beth anne :: senior session

Beautiful Beth.

She's sweet-tempered with a mix of gentleness. Her outreaching heart has brought her to a school where she strives to be a beacon of light. And for her, I am grateful.

beth anne :: senior session sneak peek.

This girl has one of the most beautiful hearts I've ever seen. And within the first few minutes of our session, I knew our morning would consist of smiles, laughs, and easy conversation.

Here is just a sneak peek of our wonderful Saturday morning! : ) Enjoy!

madeline [senior sesion]

Meet Madi.

I am lucky lady. During our two sessions, Madi and I just clicked. We had the same vision, she trusted in my creativity, and I knew she was a star in front of the camera.

She's smart, athletic, and beautiful.

A girl of all trades, and I knew...having her picture taken was just another thing she could add to her long list of things at which she excels.

"It's like a car crash; you just can't look away."

In my opinion, it is just like the movies. One moment, your favorite song is on the radio while you drive the last five blocks home. Then you see him. The other driver who is running the red light.

And then, silence. A moment.

The moment where you can't find the brake. The moment where your hands fly up in the air to protect your face. The moment of such forceful impact. The moment the glass shatters.

You know the car's still moving. But you can't see the road or the tree you missed by inches. You can feel your tires lift up onto the sidewalk and over the grass. Then you see the building. 10 feet. 7 feet. 4 feet away.

You search for the brake with your foot. Reaching, probing for the horizontal pedal that can help you to not cause further damage.

Once you press the pedal, all of the sounds are awakened again.

The air bag dusts fill the air and for a moment, all you can think of is fire. The door is jammed part-way and you can't push it open all the way. The dust feels like splinters in your throat and you're desperate for pure air.

Someone's shouting to call 911 and two others come by your door. "Are you all right?" they ask with panicked voices. It wasn't my fault. It wasn't my fault. "It wasn't my fault!" You keep saying as a statement, but one with uncertainty.

The man and woman stand by your story and a gentleman from the nearest McDonald's brings you a water bottle.

The ambulance sirens can be heard, along with the fire engine's.

~

Adam. I hold my breath and turn to the inside of the car searching carefully through bits of glass and strewn about belongings from my purse. Adam later tells me he never wants to receive a call like that again.

Within moments, Adam is by my side and an EMT is lifting me onto a gurney to go into the ambulance.

Diagnosis? Bruise to the knee. Lacerations on forearm. Burns on forearm.


No broken bones. No substantial injury.



To God be the glory.

[senior portraits] Scott : )

I met Scott three years ago when I started dating my now-husband, Adam. Of all things, Scott loves. And its evident. So when I was asked to take Scott's senior pictures, I simply couldn't say "no."

Scott will be graduating this next year with quite a few accomplishments under his belt~ most notably, his acting career.

Here are a few from our fun session!
