Portraits: Amber Van Parys

It was a fabulous day this past Saturday March 20th (the first official day of Spring, I might add) and I spent the afternoon with Amber and her mom (my good friend and fellow photographer), Sandy Rochelle. Amber is a high school senior in Nashville, TN and is a talented vocalist. In fact, Amber has a couple colleges offering competing scholarship opportunities for her to attend their musical theatre programs.

Amber is a beautiful young lady (of course, you can see that for yourself) and a lot of fun to be around! I had so much fun with her hanging out in downtown Asheville and taking photos! Here are some highlights from Saturday's shoot below:

I love all the graffiti in downtown Asheville!

For the photo below, this nice passerby offered up his perfectly-colored green sunglasses (who we found out originally belonged to his musician grandfather) for a few shots! I love it when things like this happen!

We then headed over to the train tracks for some more photos. A train came by while we were taking photos (above) which I thought was pretty cool!

Amber shows us her true personality (above) !!

We ended the day with a few headshot photos for this budding artist (below).

Thanks so much for being such a good model, Amber and thanks to Sandy for coming all the way from Nashville, TN to take some photos and visit with me!
