Elena and I met Alyssa almost three years ago.  We were taking pictures for a dance studio in the area and Alyssa was kind enough to help us with posing for the young dancers.  She was so kind and patient with the little girls.  She stayed there with us for almost the entire day helping all the little dancers into their first position stances.

Over the past few years we have had the opportunity to get to know Alyssa much better...this time because of her mom's help.  Koren arranged for us to take pictures of the Lockhart Lionettes.  We had a great time with the Lionettes and have been lucky enough to be their photographer for three years now.  As we have gotten to know them better, Alyssa and Koren have come to be very special to us and we are so thankful that we get to call them friends!

We weren't just thankful...we were ecstatic when Koren asked us to take Alyssa's senior pictures.  To be honest, it wasn't a real tough job.  Alyssa is a beautiful young lady and she came prepared to shoot (I told her to bring some different outfits to choose from, the back of her car was FULL!!!).  We had a wonderful time being creative and taking pictures and eating dinner (thanks Koren!) and laughing!  It was so special for Elena and I to be able to be a part of Alyssa's senior year.

Alyssa, you are such a special person, so sweet and talented.  Thank you for sharing your kind heart with us for the past few years.  We are so proud of you for being so close to this major milestone in your life.  We wish you the very best of luck for this last year of high school and for the road that God is preparing you for in the future!
