This post has been a long time coming! Marea’s session took place right before I returned to the classroom and now, three weeks in, we are now past Homecoming Week (where Marea was on HOCO Court!) and I can carve out a few minutes to write up a post that Marea deserves. I got to meet her family last summer when I photographed her big brother, Vinny, and I knew instantly that her mom, Michelle, is the kind of person with whom you can be yourself. What a gift to have as Marea’s parent! I was super excited to know I’d get to photograph Marea too!
Marea is a football team manager-that job description in and of itself lets me know that Marea is dependable, loyal, organized and knows her stuff. To manage a huge group of sweaty (dare I say, smelly?) high school boys, takes a labor of love and service to others. I am so thankful to know Marea and have her be a #cksenior-I truly get to work with the best!
We started downtown and because Marea and Michelle had worked through my Senior Session Planning Template, we were able to blitz, which then gave us more time at the end of the session for some extras! We used 6 locations in the downtown area and 4 outfits, with sunlight to spare-all because of preplanning!
Marea : I am so impressed with your strength. To watch your mom serve as a nurse with the medical examiner through the pandemic and want to go into nursing yourself-I am in awe! Your heart for service to others is commendable and I know you will go on to do great things beyond high school. It’s been a joy to work with you and I wish you all the best on your senior year!
Much love,
Carrie
