[Weddington Senior and Senior Elite] sheila mckay photography | charlotte nc senior photography
I have been so bad lately about posting as much as I would like. Since school is now back in full swing I am hoping to make a better presence and show you many more photographs – no only from recent sessions, but probably even more personal photographs!
Meet S, a senior at Weddington High School. She cheers for Cheer Extreme All Stars in Kernersville, NC, at http://www.cheerextreme.com, with her team called Senior Elite. Senior Elite competed in the 2010 Cheer and Dance World Championships at the Milkhouse at Disney’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando, FL, in April and won the 2010 Large Senior All Girl Division! Check it out !http://www.youtube.com/v/cLywEkle984?fs=1&hl=en_US
This is an event you only get to compete in if you win a bid at a National competition during the competition season. They were able to make the Wide World of Sports after winning The All Star Challenge Nationals held in Atlanta in December, 2009. She was a dream to photograph because posing was just natural for her. And we photographers love that! It sure makes my job easier. I had such a great time photographing her that I lost track of time and we shot over 2 hours – we ran out of sunlight.
I am still weeding through the 200 images I shot and the editing and retouching has begun. Only problem is – there are so many great shots I can’t decide which ones to keep!
[Summertime and back to school] sheila mckay photography | charlotte nc kid and family photographer
I cannot believe the summer has passed and we are already into a new school year. It honestly seems as though we were just having our last day of celebrations at school. We were in full force with summer vacation the day after school was out and we have been on the go ever since.
I made it a point to do all kinds of things with the kids this summer and somehow we managed to squeeze in lots of fun trips. As our usual summer annuals trips – we visited Myrtle Beach SC and the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia SC. Savannah, GA was a great trip but just didn’t get to visit long enough because baseball tournaments were our main items on the agenda. We enjoyed some time visiting friends in Richmond VA and then headed up north to Washington DC and Georgetown to sightsee a bit. It was such a great family trip!
Although we love vacations in other places, some of the best times we had were at home just hanging out with each other. It was so wonderful to hear the laughter of my children as they played with each other.
Now that it is “back to school” it is also “back to business”. I have had time to unwind and relax and now I feel rejuventated and organized and ready to get back to work!
It is now that time to start thinking of fall and holiday portraits! Whether it be a family portrait that has been far too long ago, a senior portrait, or even those holiday cards – If you are interested in a FALL MINI SESSION click here for information. I will be available for full sessions as well and check back often, because I have another event planned! Stay tuned for details. You don’t want to miss it.
Now – I will leave you with some of my favorite moments from this summer. Just bare with me because I have way too many to post!
