Whew, we did it team! We made it through a real whirlwind of a month! I swear that I just blinked and August was over in quick a flash. Even though the summer came to an end, that means the start of a whole new school year. And with a new school year, comes fall sports! Between all of the fall sports starting back up and a variety of senior sessions, my camera was busy!
I always think there’s something so special about the month of August especially for my seniors. It’s the anticipation of their last year of high school and all of which that entails. It’s definitely a milestone worth celebrating and I’m always honored to capture these seniors so they can remember this time in their lives! August took us to Lowe Park in Marion, Kent Park in Tiffin, Iowa River Landing in Iowa City, various high school football fields and gyms, then everywhere in between! We made our way through some incredible wildflowers and sunflowers as well as walks along some lakes. I know people underestimate Iowa but we are truly surrounded by so much beauty! I saw so many cool jerseys and uniforms plus vibrant colors, floral prints, and casual wear. My seniors sure know how to style themselves for their sessions!
From seniors to sports, how lucky are we to be surrounded by so many incredible school districts with amazingly talented athletes?! From the football field to the volleyball court, and the cross country course to the golf course (fun fact: those are usually one in the same, ha!) and other venues, each one of these student athletes always amaze me! They are so dedicated to their sport by participating in camps and practices on hot summer days. They value the importance of teamwork and they know how to have fun! As always, it is my absolute pleasure to create these team posters - especially the individual senior banners. Here’s a quick rundown of the various area schools and their teams that I photographed this month:
CPU: volleyball, marching band
Iowa City West: volleyball
Liberty High School: football, cross country, golf, dance, volleyball, and cheer
Prairie High School: cheer, cross country, football, poms, volleyball, and fishing team
Springville: football, volleyball, cross country, color guard, and cheer
Trojan Bolts: swimming & diving
There are so many athletes that I'm hoping to see compete this fall and I wish each of you the best of luck! If you are part of a winter sport or another extracurricular and want to get on my calendar, contact me now! There’s still some spots open but I’m already filling up fast!
August was one for the books to say the least! Senior, sports, senior, sports.... and repeat all month long! There are only 31 days in August but somehow I managed to squeeze in 33 photo shoots! That just might be a record for me and it's because of all of you trusting me to capture these memories for you! I appreciate my clients so much. And just like that, summer falls into September so bring on the Friday Night Lights, more senior sessions, shacket season, and pumpkin spice everything! See you in a flash!
