this is alyshia…one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet.

i met her about a year and a half ago at our church.  we got to be cabin buddies at a winter camp and i have enjoyed getting to know her ever since.  i even get to see her twice a week.  twice.  lucky me!

she is beautiful both on the inside and out.  she cares so much about the people around her and i love to hear her tender prayers for the ones she loves.

it was a bit cold out but we found some awesome locations as we wandered.  the trees blooming made such a perfect backdrop that it was hard to move on to the next place.

alyshia’s sweet mother came along on the shoot and was an excellent cheerleader, stylist and model positioner.  i loved having her there but found the most joy (and was moved near to tears myself) to see her get a bit teary eyed as she watched her beautiful daughter.  they have a great relationship and it is very clear that mama passed down a ton of what makes alyshia so sweet.

thank you alyshia.  for allowing me the privilege of taking your senior portraits.  you truly are a beautiful woman and i am excited to see where your future takes you.
