When TerraGabriella asked me to photograph her high school senior portraits a few years ago, of course I said yes and was thrilled she wanted me to do them. But this was a few years ago when my daughter was just about a year into her acrobatic gymnastics program at West Coast Training Center in Livermore where we met TG (as her coach, my husband, calls her). Now looking back it seems like it was just yesterday she asked me and yet here we are, 3 years later! Time goes by way too fast!

TG is from Alamo but since I didn’t know the area very well she came to me in Livermore so we could shoot at one of my favorite little spots. We showed up and there was a little stream flowing through the river bed which since we’ve been in a drought is normally dry. With all this California rain we’ve had we finally have streams again! It created such a beautiful backdrop along with the gorgeous California light we all love. Photographing her was SO much fun and that smile of hers…SO Beautiful!! TG, thank you for having me document this important time in your life. You are such an amazing person and a great role model to the little kids at the gym who look up to you. So glad our lives crossed some years ago. I have no doubt you are on the path to great things!!

Of course I have to show off TG’s amazing talent, click HERE to see her in action at one of her acro meets.
