I first met Courtney last spring when I did a special prom package for her high school, Coventry Christian School. I was struck by her gorgeous blue eyes when I did her prom portraits, so when she signed on to be one of my Senior Reps, I was thrilled!
Courtney had her hair and make-up done by Jamie at Gwendolynn's Salon & Spa and I met her there to get a few shots of her getting ready. (Besides... I'll make any excuse to visit the awesome ladies at Gwendolynn's!) We then took off to the other side of town and shot her at St. Peter's Village, which is becoming a favorite location of mine!
Courtney was a fantastic model and a super sport and let me run her all over the village, shooting in every new pocket of light I could find. What a trooper!
Like all of my Senior Reps, Courtney shared with me a list of fun facts that make her Courtney, so that I could share them with you here.
1. I love to read... some of my favorite books are "The Last Song" and "The Hunger Games".
2. I have tried almost every sport out there: gymnastics, karate, dance, soccer, volleyball, and basketball.
3. My mom is from Germany and has lived here for around 23 years.
4. I am an army brat. I was born at West Point Army Academy (while my dad taught), and my dad is in the military.
5. I have been to Europe more than I can count; first time I was 8 months old.
6. I would rather stay in and watch movies and eat junk food with a group of friends than go out.
7. I love school and learning, but some days I just want to sleep!
8. I have been all over the US from California to Maine to Texas. Covered it all!
9. I LOVE the Phillies! They're one of the only professional sports teams I actually follow.
10. I love my parents so much and would have no idea what I would do without them.
11. I am a Christian and no matter what people say I won't change.
12. I love my school and all the people in it. It's more of a huge family!
13. Psalm 37:23-24 is my favorite Bible verse. ("The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him; though he may stumble he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.")
14. I plan on attending Harding University after I graduate from High School.
15. I love love love anything that involves chocolate, especially the European kind.
16. Every Christmas, my family has a German tradition, and for weeks before Christmas, we cook hundreds (I really do mean hundreds!) of different kinds of cookies.
17. I don't get to see my family a lot (they live in Missouri, Arkansas, and Germany) but it makes the time I do see them much more special.
18. I am an only child, but all of my friends are so close to me, I consider them family.
19. I LOVE all the crazy and weird things that my friends and I do.
20. I can't spell for my life, and I'm always asking others for help. And if I can't figure it out, I just use a different word!
Courtney, thank you so much for such a fun session, and thanks for being such a trooper! My goodness, we were out there for a long time, but it was so worth it!
And again, I have so enjoyed photographing these high school juniors that I wanted to find a way to entice more to come shoot with me. So I'm offering this special for any juniors or seniors out there who want to enjoy a session like this.
