Tara: senior

A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege to take these senior pictures for Tara. Tara is a an avid reader and it was fun to capture that side of her. She is a sweetie too - she went with everything I threw at her. Climb a tree, Tara. Sure! Roll in the leaves, Tara. Alright. Sit on the road, Tara. Okay! 

What wasn't fun, was this prego lady trying to, for example, take pictures from the ground level. Can't really stretch out on the ground much these days. But I'm happy with this moody, romantic shoot! 

This is kind of like beauty and the beast, only better!

Meet Kirby, everybody! 

She is this gorgeous blond, who is very thoughtful, wholesome, and whose work is helping people everyday. I get to call her my friend! I'll never forget the day after my baby girl was born and immediately airlifted to a different hospital. My husband went with Annika to be by her side and I was left alone at our hospital to heal my birthing wounds. Kirby brought girly magazines and spent all day with me. Except for the part my wonderful lactation consultant kicked her out for a few minutes:)  

Kirby speaks truth to my heart. Recently, after a certain huge disappointment, she reminded me how much I have in this life and made sure to "caution against discontentment". Exactly what I needed to hear at that moment. Thank you, friend!

For this shoot, she was willing to trespass with me (shhh!!!) so that I could fulfill my dream of taking pictures at this forgotten building (aka the most photographed building in town... I'm so original:)) that is about to fall apart.  I love love love how these pictures turned out and it's so hard to pick a few favorites!!!So, yes! This girl!!! { Insert an emojy with hearts for eyes.}
