I first met Sydney on the day before she and my son Asher started second grade together. Over the years, the our families became friends and Syd (also lovingly known as “Squid” to me!) was one of my go-to kids for building my portfolio when I was starting my business. Last month Syd’s mom Nicole asked me to do some updated photos of her now teen-age daughter. She and I headed down to gritty Squalicum Harbor to have some fun amongst the pallets & box cars. She’d just received a beautiful new guitar as a special gift so I encouraged her to bring it along. I was wowed by her playing abilities… what a big girl she has become!
She’s telling me about her boyfriend in this shot…the faraway look is a telltale sign!
I had to get a little goofy to get Syd to loosen up and show me her genuine smile. Obviously it worked. This is the Sydney I know and love : )
She looks like such a capable girl in this shot… I just love it!
Sydney thought this message spray painted on a box car was rather hilarious : )
Yes, I bugged her relentlessly about that posture!
And finally… this post would not be complete without sharing some of those photos that helped me build my portfolio. These were taken in February of 006, some of the first I took with my brand new camera. Sydney was almost ten in these shots… what a cutie : )
