On Sunday I had the fortune to photograph one of my favorite students. She is also one of my favorite people, but I think in this context I should tell you she is also one of my students. Sadly, she won't be around after this year because she is going to graduate in May. I am so proud of her, and so thankful for all she does for me (she is constantly dog-sitting and house-sitting for me when I leave town).
We met up and headed to her horse stable, which is conveniently located on the Jacksonville Air Force Base. So we spent a misty morning taking some amazing photos for Micah and her horse, Dasher. The property was beautiful and I think it couldn't have turned out better... even if the sun had been out and the fog wasn't rolling in. We took some pictures with her cousins (although I didn't include them here) and generally had a lovely time. It was a lot of fun, and I didn't get trampled by a horse. So, that's aways a win in my book.
I could go on and on about what a great kid Micah is. I really could. She is a good person. She is kind, thoughtful, responsible. Dependable. You can always count on her, and I love that about her. But I guess the thing I like best about her is that she is the kind of high school kid that gives me hope in people her age. It isn't all Gossip Girl and Jersey Shore young people out there. Micah is proof that there are some teenagers out there that are going to make amazing adults. And that is a great thing. Like I said... I adore her.
So... Congratulations Micah, on all you have accomplished!
