The answer is: "Yes."
The question is: "Is she as sweet as she looks?"
I've known Natalie since she was a third grader. (Oh-my-gosh...that makes me feel old!). She was the quiet, shy kid always wearing a grin but not having too much to say.
Then she became a teenager! LOL!
I'm so proud of Natalie because I've watched her grow into a beautiful young lady, both physically and spiritually.
Not only is she an excellent student, she also is super talented! She's creative, she plays three
instruments and the girl can sing!!!
But even if she couldn't do any of those things, I would still count it a great honor to know her. She has a heart as big as the state she lives in (Texas) and she follows God with all her heart.
Here's just a few of my favorites. Honestly, there were so many, it was hard to just pick a few!
Urban photography is so much fun. You can find lots of different backdrops in just a two block radius. It's awesome!
Meet "Barney" the purple guitar. Seriously--that's its name! Natalie special ordered this little beauty because purple is her favorite color. For the record, the other two instruments that she brought along for our shoot were a
clarinet and a
saxophone. Cool!
M.I.A.--Mom In Action
Moms: Think you'll get to sit back and enjoy the senior photography experience? Think again! We put you to work!! When Mom wasn't toting Natalie's stuff, she was holding a reflector for me! :) Thanks, Mom!
Autumn is officially my favorite season & I think it should be everyone
else's, too!
Beau. ti.

As I've mentioned, Natalie is a Christian. We took some shots with a Bible. In this picture, she is outlining her current favorite scripture verse between her fingers. In case you can't make it out, it's Matthew 6:34: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." So true!!
Trying a different angle...
The senior tee. Lucky for us, there happened to be a green wall in the exact shade of her school color: Hawk Green!

The sky was so incredibly blue that evening...and it also got incredibly cold (notice how they are huddling together for warmth?)!
Another blue sky example. This was a tough shot--the sun set very quickly and we ended up working in the dark for a few. I do like the architecture, though....and I added a little texture just for fun.
