Sienna’s summer session did not disappoint! When we do sessions at this location it is 100% in the water! Good thing it is a time of year it feels really good, it’s pretty shallow, a little tough to maneuver around in but absolutely gorgeous! I love these blues on her and the mix of a long and short dress! Her hair and makeup are on point and those nails! I try to guide my seniors and families and help them understand that the small details can make the biggest impact. All the hard work is done up front so that makes the session just fun! It’s like taking a test. If you study for the test, you go into the test feeling good. If you don’t study for the test, you don’t feel so good! Oh wow, that was a great analogy! haha

Sienna is one of our Season Seniors! She might be small and beautiful but know that this girl is also tough and mighty in so many ways. I can’t wait to showcase all of her hobbies and interests as we work together during this BIG milestone year for her.

#committed

Prior to April 12, interest from D1 & D2 colleges to play soccer
April 12, tears her ACL, MCL & meniscus
May 11, surgery
Offer from one college, others kind of went quiet, some said let us know when you are healed up.
If you don’t know about this injury it is a VERY LONG recovery. She cannot play soccer until mid May at the earliest, right around graduation.
Spent her senior year on the sidelines cheering her high school team on, taking stats, and their number one fan!
She has been so dedicated to her recovery. PT is strong, back at CrossFit gym doing most things modified and mastering her pull ups! Getting stronger every day!
She has good days and bad days as expected! Wondering if her dream of playing college soccer would even still happen. Not only being on a college soccer team but actually playing, scoring goals, warming up, putting on uniform, getting sweaty, cheering her team on and having that bond and connection with like minded people!
Idea…
Her favorite club coach moved back to Wyoming to coach college soccer. He has gone above and beyond to connect her to colleges, guide her in responding to text messages and emails and has given her books to read to help her reach her potential! She has read every book and has followed his guidance with so much gratitude and grit! So I sent a crazy text to him and asked him if he had room for Pressly on his team. He said, heck yes!! My idea was that she could get back into soccer shape and play under her favorite coach and then being that it is a two year college, their focus is transferring kids so then he could continue getting her connected to bigger colleges or if she loves it there she can stay there.
Idea presented to Pressly. Her response, “Wyoming”?? I said, that is what people say about Idaho!
Next was a road trip to watch a game, tour the college, tour the towns and you know what? She loved the small town feel, loved the idea of playing for Rob, and loved the campus and all it had to offer!
The video of her telling Rob she wanted to commit was priceless!
I’m so proud of you Pressly! I write this with tears streaming down my face, I get to still be a soccer mom!!!

One day I was in high school and graduating the same year as her dad and now I am doing her senior portraits! It has been so great to stay in contact with high school friends and their families. When Jamie contacted me to do Tia’s senior portraits, I was honored!

Tia is one of our season senior tribe members. Her first session was in the water in super cute summer dresses and she is just so naturally stunning! Look at that beautiful girl! I look forward to the rest of her sessions. We are capturing her with volleyball and updating family portraits at her fall session.

JT & Jamie…thank you for trusting me to capture Tia’s BIG milestone year! I look forward to the rest of Tia’s sessions. Way to rock your first session, Tia! See you in the fall!!
