What a happy day Lexi, her mom and I had for her senior picture experience.  It was a gorgeous, sunny day and somewhat of a reunion for us.  Well, I had not met Lexi before but I felt like I already knew her a little.  Two years ago I photographed her sweet, shy sister Erin who was headed off to Texas A&M and I enjoyed getting to know her and her mom so much…and I loved listening to her mom’s South African accent.  At the time they told me about how Lexi was much different than Erin so “just wait” for her senior pictures.  Well, they were right.  Lexi is much different than her older sister.  Just as sweet, but sassier and definitely the extrovert of the two.   

Lexi is so full of spunk and life.  Confident, but humble…sassy, but polite…sweet, but strong.  I loved getting to know her so much.  Lexi was willing to do anything…see creek pics below!  🙂  I couldn’t quite convince her to be a Texas Aggie, but I know that she’ll get enough Aggie brainwashing experiences (if she hasn’t already!) with weekend road trips to see Erin in College Station.  Lexi, I hope that your college days in Norman are truly unforgettable and that you are the mover and the shaker that I envision you to be.  Boomer! 🙂

Plano West Senior High | Plano, Texas
plans to attend University of Oklahoma
major:  Special Education

in 15 years I will: be a mommy and a teacher. I’ll also be 33, but let’s not discuss that.

dream vacation: Greece, Israel and Italy and the top three places I’ve always wanted to go, but my heart belongs to Disney World. 

favorite meal: my mom’s artichoke pasta

People would be surprised to know that I: have an irregular fear of feet, bunnies and squirrels. Also I was training to be a professional ballet dancer until I was 16!

My most prized possession: My rings. One has the Star of David on it to remind me of my faith and the other is two hearts that make an infinity sign. I wear it to remind me that there’s infinite love in the world and I’m lucky enough to be constantly surrounded by it. 

my best talent: making everything about me and falling over things (I fell in the creek during our session at least 10 times) 

most influential person in my life: My mom because she taught me how to be the type of person I am and because she believes in me and my dreams in a way that no one else does. Also the inventor of ice cream. That person deserves an award. 

I’m happiest when: I’m napping or with my best friend (hi Ryan!)

best childhood/high school memory:  Winning Sweetheart in my youth group. In every boy chapter there is one elected girl who gets to spend the year with them. She’s basically treated like a princess and the day I won was easily the best day of my life.
