I loved working with Harlee again this year. This time we met up for a senior photo session. She brought her mom along for laughs and "protection" (there's always a lot of excitement/drama when you shoot in the Jax Beach area) and several cute outfits to wear. In fact she changed 4 times in less than an hour. I'm pretty sure that's a record!

Stephanie is one of those people who you meet once and never, ever forget. No, seriously. She has a larger-than-life personality, likes to laugh and never meets a stranger. Steph is graduating this year from the University of North Florida, so we got together recently at the Jacksonville Zoo for her senior pictures. My favorite part about this shoot is that you can see her crazy, fun Stephanie-ness in ever shot.

Congratulations, Miss College Graduate!

Last week I got to work with the Miss Mandarin High Schoolpageant contestants again! Every year the girls have head shots taken before the competition. The pictures are used to choose Miss Photogenic and are in the program that's handed out on the big night. I love working with these girls, and I'm convinced that every female who attends this school is gorgeous. Frankly, it's not fair. :)

And a few shots of last years' winner before she reluctantly hands over her sparkly crown. :)

Oh...PS-Thanks for participating in the Q and A on Formspring. So far I'm really enjoying it!

-Loved this shoot.
-I Never really wanted a sister until watching Morgan and Jensen interact with each other.
-They are extremely close. The whole twin thing; so evident with them.
-Every time I said, "Strike a pose," they did something eerily similar...without knowing it.
-Both girls picked out the same outfit to wear the night before...without knowing it. Not sure who had to change. :)
-They could be triplets, because their mom looks JUST LIKE THEM. I was confused when we met up, thinking, "I thought there were 2 of them. There are 3?"
-We had the worst. weather. ever. Cold, cloudy and windy. The girls were such good sports though. I whined about being cold way more than them, and I was bundled up!

M & J, I had so much fun working with you. Thank you for being the best clients imaginable. :)
Congratulations on making it through 13 years of school-whoo hoo!!!

Their birthday is on the 14th. :)

Over the last couple of years I've designed quite a few graduation announcements for high school seniors. But this is my first time doing a graduation "save the date". When Ashley ordered these she explained that she has a lot of family coming to her graduation from out of town. She wants to give them plenty of notice, so they can all make the trip. What a great idea!

Ashley's style is classic and fun, so the black and white card with a punch of color fit her perfectly. :)
