior Portrait season is in full swing and I really need to stay on top of things so you can meet some of these great kids. They never cease to amaze me with their busy lives and huge accomplishments.
One sweet girl that I got to shoot on an awesomely beautiful day in January is Rachel. She is a beauty who is a busy girl at school this year. She is the captain of the dance/drill team and a member of the boot-scootin' Ramblers, a country/western dance group.

In the middle of a brutal Dallas winter, we happened upon a sunny,warm day at the end of January to get some great pictures. Rachel was easy to work with and flashed that great smile all afternoon!

We even got some "artsy" dance pictures of her that turned out beautifully!

I'm sure there is much more to Rachel than her obvious work ethic and talent in dance, I wish we had had more time to spend together. I know her precious mom is a beautiful person as well who, along with Rachel's dad, has raised 3 hard working, high achieving children. And they're,each one, beautiful on the inside and out.
Rachel, thank you for allowing me to spend the afternoon with you and your mom taking some fun pictures of you. You were a trooper and it was time well spent because I love what we came away with. Hope you hold on to all the memories that you are making right now. Enjoy these last months in high school! Can't wait to see you in Spring Show!!!

I've got a few new Seniors to share about on here! So happy to be around some of the sweetest people and get to know them. Sometimes our sessions are a time for me to get to know the sweet kids of friends of mine. I've seen them grow up but never had the chance to know them personally. I love getting to see who they have become.
Casey is a great example. I've known his mom and dad for years but haven't had many opportunities to get to know Casey. I'm glad I got to share the afternoon with them and get a little glimpse into his life.

Casey apparently plays, and is good at, just about every sport there is. I know his letter jacket had plenty on it. Though I couldn't get him to expound much on his athletic skills (he's quite humble about it) I know he's been very busy with sports all through high school. He's got awesome fiery red hair and a great smile. He's easy going and fun. He's a real sweet heart! (Hope I'm not embarrassing him)


Thank you, Casey, for sharing a fun afternoon. I know you have an exciting future ahead of you and I can't wait to see where it takes you. Good luck and enjoy every minute!
