Adina {sEnIoR}

Adina + me on a gorgeous San Antonio day = fabulous senior session

See, Adina likes math. I like math. I like Adina...I usually like every person I come in contact with actually :) But I really like Adina.

Adina and I clicked the minute I walked into her foyer. For her family, it was odd that a person would come over to meet them before a photo-shoot. After the shoot, her mamma smiled and commented on how personal and nice the experience was.

Experience.

The senior market here is much different than in Great Falls, MT. Most folks stick with the studio that the schools contract out. They pop out so many sessions, that there is no time to get to know each senior. The photographer doesn't get the privilege to know their story, or find out what their passions are...and you can tell in the pictures. I'm not doggin' on high volume studio portraits...to each his own...I'm just sayin' that senior year is a BIG deal to each senior. So why not offer something that makes THEM a big deal?

I was so excited that I was able to take Adina's pictures...she got to EXPERIENCE something that most seniors don't down here.

I'm hoping to change that.

So here's to the first:

Adina...

children's church leader.
number cruncher.
cheerleader.
Snuggy cuddler.
Jesus lover.

And my new friend...
