Senior Spotlight: Emily Combs

Style Session~ Philbrook, Studio

My name is: Emily Combs

I go to school at: Broken Arrow High School

My favorite websites are: Facebook, Myspace, and Photobucket

The magazines I always have to stop and look at in the grocery store are: Teen Vogue, and the cooking ones.

My first crush was: Tanner in the 3rd grade.

My current favorite song: Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls or T-Shirt by Shontelle and bands: Casting Crowns, Goo Goo Dolls, and Secondhand Serenade

The last meal I made was: Burritos.

My biggest accomplishment in high school so far: Is getting into DECA. I love that class.

My dream job: A Kindergarten teacher.

One unusual talent I have is: I can tell when people are sad, even if they are trying to hide it. I see it in their eyes.

I couldn't speak when I met: Danny. I literally didn’t have a voice.

My favorite things in my closet are: my American Eagle jeans. My cousins Ron Jon hoodie. And My Vans.

2 most important things to have a great friendship are: Trust and Love

In 10 years I see myself: Enjoying life as a Wife, Mother, and Kindergarten Teacher!

I love Lisa’s Portaits because (shameless plug!!): She is so great. I am usually uncomfortable when I’m getting my pictures taken, but she was just so relaxed and loved what she was doing, that I was just myself. And the pictures turned out amazing.

For senior year, I was most nervous about: Graduation. It’s just a scary thought that this year after graduation I’m done with high school. I’ve spent all my life in a school. And it’s just scary to think that some of my friends and I won’t see each other again.

My top 5 senior events are: Broken Arrow beating Union for our first football game of the season, Prom, Getting my senior pictures taken, Graduation, and Spring Break.

My most embarrassing moment is: falling up the stairs on the way to class one day.

My number one lesson from high school I will take to college is: Managing time. I’m not the most school oriented person. But high school has taught me that I have to manage my time between homework and hanging out with my friends.

Senior year is such a big deal because: It is the last year that I will be in school. Of course I’m going to college but it’s different. My parents won’t be there to watch my every move. It’s all up to me. I have to be the one to remember. It’s a bittersweet ending though. My friends and I will be going our separate ways. I will be leaving so much behind, but I know it will all be worth it in the end.

Myth Busters

Don't you look at all the sweet sweet baby images photographers have on their websites and say to yourself (and your photographer) I want that image of MY sweet sweet baby! Well, they don't come that naturally. I wonder what ever made us think baby would willingly accept the fact that we wanted to dangle him 4 feet in the air naked on daddy's forearm. But it sure makes a precious image!

Not having any part of it..........
holding on for dear life.......................... Losing the battle....... Sweet daddy lovin'

Welcome Grayson Blake Kelley of Oologah! Jessie and Blake are kind of special to me. I love being a young photographer, keeping up on the latest trends in the world and in photography but it also means that I haven't been in business 20+ years and built those lifetime bonds with clients but I'm getting there and this couple is a great example. I photographed Blakes senior portraits. Then I had the pleasure of photographing their fabulous wedding and now here they are with their beautiful little boy! I'd say I'm getting old but I never feel old! I love this job! till next time!

An apology to my blog

So it has been brought to my attention that I have been neglecting my blog. I tried to be a good blogger but alas I have failed.

Dear blog, I'm sorry. I know you must be wondering where I've been and why I've neglected you. Please know that I've missed you, though. I never intended to make you feel hurt and abandoned, and I promise you I'm not spending time with another blog. It's just that I've been so busy. I miss you, and I want to spend more time with you, and I promise we will soon. Please give me another chance.

Yours always, Lisa
