rustic pear photography - seniors 2011


i was honored to have been able to take senior pictures of some amazing young men and women this past year. it was so great to learn more about each of them during the shoot and to hear the excitement in their voice about what the future holds. as a photographer i was so happy to have been part of their journey.

as a mother my heart breaks...each shoot i think, "soon this will be me watching my baby get ready to go out into the world." i know i can't keep them in a little cocoon protected from the world forever but i would like to.

as a teacher, it was joyful to see some of the kids that i have taught or have known since they were a child, to have grown up to be such outstanding young men and women. thank you to each of you and your families for allowing me the opportunity to capture a little part of each of your lives!!!

Your have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

So...you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!
-Dr. Seuss
