When Alex’s Mom called about scheduling his Senior photo session we talked about details and when I asked about his interests and hobbies she told me that he was in the middle of getting his pilot’s license.  I thought, HOW COOL!  I suggested, “What about getting some shots with planes?”  She loved the idea so we planned to do the whole session at the airport. Brett and I were really excited about this session. We loved how it was so unique and personal to Alex.  But on a side note, if I had to hear Brett sing the theme song from “Top Gun” one more time, I might have screamed. :)

On to ALEX!!

This is the plane he flies with….

Then we walked around the airport and looked at some other cool planes.

They were taking off right behind us.

I love this old vintage plane. Looks like something off the set of “LOST.”

We tried to get some regular non-plane shots too around the hangers.

I love this shot because he was looking over and smiling at his Mom.   I can’t imagine how nervous she must feel knowing he is up in the air all the time. Alex has already enlisted in the air force too.  I know her heart goes up in that plane every time it takes off.

What a great SMILE!!

Alex, thanks so much for getting up early to hang with us. We had a blast walking around the airport and hearing about everything. We wish you the best of luck your Senior year, and the years after in the air force! Be safe for your MAMA.  :)

Wow oh wow!  Danielle….can you say BEAUTIFUL??  Because that is sooo what you are.  :)

So, let’s see here. I had the pleasure of meeting up with beautiful Danielle to do her photos at a beautiful park here in Cincinnati.  Her beautiful Mama, beautiful Aunt, and beautiful cousin came along with us.  AND GUESS WHAT?  We had the most BEAUTIFUL DAY to work with!!  (Ok, a new adjective is now in order.)  But really, it was the perfect temperature, the sky was so blue with pretty white fluffy clouds, and the sunset was stunning!!  To top it off, Danielle was really a natural.  She had loads of advice from her entourage (that’s all I’m saying, I promise :) ) but really I found that my favorite moments of Danielle were those where she just was herself, unscripted.

This photo screams 70’s, and I LOVE it.  :)

One of my favorites!

Maybe it’s just me, but I think here Danielle looks like a blonde Claire Danes.

I love how she wrinkles her nose when she smiles!  :)

ANOTHER FAV!!!

This is where she gets the CUUUTE nose-wrinkling thing!  Her beautiful Mama.  :)

She wants a peace tattoo….

So, people were walking their cute (TINY) puppy and Danielle’s Mom asked if we could borrow him for a picture.  Then we told the puppies parents to check the blog for his pic.  :)

Gorgeous!!

Then we had the crazy idea to get in the fountain.  SURE!  Danielle was up for whatever.

I love this shot too.

Thanks guys for a wonderful evening! :)
