So, this is Ali.  Ali is kind of like my little sister.  I got to know her when she was in the 5th grade when I coached her in volleyball.  She and I have stayed close ever since.  How do I describe Ali?  Well, first of all – she is absolutely stunning and beautiful!  Ali is full of life and laughter.  She loves volleyball and the number 22 (my old volleyball number)!  She loves singing and music and loves one of my favorite groups, the Beastie Boys (thank you to her parents for introducing her to good music when she was young.)  Ali has an infectious laugh and smile.  Her goofiness and outgoing personality make life a party wherever she goes.  And I have loved watching her grow in her faith and in her love for the Lord.  I have seen her lean on Him when things got tough and I know she will continue to seek Him in her future.  I’m so thankful to have her in my life.  She is heading off to IU next year.  Thank goodness Bloomington isn’t too far away.  Love you,  Ali!

We actually shot her senior photos over a period of a few days due to her busy choir schedule at Center Grove.  The first night we started in Broad Ripple.  And, why yes, we did in fact get this first photo on our first try.  1, 2, 3, jump!  Can’t believe it worked.  Ali has always been obsessed with Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, so we incorporated that into part of our photo shoot.  Loved her glitter converse.
