A beautiful summer morning just a week ago, I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing a remarkable young woman. Only haven spoken on the phone with Rachel, I had not met her, but once I saw her climb out of her (big) truck…I knew this was someone that would be fun and that the time would pass by quickly during her session. Not only is Rachel a beautiful young woman, she just gushes with confidence and direction…this gal is goal driven and knows what she wants out of life and what she needs to do to get there! I was SO impressed and thoroughly enjoyed visiting with her during her session. The oldest of four…and the only girl, she’s responsible, mature and caring. Helping with her younger brothers who are all nearly as active as she is…and keeping up with her school, activities and a job…that’s impressive, especially for a high school senior! Volleyball is her passion and she was to start the tryouts and practices this past week…she was ready to go and knew that she’d be busy, but seemed excited about it all. If I could have met her parents, I certainly would have complimented them on what a lovely daughter they have…who seems quite exceptional for someone her age! With goals like being a pediatrician someday and heading off to college next fall…across the country…those are things to be praised and her parents have obviously done an exceptional job in raising her! Kudos to them…and to you, Rachel!!
Such a beautiful and natural smile…
We had a bright day, no clouds and although it was comfortable to start, it did warm up with time, but Rachel never complained and just kept her great attitude and smile through the whole session!
Rachel, you were a delight to photograph and I thoroughly enjoyed your session. I can’t wait for you to see the rest of the photos…you were such a great subject and made my job easy with your relaxed and natural personality! Good luck with volleyball!!!
With Gina’s mom, mother in-law and sisters putting on the shower, it seemed fitting that we get a photo of all of them…and the next time they will all be together, it will be to welcome Gia to their families!!
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!!
