Stephanie

No, contrary to popular belief, we aren't dead... just super busy! And unfortunately, the blogs suffer when we get super busy. Sad, but true... =(

Introducing yet another talented, beautiful ASD senior... Stephanie! This girl has a set of pipes like you wouldn't believe. Her powerful, soulful voice will just send shivers up your spine! We've seen her in a couple of school musicals, and every time, we can't help but drop our jaws when she starts singing. I am so eager to see where Stephanie's incredible talent leads her. I met up with Stephanie a couple of months ago- Months?! Really? Are we THAT far behind??? Eeek!- just before sunset at the beach. The afternoon turned out to be oh-so windy. And beautiful Stephanie... well, she has loooong, flowing hair... enough said, you can imagine our dilemma... We spend the majority of our session patiently waiting for momentary pauses between gusts, and still managed to walk away with some gorgeous images where her hair wasn't standing on end!








































Thank you, Stephanie, once again for asking me to document this exciting milestone in your life. Best of luck in all your future adventures, and whatever you do, keep on singing!

Christine

I'm pleased to introduce Christine, another one of ASD's gorgeous and talented seniors! We first saw Christine when she portrayed a bubbly love-struck teen in our school's musical, All Shook Up. Donning a sassy pair of horned-rim glasses, and totally hamming it up, she was just too cute! We met with a far more subdued, but absolutely lovely Christine at Bastakiya for her senior portraits. Along with Christine's mother, we wandered through the narrow alleys and dreamy open air galleries, oohing and ahhing (ok, I'll admit I was even sqealing with delight at times!) as we stumbled upon perfect photo site after perfect photo site. Christine's mother surprised us at the end of our session with a beautiful book about the Bastakiya. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and a lovely momento from our day. Thank you so much!!! I seriously can not get over the incredible beauty of Bastakiya! Nor can I get over the incredible beauty of our model! Christine carried herself with such poise and grace, and she was so natural in front of the camera. I was absolutely floored when I learned that she had never before modeled! I think I must have asked her, "Are you SURE you've never modeled before???" somewhere around five or six times. I guess I was thinking if I emphasized the word "sure" enough that she would somehow change her answer. Umm, Christine, if your future plans don't work out, I think you could have an incredibly successful modeling career!
Thank you again for asking us to document this milestone in your life- we had an absolute ball with you!!!


Be ready for lots of images of this stunning lady! I just couldn't narrow them down...
