**look for the winner of the contest tomorrow morning! I have the list made out and have just let "random.org" pick the winner, but I still need to write the post! **

*

Another senior--- this one is a former student of mine, and a smarter, sweeter girl you will never meet. Jessica is spunky and proud to be completely herself. And she's beautiful, to boot!

{Don't you just love her laughing face? I do!!}


A book fan.... That's my girl!


{one-oh!}


{this girl LOVES her some chemistry. Don't even ask me about this stuff- I dodged the chemistry bullet in high school AND college. But this lady plans to be a pharmacist, so she has gotta know this stuff inside and out!}




{the skirt? The zebra stripe belt? LOVE this girl!}






Thank you Jessica-- for being such a great kid in my class two years ago, and for becoming such a lovely, poised, marvelous senior girl. All the luck to you!!!

Tamara, Class of '10 {St. Louis Senior Photographer}

I love senior season-- LOVE the variety of personalities I get to meet and play with... Love thinking up new spots to go shoot... Love seeing the true self emerge from these girls as they get more comfortable with me and with the process of being in front of the camera.

And I pretty much love the end results of our time together. Take a look at Tamara, a sweet friend of my kid sister Kirsti. She is GORGEOUS, with her eyes and those lips and her sweet, pure energy--

...and she's an incredible violinist. Did I mention that?

And a guitarist---

And it was the cutest coincidence that right as she was playing the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun", we got a GORGEOUS sun setting behind her.

Thanks,Tamara, for a fun, melodic session!
