Ashley won this photo shoot for free! I did my first Facebook giveaway contest and she singlehandedly help me gain about 20 new fans on my Fan Page throughout the contest. When I drew the winner, it was no surprise that Ashley's name was the one in my hand. All those extra fans gave her many additional entries which clearly worked for her in the end.
After a few messages back and forth, we got a date set right after the 4th of July. Ashley has been in Cross Country throughout her high school career, so I thought it would be fun to do some shots at the track at school. We started out there, after sweet talking one of the Athletic Directors into letting us on the track for a short time. (okay it wasn't THAT hard, but it's more fun to tell it that way!)
Holy mackeral was it ever hot! Even at 8:30 in the morning, there was no shade and the sun was beating down on the black top and us! I have to say though, Ashley was such a great sport. She did whatever I asked and hung in there until I got what I wanted in images.
Next, we headed to a nearby Park District park. I always love shooting at new locations. This spot was perfect with bridges and trees and a river and so many beautiful things all around. We walked and took pictures and talked and took pictures and had a lot of fun! Ashley truly knows how to look right into the camera and give sincere smiles with her eyes, which always makes such a difference in getting great images.
I can hardly wrap my head around how grown up she is now. It just doesn't seem possible. It was a true joy photographing her.
I wish you all the best in the your final year of high school Ashley! It will fly by before you know it. Have fun! Enjoy the photos!
