Rachael has been in front of my lens since 2009…
From the start she has always been a total natural.
I love photographing her- it makes me happy that she enjoys having her photo taken and looks forward to it every year just as much as I do…
This year Rachael’s Mom asked if I would take some photos of her practicing gymnastics as well.
Rachael takes lessons twice a week – she is constantly practicing at home – she is even a natural when it comes to tumbling…
All of the photos from this session were taken on September 20, 2014 at Robert Moses State Park – we were fortunate that the weather was quite balmy as the “cool” Summer of 2014 decided to hang on…
I am by no means a sports photographer – the photos below are just my humble attempt to photograph another side of Rachael – her fun side – her athletic side…. celebrating a special girl and her passion for gymnastics.
I can’t help but reminisce about when I was a little girl … how I loved watching gymnastics on television…and root for all the great Olympiams (and still do). =)
Rachael, I am so proud of you and I cannot wait to see where life takes you! x0
