I remember this little lady when I moved to Norman 7 1/2 years ago. She was an awesome mother’s helper with her 2 younger brothers. I immediately hit it off with her incredible parents. Her mom is a talented musician and so gorgeous as well as kind and thoughtful. Her dad is a suuuuper smart developer, and always willing to answer my silly techie questions. He is good at anything he touches, including dabbling in photography and taking some photography classes from us.

Fast forward to today, Sade is still her mother’s amazing daughter, now with 3 younger brothers. She’s busy in her senior year at Norman North High School, in the last month alone she had weeks of rehearsals/performances playing violin in the pit orchestra for Norman North high school’s production of Pippin, music recital, helping with her siblings  and trying to keep up with all the schoolwork senior classes demand. She is a breath of fresh air, and I love seeing her growing into a beautiful woman.

On the fun side, in our session we caught rainbows, blew kisses, saw a lizard (and then eaten by a bird!), silly sounds, and me saying over and over again, “Don’t move!” because she was continually posing herself so perfectly. And I’m so happy we still had some lovely fall colors after our ice storm.

Hair and makeup by the lovely Drea. She’s pretty much magic.

Without further ado, here is Sade: Class of 2016.
