This week is a celebration of seniors from Pekin Community High School!  I may not know how to get around in Pekin, but I certainly love the kids here; bottom line – They are awesome!  And beautiful!  So kind and genuine!!  It’s the truth, every year… I look forward to photographing their seniors. I am incredibly proud to have them represent my photography studio!

Blair happens to be one of those #shelbyseniors too and my camera absolutely loooooves her.  She totally rocked her senior sesh with style and can we talk about her crazy, amazing eyes! Geeeeeez!

After graduation, Blair plans on attending ICC initially and wants to major in Business.  Her favorite class is Biology and Mr. Miller is a great teacher because “he like to joke around and we have fun in his class!”  Football games are her favorite events because “I can be social and they are fun and I have the best memories from the games.”  She is a busy girl and participates in Cheer, Soccer, and Tumbling. Besides sports, she loves to go shopping and workout!  She has great advice for incoming freshman: “Try your hardest and go to EVERYTHING. You don’t want to miss out because one day you’ll look back and regret it.”

Blair would describe her “perfect day” like this: “My perfect day would be at the beach. To wake up and head to the beach, pack sandwiches and fruit, go home and shower, go shopping and go out to eat and finish the day with a bike ride by the beach.”

Three things on her bucket list include: 1. Live on the beach 2. Go to Bali 3. Snorkel
