New Year Girls- 2012 :: Abilene Senior Portrait Photographer, San Angelo Senior Portrait Photographer

Since moving to the little town of Sweetwater, I've had the opportunity to photograph a handful of lovely high school ladies every December for the annual New Year Girl competition. What's a New Year Girl... well, the girls are nominated by their peers, they have head shots taken, and the images are submitted to a random judge (this year, I believe it will be a pro football player... who? not sure!). The girls are judged on how photogenic they are... and man, I'm sure this is not an easy choice. I had 7 lovely ladies this year... and if the rest of the girls are anything like these.... that judge is going to have a ROUGH time deciding who takes the cake! I wish all of you the best of luck! You are beautiful.... no judge necessary!

Some of the Fun Over the Last Few Weeks :: Abilene Family Photographer, Snyder Family Photographer

I could eat her UP!











The Chapman crew... LOVE this family to pieces!!



Rehearsing their silly faces... too funny!


















The Von Atzigen family.... near and dear to my family's hearts! These are our Pastors and dear friends... such fun for me to get to shoot their beautiful family's photos! :)



Love how Miss Brenna is "workin' it" for the camera!!






I am always captivated by Brant's eyes and his sprinkle of amazing freckles! :)






Caden is one of the funniest kids you'll ever meet... but I must say he did a great job of playing it "cool" for the camera!



Here's one where is true colors are shining through!! :) Too funny!






LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!









The lovely Sydni...



Sweet sisters.... :) Little Davis was loving being in that basket!







Above and Below: Couldn't decide which I liked better.... ?!






Part 1 of Hannah's Senior Portraits.... what a gorgeous girly... I've been waiting for 2 years to do Hannah's Senior session.... managed to squeeze her in at the last minute Thursday night... wanted to get her to this gorgeous spot and it's best in the evening light! We are getting together this week in the morning to do a few more urban-inspired shots too!






At the very end of our time together... the moon was rising right next to this little "cliff"... can't wait to bring her back out during the spring and bring some off-camera lighting for this type of scene...








And that's all for this moment... have 4 sessions this weekend and a wedding preview that I'll need to add in... stay tuned and as always, thanks for stopping by and for your great comments! :)
