Olivia has really outdone herself connecting me with Senior representatives for the Class of 2010. First she connected me with the fabulous Brandon and Josh and earlier this week I got to meet Shannon…another wonderful soon to be senior.

She and I talked a bit before we met about her style, and I was pretty excited when she said she was a “girlie girl”…and I loved when I met her and she was wearing this beautiful dress and peep toe pumps.

And the dress and shoes were fabulous for sure, but look at this face…(sigh)

Then she changed into yet another adorable and colorful outfit…I LOVED it!

collage1Thank you Shannon. You are GORGEOUS and wonderful and I’m so glad that you are working with me this year!

I’ve been wanting to photograph this boy for the longest time. We went to the Long Branch ranch and saloon which was so SO cool. The textures and colors and variety of things to shoot was incredible. It was a bit of a challenge to focus too much on all of that because my subject was a running, jumping, squirming wild man. Not only that, but with a face like this I couldn’t help but zoom in a lot of the time.Faces and I had to resort to one of my favorite types of photos…those from the rear view…there were so many doors and this curious cutie wanted in all of them.
