Up North On My Mind

Olivia ~ Tri-Valley High School ~ 2013

I love it when someone loves to smile...

Olivia is like that.. and it made for a FUN and EASY senior portrait session! And even when she wasn't smiling, her eyes still showed SOOOO much happiness. And you just can't help smiling along with her.

Here are just a few of the amazing images from Olivia's senior portrait session...

Thanks, Olivia, for giving me the opportunity to capture your beautiful smile... Good luck during your senior year at Tri-Valley High School and beyond!!!

Echinacea

I love my flower images...

Iris 'flight of butterflies'

Grow Through Life

Pure White Peony

I love this peony in our front yard perennial bed... it is pure white and smells like Ivory Soap :-)

Dana & Brandon ~ Married

Ralph Waldo Emerson on "Friendship"

(Thanks to my friend Tangie Sheets of Life Reflections by Tangie for posting this quote on Facebook the other day... I knew I had to use it on a flower photo when I read it).

Humble Princess

I recently had a senior portrait session with Michaela, a senior at Olympia High School. Three words come to mind when I see Michaela... First and foremost, faith... she has a deep passion for Christ and desires to go into youth ministry after college. Second, orator... she's an award winning speaker and participates in theatre productions. Third, confidence... she just has it.

The below image is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! When I first saw it straight out of my camera it spoke one word to me... humbleness.

• Humbleness in faith
• Humbleness in speech
• Humbleness in confidence

Beautiful image... Beautiful girl... Beautiful heart.

Thank you, Michaela, for allowing me to capture you... and good luck at Olivet!!!
