picture this.

a future physician/bio medical engineer (yes, she is that smart!!), michaela has a sunny disposition that brightens even the greyest of days.  with hair the color of the sun, she just radiates happiness!!  and don’t even get me started on those amber eyes!!  i seriously have never seen eyes this color before!!  A-mazing!!  but don’t just take my word for it, take a peek…

because i am an idiot, i forgot to take a snap of the ever-magnificent make-up artist, jen, working her magical power upon michaela.  but i think in one little look you won’t be able to deny that michaela looked STUNNING!!!  good grief, girl.  you sleighed it…

see what i mean about that sunshine-iness of her smile??  (yeah, i know sunshine-iness isn’t a word, but it’s my blog, and i can make up words if i want!!)  and THOSE EYES!!!

she get an A++++ is posing, too!

as much as i adore that first shot, there is just something about this that knocks me flat.  so candid.  so “60s-love-story-ish”. so FFFAAVVV!!!

i thank you for such a fun session, micheala .  thanks for braving the chilly temps and the excessive stares from the man on the bicycle.  it was soo00 worth it;))))

peace – jodi.

my last senior guy for the class of 2013!!  *sob*  i seriously cannot think of a sweeter way to go out than with rob.  a scholar and an athlete, rob is definitely a reserved soul.  however, when you get a little glimpse inside, you are rewarded with kindness and a deft sense of humor.  and he gets even more brownie points by immediately identifying my “milk was a bad choice!” reference.  a guy who can quote anchorman as easily as i can is A-OK in my book!!  and speaking of A-OK, let’s let’s take a look at some of his shots…

FFFFAAAVVV!!!  that grin just slays me!!  fabulous, rob!!

so dapper…

a little scarlet and gray for this future buckeye…

coolness.  with a capital K…

rob, thank you so much for winding out the seniors guys in such a great fashion.  i hope that you have fully recovered from the experience;))

peace – jodi.

holy smokes!  dylan is one of my last remaining class of 2013 seniors!  but what a way to start wrapping things up.  with his great sense of style, smoky eyes and impish smile, dylan was guaranteed to bring it!!  and boy did he!!  see for yourself…

there is just something magical about autumn light.  i would say dylan fits into the magical category as well!!  i LOVE this!!  total fav. or. ite!!!

see what i mean about sense of style?  his outfits were killer…

dylan, gq is calling…

one word:  SMOKIN’!!!!!

thank you dylan for such a fun session.  i hope the rest of your senior year rocks!!

peace – jodi.

jordan is a man of few words.  however, his winning smile and killer baby blues make up for any lack in verbiage.  and those of you who know me know that i can yak enough for two people, so jordan and i were totally in simpatico!!  besides, any traces of shyness completely disappeared once the shutter started to fall.  just take a look…

bring on the FAAAAVVV!  this expression is just too perfect for words…

hello, handsome!!  i cannot even tell you how much i adore the shot on the right.  jordan, you nailed it!!

like his brother, jordan is also a wrestler.  isn’t he too sweet to be a wrestler?

and i LOVE freckles in black and white!!

jordan, thank you for being so much fun during your session.  i hope your senior year is a blast!!

peace – jodi.

he’s just too good to be true!!  kind, polite, smart and athletically gifted, harrison is the kind of young man movies are made of.  and considering how incredibly over-the-top cute he is, he could star in his own movie.  sheesh!  i had the immense privilege of photographing harrison this past weekend, and to say that i had a blast would be a huge understatement!!  i kinda think he had some fun too, but let’s take a look and make certain…

hello, hollywood??!!  that smile!  those eyes!  i . am. undone.  get this kid an agent!!!

serious or smiling, you are a rock star, harrison!

i have so far failed to mention that in addition to being an all-around great guy, harrison is also a basketball demon.  a heavily scouted small forward (isn’t that an oxymoron??), he plans to continue his basketball dominance into college.  or become a nike model…

speaking of modeling…  WOOOOOOW!!!  why does the phrase “Is it in you?” come rushing into my head when i look at this?  harrison,  you are INCREDIBLE!!!!

thank you for being such a joy to be around, harrison!  please remember me when gatorade comes calling…

peace – jodi.
