What a lovely young woman….Kelsie May is a senior this year at Bellarmine Prep…graduating 2013. My first senior for 2013 and what a great way to start off the seniors! So much to say about Kelsie…I met her at the start of her session, but after reading her bio, I was already impressed, before I even met her. She’s got a great head on her shoulders, great shoulders…as she’s a volleyball player…and a lot of plans and ambition for her future! Joined by her mom, Becki, during the session…this was so much fun and we had some really nice weather. By the end of our session, the skies had cleared and the sun was setting…and the light couldn’t have been better…nor could my subject have been better!! Getting to know my clients during the session is one of my favorite parts of what I do…I can’t tell you how many GREAT people I meet and I’m always in awe of how many wonderful young people there are…embarking on the last year of high school and with specific goals for their future! Kelsie loves to fish and especially LOVES the beach and oceans…and I must say that she’s a girl after my own heart…water and beaches are my “serenity” where I find myself at ease and putting the rest of the world away while I’m around them. One of the things I asked Kelsie was how her parents would describe her…and she said they’d say she has high standards for herself, is hard working, has a sense of humor and is stubborn…wow, what great characteristics for a high school senior! I did ask for an example of stubborn…her mom said she won’t eat vegetables and at an early age, put her foot down and told her mom she just wasn’t going to eat them…too funny, this gal certainly knows what she likes…and what she doesn’t! As for her future…she’s looking at Gonzaga for furthering her education (great choice!) and interested in accounting…smart girl and a good head on her (strong) shoulders…she will certainly go places in her life!! So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce Kelsie, class of 2013, to you…she’s such a great gal, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with she and her mom!!
Oh, I love how close Kelsie and her mom, Becki, are…it was so fun to see the two of them together…and there are definitely similarities between the two of them…they are most certainly related!!!
Kelsie’s boyfriend, Drew, joined up for part of the session…a senior as well, at Charles Wright, he was a great sport and popped in during a break from practice! Super nice young man and he and Kelsie are adorable together…don’t you think!!??!!
Of course, the beach being so special to Kelsie, we HAD to go down there and what a great sport to get into the water…Washington waters aren’t exactly that warm, but she braved it for the photos!!
This young woman is stunning…truly a natural beauty…what more can I say?!!!!
It was obvious how close these two are…and you can see that they love to laugh together…what an incredible bond, such a special gift for both of them!

What a great smile Eric has…but I also loved his more serious expressions…I’m not sure which I liked better…I guess I like them all!!
I have many “favorites” from Eric’s session and this is one of them…love his expression and you can see dreams and plans in his eyes…
Couldn’t resist this wall (again)…Jordan was here last fall and it’s a belief that these two have…”DON’T HATE!”
You might have noticed the “WASHINGTON” shirt and recognize the location as UW Tacoma…Eric had just recently made the decision to attend UW (Seattle) and is really excited about college…business is his intended major and he has BIG plans for his career and I have no doubts that he will be incredibly successful…this kid has ambition and goals and works to achieve them…I hope to keep in touch and hear what he’s doing in four years…it will be great things, I’m sure!!
We had some fun with Jordan and Eric…lots of goofy photos and silly faces…which is always fun…for me and them…there weren’t many serious moments during the session with these two!!
As with most people these days…our phones are right there with us…couldn’t resist capturing Eric on his phone…who knows, someday he might be consulting with some big businesses about very important issues on his phone!!
