Brooke - Brunswick High School Senior

We had been trying to photograph Brooke's senior portraits for months, but the weather never wanted to cooperate.  Finally, on a beautiful weekday this month, we were able to head to Hinckley Lake Reservation.  Brooke enjoys spending time here.  I love when a client picks a spot that is meaningful to them.  She was so fun to work with and completely understood what Smize (smile with your eyes) is (thank you America's Next Top Model).

Megan - Strongsville High School Senior

Sheesh!  Poor Megan has been neglected by my blog.  In fact, her senior year is coming to an end, and I have yet to blog her session from over the summer.

I met Megan through our church's Life Teen program, and was so excited when she asked me to take her senior photos.  Because Scott is the person that volunteers, I don't truly get to know many of the teens.  Sure, I see them in passing and when they are doting on Alexander's cuteness, but it's rare for me to see who they are as people.  Being able to photograph Megan was such a blessing, because it allowed me to get to know her in a way that wouldn't have otherwise been possible, and I am glad I got the change because she is such a kind soul.  In some ways, Megan reminds me a lot of myself.  She is easy going and likes to try new things.  She is introverted and quiet until you get to know her.  That's when you get to see her fun side.  She is mature, but I don't get the impression that she takes life too seriously...just serious enough.  The biggest part of Megan that I've seen as I've gotten to know her, is her genuinely sweet personality.  She is joyful to be around and you can't help but smile when you see her.

Michelle - Strongsville High School Senior

Oh, how I love this girl!  I met Michelle through our church's Life Teen program and truly feel so blessed to have gotten to know her over the last year.  I'm kinda bummed that I haven't known her longer.  I feel like I've been missing out.  She is thoughtful; the kind of girl that will notice something small and compliment you on it.  She is loyal and loves her friends and family fiercely.  She is kind and has a heart to serve those in need.  She is filled with faith in Christ.  Michelle is beautiful in so many ways, and her inner beauty radiates to create a gorgeous young woman.

When I had the opportunity to photograph her senior portraits, I jumped.  She LOVES horses and the simple life.  So, naturally, we started her session alongside her horse Maverick.  Maverick has been a labor of love to train and his trust for her is magnificent.
