I have NO idea how it happened….but little courtney down the street grew up overnight, and is now a stunning young lady. In fact, I was going through my old box of pictures ( yes, the photographer has an old box of pictures that are totally unorganized) …lol any way……  I found a picture of Courtney and her brother sitting at my kitchen counter eating birthday cake. It was Robbie’s birthday  and all the kids had been outside playing ( at this point we had not lived there very long and had not met their parents), so I had them go home and ask if they could stay for birthday cake!  I think Courtney must have been in the 3rd or 4th grade. That was the beginning of of some really fun times. Before any of us had built in pools, I remember blow up pools in my front yard and all the kids splashing around, the dogs running wild, and me in a lawn chair trying to read a magazine! Ok….. enough of the trip down memory lane, lets get on with the GORGEOUS images of Little Courtney…

Oh Travis, how sweet are you to share the spotlight with your gorgeous girlfriend! lol, Seriously it was such an awesome idea to include her. She made you laugh, you made her laugh, you both made your moms and me laugh. You two are adorable. Heading downtown to The Mission Inn district was the perfect grungy backdrop to contrast your dressed up outfits. Good luck young man with your baseball career, I cant wait to hear about all of your success, heck, I love hearing all about it now With your talent, sweet smile and fun personality you cant help but go where ever you dang well want to! King High School Baseball is lucky to to have you. Im not going to give your entire shoot all away just yet  because this is just Part 1 of his session. This Spring will be part 2 so hold on more gorgeous pics to follow…..

I met Erika a few years ago when I shot her sister Nikki’s Senior Pictures. Mom wanted me to do a shot of them together for their Christmas card that yr. so Erika tagged along with Nikki, and this yr. it was Nikki’s turn to tag along with Erika! We headed downtown for our session. first stop was a favorite back alley. Yes its a little weird being in a back alley. Yes workers come out the back doors for their cigarette break and  find us the source of entertainment! lol, its all good. This time we even had a dad and his kids riding by on bikes… “Who rides bikes downtown through an alley”? Let just say its a good thing Erika isn’t easily intimidated.

Here is this years picture of the two of them together for this years Christmas card! Stunning right? Thanks girls, you were a ton of fun to hang out with.
