A SNAPSHOT FROM ALEX’S HEART

“A cause that I believe in is VH1′s “Save the Music Foundation” .     It works towards keeping music education in schools

around the world.   Music is my passion and it has influenced my life in such a positive way that it breaks my heart to know that students  are being deprived of  receiving the joy that I have received through music.  All proceeds go to buy instruments and pay for classes so that schools are financially able to continue music education and better improve the futures of our  generation and generations to come.   My senior year means a lot to me. It means being a good role model for the underclassmen.  It means living life to the fullest, and spending time with the friends who I soon will  never see. It means having fun and working hard to accomplish my goals.   Senior year is a big year, and I believe that it has so much potential. We have one more year with these people we call our classmates.    One more year with these people who we call friends.

Most importantly, we have one more year to spread the love and compassion of God through the halls of our high school.  

I cannot wait to see what this year brings, and I don’t plan to miss a minute of it!”

A SNAPSHOT FROM MARCELLA’S HEART

“Being a senior means that you are looked up to by so many others.  It is your responsibility to set a good example for younger classmen and

to give them encouragement. It also represents the beginning of the end of your childhood life and brings you into your young adult life.

Which is why, especially in your senior year, you have to keep your bright future in mind when making decisions.   My dreams for the future,

besides graduating from college and having a family of my own, are to simply bring positivity into other people’s lives and to experience everything that I can.   I want to continue traveling the world and learn and grow in every aspect of my life.”

- Marcella

When Tori called me to take her photographs, I had no idea that she was a dancer but when she showed up to the session with her ballet shoes,

my heart was beating with joy!   Photographing a dancer is such fun and Tori’s freedom in the dance and all of her movements filled every frame with beauty.    These pictures are really special to me because I know that creative and artistic people inspire other artists in their work and without a doubt, she definitely inspired me that day!   It was an unforgettable session and I especially loved Tori’s words:   Make Art, Not War.

“To me, being a Senior means that this is OUR year. Not our year to be mean to all the grades below us, not our year to control the school.  But OUR year to spread the Love of Christ more than ever before.   This is OUR year to show all the grades below us that you don’t have to be a Senior or older to spread Christianity.  To me, being a senior means this is our last year to have this mission field of our high school,  and because of that, we must be as bold and humble and spread His word more than we ever have before.  This is the class of 2011′s year to show everyone the Love of Jesus Christ, Our Saviour.   I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up, so as far as dreams for my career I don’t know yet.  But the biggest dream I have is to see someone’s life changed by me in a good way.  I want people to feel the love of Christ from me, and although I tend to fail in that, if just one person is changed by the love God puts in me, then my dreams will come true.  And I know they can come true.”

Rylan has a smile that could light up a room and it didn’t take long for him to warm up to the camera.

I love his big round eyes that are full of expression and how he looks at you so intensely.  

Everything is such a wonder at this age and I could tell Rylan was ready to explore it all.

There is just something so precious about baby teeth and cute little toes!

“I desire to major in early childhood education and touch the lives of the children of our future.

I want to leave a lasting impression on the hearts of the children I teach! 

I want to open their minds to the opportunities in the world and open their heart to hope!”

A SNAPSHOT FROM JENNA’S HEART

“What makes me happy is seeing everyone smiling, being who they truly are and loving each other.  

I love hearing great stories of adventures they have had in the past. 

My dreams for the future are to follow the plan God is leading me to for my life,

be a teacher for little children, and taking pictures of what God has created.”

- Jenna

It was an honor to do some commercial photography work for Vance Dover of Georgia Classic Pool.   After spending the day photographing several pools built by his company, I was highly impressed with the quality and design of each and every pool and outdoor living space.    

I was especially impressed with the fact that this company handles every aspect of the job from start to finish.  Not one detail seemed to go unnoticed and it showed in every pool setting we went to.  A highlight for Georgia Classic Pool was being chosen this summer to build and design

 a pool for the HGTV Program “Bang For Your Buck”.   Here are just a few of the over one thousand pictures that were taken and I am complimented that my work will be featured on their website.  Be sure to visit their website for details and a list of all the many features that Georgia Classic Pool provides.   Thank you, Vance, for showing me something new to put on my wish list!

  A SNAPSHOT FROM JULIA’S HEART

“My dreams for the future are to grow up and not have to work in an office.  

I want to explore every opportunity God had laid out for me, leaving none behind. 

I want to give all I can to those who live without the proper shelter or food in this world

and bring happiness and faith to other’s hearts. 

What makes me happy is to see my friends, family, and all those around me happy. 

Also to have healthy relationships with the people in my life.

Living life not only for myself but for others too is what makes me happiest.”
