Ashley creates art. Just recently, she received an award for her art at Carnegie Hall. If you're not sure what Carnegie Hall is, open up a new tab and google it, then come back right after you say "wow" and check out this girl, who is herself, a work of art. And say "wow" again.
You know why we love photography? Mackenzie. Yes, we loved making photos before we met her, but... beautiful girl, wonderful family, lovely light, fun times and memories made...that's the magic. That's what we love.
When I asked Andrea's coach how people get into pole vaulting, he looked at me for a moment before replying. "You have to be very fast, athletic...and a little bit crazy."
After having the opportunity to watch Andrea entrust her life to a pretty thin-looking flexible pole...I concur. Not for any lack of athletic ability or grace, though. Quite the opposite. She's the top pole vaulter in the state and in the top 15 in the country, so it's a treat to watch her.
But wait, there's more. Not only is she a 6-foot-tall force-to-be-reckoned-with, she's also a very nice, lovely young woman. So, who wouldn't want to hang out with her, capturing each incredible facet?
You'd have to be crazy.
We love working with other photographers, and lovely Shayla gave us that opportunity. We wandered around downtown, starting at Starbucks, of course (mmm...mocha), where we found ourselves in all sorts of places—alleys, store fronts, and the Mining Exchange Hotel. But as we went, we just seemed to get pulled into those... eyes! Closer... and closer... AND CLOSER! Well, just go look at the pictures and you'll see what we mean.
"Green Mountain Open Space." Sounds like a nice place, doesn't it? Fresh air, rolling hills, lots of green grass, mountain views and the occasional train! A perfect place to capture lovely Hannah...and her passion for running!
