Particular gal... from a little further away than our core market... wanting something different.
Hard to blame a gal.
That being said... I've got a bone to pick.
Some of these types... including this one... try to keep me on the D.L.
The reasoning is... if no one else "finds" the same secret they have... they are guaranteed to have unique images, right?
I see ya workin' Miss Laven. ;)
So here we are... the day she's been waiting for... the payoff... the unique images that no one else at Bondurant-Farrar are gonna have.
That's the good news.
The bad news is... due to the popularity of our blog, and the prevalence of facebook in general. Your cover is now officially blown, young lady!
So for those of you back home that have asked Big Red, (when you're 6-foot-1 and red-headed... what else can they call ya?!?!) "where ya goin' for senior pictures?"... only to get some nondescript answer that she mumbled through... now you know.... Stewart Photography... Montour, Iowa... 50173. (although finding us on a map may not be that easy now either, is it?)
Luckily for Mariah, her mother, Jill, knew RIGHT where we were at. Mom, also known back in the day as Jill Hartwig, is of Green Mountain-Garwin descent... and I have no doubt that that played a role in us landing one of Bondurant-Farrar's finest.
One look at our website, and this four-sport standout for the Lady Jays knew she had found her photographer.
The session was booked... all the athletic uniforms and gear was gathered... the "regular" outfits were agreed upon (I use the phrase loosely, as I had to play referee a couple times on the mother/daughter disagreements on style choice) and just when everything was set for complete awesomeness... there was just one problem.
Rain.
Mariah's first session turned into a second session as a rainy morning kept us from getting all the outdoor done that we needed to on the first go-around.
So, a second trip to mom's old stomping grounds was in order... and all that allowed me to do was talk more volleyball with B-F's force in the middle... hoops with their power post... track with the girl with the insane stride... and softball with the RBI-machine first basemen. Not gonna lie... I'm doing some serious arm twisting here trying to get this gal to my alma mater next year at Central College in Pella! (note to Coach Clayberg... call again... and again... and again... if she goes to Simpson I hold you personally responsible) :)
Good luck to the Class 3A No. 8-ranked Lady Jays as they take their game to the court against No. 9 Union High of LaPorte City next Wednesday night. (incidently... B-F took 'em down already at the East Marshall Tourney this season... so it's time to do it again!) Three years of Regional Final disappointment is coming to an end... I can feel it! Time to take the next step, and get to Cedar Rapids!
I hope I made the two hour drives worth the effort... Late night volleyball games followed by 8 a.m. sessions with rain... followed by COLD couldn't have been ideal. I appreciate your efforts... and your business, Team Laven.
