Corey and Danielle: Seniors!!

Well, we just got back from an amazing trip to Florida! We worked a little, rested a little, got a little sun - it was so great! Lots of fun pictures to come from that soon and hopefully a viable excuse for why I'm behind on blogging?

Just before we left, we got to hang out with siblings Corey and Danielle who are both about to graduate from college! BIG congratulations!!

So to document the occasion, we spent the afternoon at RSM Lake hanging out. Corey is graduating with a degree in business:

I always try to keep sessions like this fun and relaxed; I thought these really captured Corey as he really is!



Danielle is getting her degree in Psychology - whoo whoo! Shout out to psych majors - the degree of champions! I was excited to see her sporting a Psi Chi medal - the psychology honor society which I was also in when I was in school. Doesn't that make us sisters or something? Awesome!




The graduates:

A little brotherly-sisterly love:

Big congratulations to you both! This is such a huge accomplishment and I'm so excited to see what's in store for you both!!

Matthew

Well, ladies, as promised . . . I'm back with some more shots of my awesome (and not bad looking) brother-in-law Matthew! I absolutely love shooting sessions with individuals - it's so fun to get to really work with one person and just play and have fun!! So, needless to say, it was such a great afternoon for me AND to top that off, we ended the afternoon with a sushi lunch - it doesn't get much better than that!


Matty's the youngest of his 5 siblings and it's hard to believe that he'll be graduating from high school in just a couple of months. If my calculations are correct, I first met him when he was 6 or 7 - it's been so fun to watch him grow and develop into such a great student, artist, and person over the years. We finally got a chance to do some Senior pictures of him over Christmas when we were in Nashville.


We actually shot these on Christmas Eve which was awesome but FREEZING! Matthew was such a great sport to run all around with us in freezing weather and listen to us California-skinned people gripe about the cold :) I do actually love winter light and the look of cold days. I love this winter sky background:


Our intention was to shoot all around the streets of downtown Nashville, but we ended up spending about 75% of our time in the parking garage that we parked in - I was so inspired when we pulled in!






How cool is this light . . . I was so pumped. What a find!






This is the "I look like I'm 30 and an Abercrombie model (with more clothes)" shot:




Matthew has had such a great senior year that will cap off soon with the lead in the spring musical at his school - he's super talented! We're so excited to see what the next few years hold for him!
