So I mentioned to you in Alex’s Preview that this was her “2nd Senior Portraits.”  I like how her mom described it best, the first ones were the beginning of Senior Year and these were for the end of Senior Year.   I love that!

This is a big year for all Seniors and the best thing you can do is document every bit of it!  Whether you just graduated, like Alex, or are just about to enter your Senior Year, soak in every last minute of this year.  Heck, we really should do that with all of life’s moments, but you know, and I know, we all get caught up in life and forget to enjoy the moments.  Seniors – slow down and take it all in and enjoy it!  Woopsie, I got a little off topic, didn’t I?!  Could be the coffee talking.  ;)

Back to Alex, shall we?  I love Alex’s style.  I have been a fan of her for a while now.  Her clothes and her accessories, ohhh the accessories and the shoes!!  HA!  I suppose that I don’t need to tell you how much I love accessories and shoes, do I??  :)   Also, I really love the talks I have had with her mom Marsha and her sister Shon.  The three of them together made both of Alex’s Senior sessions memorable for me and I hope that I did the same for them too!

Alex is in Colorado right now, so she probably won’t get to see these for a bit, but I’m happy to share them with you all in the meantime.  :)

Parkview High School’s Liz Shah and I have been talking since last year.  She first contacted me late last year, but the weather is what really kept us waiting.  During all those months, we talked about her pictures, her plans for the future, but most of all, we just got to know each other.  By the time we finally met, it was like we had known each other for so much longer than we actually had!

Liz is also my very last Class of 2013 senior.  I absolutely adore her and her mother too!  I can’t thank them enough for their hospitality and kindness.

I know, without a doubt though, Liz will be successful when she leaves for college next month and I cannot wait to see her on TV one day reporting about medicine.  She’s going to Wow us all!

And oh yeah, speaking of Wow’ing us – can she smize like you wouldn’t believe?!?!  If I had to rate all of my “smizers,” Liz is in the lead!  LOL!     Don’t believe me – check this out!

Casey is my very first Class of 2014 Senior and will be heading back to Parkview High School in just a few short weeks!  I can’t believe it’s almost time for school to start back already, but who wants to dwell on that!?!  Not us, that’s for sure!  ;)

Let’s see a preview of Casey’s images instead, shall we!?!  :D

I’m so excited!!  Today, I finally get to show Casey and her family her Senior Portraits!

I wasn’t sure that this shoot would ever happen.  We’d been planning since last year…literally.  We had husbands building spinning wheels and aunts making custom tulle skirts and tutus.  We had model recasts and location changes.  We had to postpone three different times due to weather and oh yeah…the police showed up on the day of the shoot!

So you can see, it’s like the little engine that could – except it’s “Once Upon a Summer” and here is your sneak peek…
