I had a lot of fun taking Christopher’s senior pictures–once I found him, that is! I kept thinking surely I was lost trying to get out to his house. I thought I knew Henry County pretty well, but I’d never ventured into that neck of the woods before. I enjoyed the drive, though; it was a perfect fall day and the scenery was beautiful. I took my time on the way back and stopped at a little church that had an old stone fence around the cemetery, and took several photos there too. One of my former students and I did a project on Henry County’s stone fences a few years ago, so I was surprised and happy to come across another one that we didn’t discover before.
Christopher did a great job, especially once his mom and I figured out we only needed to say a certain name to make him smile 
He’s a great looking guy and I love how his pictures turned out. Here are a few favorites…

I can’t believe Michael is a senior this year! I remember him and his buddies getting into mischief and driving me crazy in the cafeteria my first year of teaching, when I had the un-enviable job of middle school lunchroom monitor. I guess he would have been in 6th or 7th grade. He is probably twice the height now that he was then!

I had so many comments about the fountain photos, I thought I’d post a few more. None of these are particularly stellar quality (blurry, etc), but I think they are a lot of fun anyway.

Last but not least! Doesn’t Amanda have the best moody look?
I feel like Amanda H. is almost getting shortchanged, but there have already been a few pics of her posted with the other girls, and like Sydney, we’ve only had one session so far. We’ll catch up next week when we go out again. A new adventure awaits…

Good grief, I am the worst editor. I have such a hard time picking out my favorites! When you’ve got models as gorgeous as these girls, it is hard to take a bad picture. It also helps that they have a wonderful sense of self-confidence and adventure.

Here are several featuring Heather. I had a tough time narrowing them down, but there are also more because these are from 2 different sessions. The best thing about Heather is her great big beautiful smile;but she does a pretty good Zoolander pout too Stay tuned for the 2 Amandas, coming up next…

Twice so far this summer, I’ve had the pleasure of taking out a few of my favorite former students and doing a fun girly photo shoot (well, we did have a male companion with us last time; sorry for my horrible driving, Ian!). The idea came from the popular “trash the dress” trend, here applied to prom dresses in a senior photo type shoot, instead of wedding dresses. We’ve had an absolute blast both times, and have one more date coming up in a week or so. I could not have asked for better models (or a better art director, either, Amanda!) Here are a few of my favorites featuring the beautiful and miraculous Sydney from our last time together. Over the next few days, I’ll feature my favorites of each of the other girls as well. To read for yourself what a true miracle Sydney is, please visit her blog at www.sydneyalvey.com.
