I first met Renee a couple of years ago when her mom and a couple of friends booked a combined Moms and Daughters session as surprise Christmas gifts for their husbands. I didn’t put the session on my blog at first as it was a big secret, and I’ve realized it looks like I didn’t remember to do it in January, which is too bad because it was a great session and a wonderful idea! Anyway, Renee is back, just as beautiful, still a committed athlete and student, all grown up and ready for her senior year.

Renee’s dad has been her softball coach for many years, so this photo is a really nice addition to her senior portraits..

Teddy and Bailey. Bailey is a sweet old lady, but Teddy, being a youngster and full of bounce, has to be commended for (mostly) not chasing the many rabbits that were hopping around and teasing him..

Micah is a talented three-sport athlete – take a look at that amazing letterman’s jacket, it’s a work of art! – as well as a great student and all-around great guy. He had some ideas about his senior portraits and it was fun to work with him to bring those ideas to life.

I am always so honored when families come back to me again and again – Micah is Tyler‘s younger brother from last year. What a cool family!
