Amanda is a senior in high school in Seattle.  She's tasked with that dreaded chore of getting her senior pictures done.  Then, she had a brilliant idea to take the photos at a place she loves.  The California Beach.  So, on her trip to SLO this week, she and I hooked up and did some proper beach shots!  She truly is a California girl...swimmer, lifeguard, diver, surfer...so I think this was the perfect choice for her.

This sure makes me jealous of my crappy senior photos.  We all had to go to the same studio.  The girls had to take off their tops and wear an off-the-shoulder drape *HIDEOUS*.  The guys had a fake tuxedo that they wore like a straight jacket, there was no back to it!  Oh, the horror.  I personally think that the photo would derail any political aspirations for me.  Some snoopy reporter would dig up my senior photo and I'd be publically humiliated...never to win an election with a velvet off-the-shoulder drape and huge tan lines.  LOL!

and one special photo that I'm sure Amanda's parents will appreciate
