WOW, oh, WOW…this beautiful young woman just knocked my socks off during her session!! Zamyia is an amazing and remarkable woman, who not only is STUNNING, but incredibly sweet, kind, brilliant, driven and so very nice! I had not met her before our session and as always, I wondered what she would be like and looked forward to getting to know her during her session, but I can’t help but say that Zamyia is probably the most incredible senior I’ve met!! Well, she’s not actually a senior right now…she had attended Fife High School, but is now enrolled at Highline Community College and taking running start classes and is so very excited to begin a new chapter in her life next year when she goes away to college. Our conversations were easy and I loved hearing her goals and plans for her future and what she enjoys doing outside of school and talk about easy going…Zamyia was such a trooper during her session, which was less that ideal! We met on a Saturday morning at Point Defiance Park and it was a bit of a question just what the weather would hold…as we waited for her to arrive…the wind came and went…the clouds came in and went out…the forecast was a bit iffy and rain was certainly a possibility! Well, possibility became a reality about 5 minutes into the session, but that didn’t bother Zamyia…a bit, she didn’t mind the rain and just kept going and smiling…rain and all. Yes, we got wet, pretty darn wet, but her beauty just kept shining through and she was continually game for more!! As we were driving out, the rain let up (for a bit), so we stopped for a few photos without having to take cover…and then said our goodbyes…and I must say, this woman left a bit impact on me…she is truly remarkable!
Zamyia has a love for history, especially European history and plans on attending Western Washington University next fall and hopes her college career leads to a job at an art museum in Europe after graduation. She’d love to study in London during one of her college years and I have no doubt that she will achieve all her heart desires! I think Zamyia was born a bit late…her love of history and actors such as Cary Grant, James Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren and more as well as her love of classic movies, music, fashion and art are a sign of her “old soul!” I so enjoyed getting to know her and at one point mentioned to her mom (who’s also beautiful!!) that Zamyia was a bit of a diva because she was very comfortable in front of the camera and it was as though she was a trained model…her mom said, that was something she didn’t know about her! I later found out that Zamyia is shy, but I would have never known that from our session…she was at ease talking with me and so relaxed during the photos…it certainly didn’t seem that way at all during the session! So without further ado…here is this amazing young woman who I know will do great things in her life and be successful…beyond her dreams!!
Ahh, the raindrops are beginning to appear, but Zamyia didn’t hesitate at all with the rain and we had a great time in the trees!!
Mom (Viveca) and Zamyia are two gorgeous woman who have a wonderful relationship and I could see how proud mom is of her amazing daughter!!
You can see the raindrops…they certainly didn’t hinder us, maybe spurred us on to more!
Didn’t I say B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!!!!!!!!
Plenty of rain…the umbrella didn’t really keep the rain off, but was a fun prop
And, then, at the very end…a break in the rain and a chance to step “out” and I was so happy…can you see how incredibly beautiful and confident Zamyia is here!!
Zamyia…you are not only a beautiful, but incredibly gifted young woman who I’m blessed to have had the chance to meet and better yet, photograph…I’m so excited for you and your future…I know it will be all you can imagine, and more!!
Can you see the sparkle in Abigail’s eyes?!? She is full of energy and lots of creative ideas…I can only imagine what the future holds for her!
How can one resist the bare buns of babies…and this photo with Logan and his “new friend” is just too darn cute…of course, he’ll not be happy with this when he’s 16, but I’m thinking his mom and dad will love it!!
She’s very proud to be THREE…and happy to show off her new shirt!
Another one that Logan may not like later on, but I love it…and his bright smile is priceless!
A special photo with her momma…who as you can see she closely resembles…such a special relationship between these two!!
And baby Logan LOVES playing with his momma…as the smile on his face shows!!
And, Logan’s grandma joined him for his session and I can imagine just how much she loves this little guy…more than words can say!!
SO sweet!!!!!!!!!
Isn’t that smile AWESOME!!!
And SUCH pretty eyes…with lots of sparkle and a definite glitter for life!!
Now, I believe her mom knows this look well…and I LOVED it…how could you ever get mad at this face!!
She loved all the colors of the glass…it was great to “see” something new through her eyes!!
Ahh, the reward…a cherry sucker and it was well deserved, Ainsley was great and SO much fun!!
Safe and protected, in his daddy’s arms…little Lincoln is content and peaceful!
A beautiful new family is created!
Lincoln brought along his “big” cousin, Wyatt, and we couldn’t resist a couple of photos of the two of them. Aren’t they adorable in these owl hats?!!!
It was definitely chilly, so I tried to give them every opportunity possible to snuggle to warm up…and they didn’t seem to mind it a bit!!
I LOVE the look of total adoration that Elizabeth has for Aaron…it’s a beautiful thing to see!
The smile and sparkle in Aryianna’s eyes is the sparkle that I love seeing in children and this cutie has such a great personality…I could spend an entire session with just her!
And, Aaron has that same look for Elizabeth…complete and total love!!
