Nathan enjoys photography.  His favorite subjects are landscapes.  I haven’t yet seen any of his landscapes but I am looking forward to seeing his work.

We met in downtown, Orlando, at Church Street, for the start of our session.  There is a great locomotive there, and that was our initial target.  After our time at Church Street, we headed over to my favorite park in Orlando for the rest of our session.  Here are some of my favorites from the day.  To see more pictures you can visit the gallery at Nathan’s Gallery. 

Nathan, I had a great time with you on Saturday.  Thanks for laughing at my corny jokes and for being so pleasant.  Have a great senior year!

Lauren is also from Ohio, and is a senior in High School.  She is also the first person to ever take me up on my suggestion that the light is beautiful at sunrise, and while on vacation, she and her entire family got up before the crack of dawn to meet me a half hour before sunrise.  Wow!  The sky was quite cooperative and there were very few people there at Jetty Park, Cocoa Beach, FL.  Amazing!

I really enjoyed getting to know Lauren.  She has a very gentle and kind spirit and loves to dance.  Though she isn’t positive about what she wants to do when she graduates, she is thinking about going into teaching.

Without any further ado, here are some favorite pictures from our day together.

This huge lifeguard chair was so much fun!  I think maybe they put it there just for us.  Thanks for being a good sport and climbing up on it, Lauren!

And for being a good sport to get into the water at such an early hour!

I think this is my favorite picture from the morning.  Isn’t she lovely?

Lauren with her sister, Kalie.  Kalie not only got up early for her sister’s photo shoot, but I didn’t hear a single complaint.  What a great sister!

What a fun way to spend a Saturday morning!  Lauren, I really enjoyed our time together.  I wish you the best senior year and hope to see you again.

One thing that made this especially fun to do Linnea’s pictures is the fact that her father’s name is Leif (pronounced “life”). So A Picture of Life got to take Picture’s of Leif’s Daughter. Okay, maybe it’s not that funny.

Linnea’s parents told me that Linnea means “full of life” and I must say that she was very aptly named.

We had the perfect weather at Cocoa Beach the day after Thanksgiving and spent most of our time at Jetty Park. The temperatures were ideal and there were very few people out.

You might be able to guess this from her photos, Linnea loves to act. We had a lot of fun, and she was a natural as a model. She is also quite a people person.

Here are a few highlights from our time at Jetty Park

This was my favorite from Jetty Park. While we were actually on the jetty, there were quite a few people around. One of the guys who was fishing there was teasing Linnea, but she was very good natured about it and didn’t get flustered at all.

After we left the park, we went over to Ron Jon’s Surf Shop. Linnea has actually spent quite a bit of time at the beach and she does surf. I was glad the employees let us take a few pictures there.

Linnea, you were so much fun to work with! Next time we should go to Hawaii for your photos!
