Justin - Class of 2011 - Palmer Ridge Highschool

Loved working with Justin and his mom Teresa.  They are both so kind, sweet and laid back.  The whole session I would suggest something and Justin would just take it all in stride.  I did have to say "blue steel" a few times...I was worried he wouldn't know what I was talking about and then I would be feeling super old.  Phew...not yet, at least for that movie. 

This was also fun because I got to go to a SUPER freezing but cool ice rink...hockey rink, in particular.  Justin is a hockey player...really good at it too!  He's been playing since he was 3 years old.  And his team won state last year!  Awesome. 

I admit as I'm going out there on the ice...I'm thinking, "don't fall, don't fall, don't fall" and a few times, I think Justin was thinking the same thing towards me.  Hilarious.  BUT, I did not fall...and this ended up being pretty fun! 

Good luck this year Justin!  Hope your team wins another state championship!  So here, are a few pics from that session! 

Wes - Class of 2011 - Palmer Ridge High School...Part 2

So yes, Wes, gets two parts to his session. 

Why...well, you may remember him from a previous post.  The sweet bridge, rain...and the session WAS awesome BUT no sunshine.  A must...because Wes, is simply a super funny and a sweet guy.  Really, he is.  You can kind of see it in some of these photos...but he's laughing at me.  Shocking I know because I'm seriously so cool. ;p  

For some reason, with Wes, I end up either scaling large bridges or running up barefoot a steep rock wall (my flip flops really are not made for climbing walls).  But...in my defense, the best shot was the one that we took because we climbed that wall. 

Justified.  ;p 

Wes, you simply, make me laugh.   Love your style, your sense of humor...and I wish you the best! 

Chad - Class of 2011 - CSCS

Chad...hmm, soccer player/model.  Thats my first impression.  Okay, he's not really a model but he has that surfer, abercrombie and fitch look going for him. 


What's interesting is that he has a lot going for him...he's great at soccer (he didn't tell me that, his mom did) , his team won state last year!  He's smart, kind and giving.  He volunteers some of his time over at a camp during the summer.  How cool is that?  But whats interesting is, he's humble.  A character trait I find...beautiful and rare in most people.  He is part of family that loves him, cheers for him and supports him...obvious in the love between Chad and his mom Joy.  For me as a photographer, I see brief glimpse of someone...or impressions you could say.  Chad and Joy, cool people in my book. 


Super fun to hang with you guys!  Good luck this year Chad...
