Lexie - Sheridan High School Senior

As I type this, it is 18°F and snowing outside. Tomorrow the high isn't supposed to go above 0°F. It's hard to believe that only a few days ago the highs were near 60°F during Lexie's senior portrait session!

Somehow everything worked out for her photo shoot. We tried, on multiple occasions, to set up a session last summer, but it never quite worked. Imagine my surprise when I got a phone call in mid-January to finish what we started! It turns out Lexie's school doesn't require senior photos to be submitted until February! So, we picked a date and hoped for good weather.

In Denver, good weather in January can usually mean sunny and mid-40s. That's not a bad day for a photo shoot. We got really lucky with the weather. Sunny, no wind and 60°F? Hello Spring! People were wearing shorts. Lexie could wear a short-sleeved shirt with no jacket. We didn't have to find buildings to warm up in. The weather made it a near-perfect day.

What made it a perfect day was Lexie. She wants to go into the performing arts and I really think she can do it. Many people are shy if anyone else is around while they're getting their picture taken. Not Lexie! Three people on a smoke break just 10 feet away? No problem. Standing in an intersection with cars driving by? Didn't even phase her. She can perform in front of people while under pressure, which is pretty important if you want to be a performing artist.

Not only can she perform under pressure, but she's got looks and personality as well! She was perfectly comfortable chatting and making small talk, not to mention getting photographed. In fact, I really enjoyed talking with her because she could carry on a real conversation for more than a few sentences. And then there's her looks. I'll sign off now and just let her photos speak for themselves...
