strnad-20 Trying to schedule Samantha's senior session was a little difficult, with her schedule, my schedule, and the weather we ended up having to reschedule more than once.  Life sometimes has a tendency to get in the way like that.  When we were finally able to schedule the date, the lighting was beautiful!!  But it was COLD!! strnad-10

Samantha decided to do her session down at Edgewater Park, with the beach and lake, and the city as her back drops.  As I pulled in to wait for her, I noticed several other cars pulling in and people getting out to put on their WETSUITS!!  Now, as I said, the air temperature was a little more than chilly so I can not even begin to imagine how cold that water was.  But there they were several people out there, in the freezing lake, kite boarding, and surfing.  Now that's crazy.strnad-30

Fortunately the lighting was pretty amazing and Samantha was beautiful!!  From her amazing big brown eyes, to her naturally curly hair that fell just perfectly, down to the outfits she brought with her, we had a great time!strnad-67

We also decided that this would also be a perfect opportunity to get a family portrait, so the entire family came along for the day, and made pretty good assistants I must say!! strnad-45

Samantha, thank you again for the privilege of documenting your senior year, and I wish you nothing but success and happiness in everything you do in the future!!
