As some of you may know a few months back I was offering two free senior sessions for deserving seniors.  I had several great nomination choices and ended up selecting one guy and one girl.  I am featuring the winning young lady first.  Miss A is very artistic and I had the privilege of photographing her throwing on the wheel.  I couldn’t get over how  easy she made it look.  I felt like I hadn’t even gotten started good before she was done.  I see why she has made it to state two different times!  Then we enjoyed her animals and the beauty at her home outside of Rockport.  I still can’t decided which animal is my favorite! I enjoyed the ease that Miss A demonstrated as we went through the session.  I am not only excited to share some of her images here but also a little Q & A.  Enjoy Miss A’s senior session.

Going to state in the VASE and Art competition.  I have gone twice.  The first time we went ice-skating and the second time we played laser tag.  Both were fun!!!
