marissa • lubbock high school senior

Marissa is a senior at Lubbock High School and I was honored to shoot her senior portraits on one very windy West Texas day. Thankfully, we were able to really embrace the wind- and got some great images doing so.

It's a life-lesson I've been learning- embracing the wind…the wind will always be there (literally and figuratively)…you can either embrace it and let it take you where it will, or try to hold your ground and remain where you always have been.

Marissa, keep embracing the wind! You've got so many wonderful places to go!

Hillary is about to graduate from Texas Tech University with a degree in petroleum engineering. Of course, being in West Texas, that means she is on the forefront of the oil and gas boom- an industry which largely effects the local economies of our region. In talking with Hillary, I realized what a brave explorer she is! I love that she seeks out new experiences and chooses adventure. I had a great time shooting with her- and can't wait to see where she goes next!
