Michael and Yvette Bluebonnets

I used Michael and Yvette in a previous shoot with a whole bunch of friends. In that post, I mentioned how I met them. I first met Yvette at this weeklong leadership camp called LeaderShape. We were in the same small group. It was during the last week of winter break before spring semester started.

When classes started up again, I started my new position as Student Government's Communication Director. I was trying to figure out who everyone was in the association when I met Michael. He was a senator at the time (he will be the new Vice President in the fall). After meeting Michael it took a few weeks to realize he is Yvette's boyfriend. Since then, I became friends with both of them.

Yvette loves bluebonnets and always wanted bluebonnet pictures. This year she got her pictures. They asked me to take the pictures, and I jumped at the chance to do it. They chose to do a mini session, which was perfect timing because we finished just before it started raining. It was a great start to the Easter weekend. St. Edward's give its students a long 5 day weekend (Thursday, Friday, and Monday off). I was able to do the shoot Thursday before I left for Easter in Dallas with the family. St. Edward's also is gifted with the hills on the school filling up with bluebonnets, so we were able to have the shoot on campus!

Those kind of friends

I recently did a shoot with some amazing friends that I've met here at St. Edward's in Austin. I met most of these people through LeaderShape. LeaderShape is a national organization that has offices at different universities. These offices work with LeaderShape at the national level to create "camps" for university students to attend. The camps allow students to meet new people and to help build leadership skills.

This experience was extremely important for me cause I got to make so many new friends. Being a new student and especially a transfer student, it was hard finding me niche at first. I finally found it with meeting these people through LeaderShape, and joining Student Government Association, and being Vice President for Transfer Student Association.

Michael, Yvette, Anna, Ryan, and Fox looking adorable! I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. So if I were to lable each of my friends based on which HP characted he/she would be this is what it would be:

Michael would be Ron Weasley

Yvette would be Fleur Delacour

 Anna would be Cho Chang

Ryan would be Neville Longbottom

Fox would be George Weasley

 

I would like to note though that Michael and Fox are not related in any way.

 

Can you guess where this is originally from? It was just by coincidence that there were three guys and two girls. It kinda just hit me to do the Breakfast Club pose. I never actually saw the Breakfast Club (it's on my list of things to do) but I saw Pitch Perfect so I feel like I know enough to make the reference and take the picture.

 

Aren't these two just adorable? Yvette and Michael have been together for almost 3 years now. I first met Yvette at LeaderShape. We were in the same small group. I met Michael when the semester started during a Student Government meeting. I had only officially been in the association for a few weeks and I was still trying to get figure out all the senators and members. It took me a little bit to make the connection between the two.

The guys were talking and laughing while still on pose. These guys are so funny. I can't even remember exactly what they were laughing about because the whole evening we were laughing about tons of stuff.

 

This is a concept piece about how your friends are always there to keep you from walking into deep waters. I asked everyone who would like toe take off their shoes and Yvette was the first one to say anything. She even started taking off her shoes when I said it. Anna wanted to be at the very end, it's funny that the smallest and the girl is pulling back all the guys.
