My session with Kelly was very interesting. The forecast called for a 20% chance of rain not long before I left the house to meet her and her Mom. While driving there the clouds seemed to darken the sky but it still appeared that they were south of where we were to meet. But about ten minutes into our session it started sprinkling. We headed to the closest shelter and not long after it started to pour. People were coming in from all over the park. There were men with drums, belly dancers, and kids running around drenched from the rain. It seemed very surreal. The beating from the drums was so loud that I had trouble hearing my own voice. Kelly seemed to be taking it all in stride, she mentioned several times that parts of the evening seemed like they were scenes from a movie. With the overcast sky Kelly skin radiated  and you could see the many colors in her hazel eyes. Kelly was such a fun and easy going girl, I wish her the best as she goes off to start school in the fall.

Chelsey is a beautiful girl from California, with such a sweet bubbly personality. We were not sure we were going to be able to make it work with the threat of rain and Chelsea being diagnosed with strep the day before. But she rocked it!

When Jacqueline contacted me to take her and Steve’s pictures just because they wanted to I was ecstatic. As adults we often times don’t think about getting our pictures taken or feel like we need a special occasion. I had fun with Jacqueline and Steve doing the things that are special to them.  

Spending the afternoon with Mandy and her mom was so much fun. She was up for my crazy ideas and she even brought a few of her own. She is getting ready to graduate this spring and I am sure she will do great things; I wish her the best this coming year.

I enjoyed getting to meet another fun family. I love getting to meet new people and capture a little bit of history with them. We spent some time at the beautiful Union Station. Thank you for allowing me to spend some time with your family.
