Have you ever met a teenager whom is wise beyond their years, more mature than the average, and such a methodical thinker that you’re in amazement? Bethany is one of those girls! She is as intelligent as she is beautiful!  She was so natural in front of the camera and SUCH a pleasure to work with!

You will notice her sparkly green dress. As pretty as the dress may be, there is more behind it than just a fashion statement. You see, that dress is worn only by the girls that have the honor of being chosen to perform in Chorale, a special choir show group. For Bethany, wearing that dress meant that one of her high school dreams had been realized, and I could not have been more thrilled to help capture such a momentous accomplishment.

Bethany is headed to the Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. As amazing as that accomplishment is, I know it is merely the beginning of her incredible furture!

A little more about Bethany:

High school highlight:  …the rush of performing for the elementary school students our Chorale Holiday show. I’ve waited 10 years to do that, and it was a blend of excitement, panic, and euphoria. Also, becoming Editor-In-Chief of the Gahanna newspaper staff, and traveling to Washington DC on two consecutive Honor Flight Columbus trips.

My guilty pleasure is: One Direction, the Olympics  (Bethany, you surprised me with One Direction 🙂 )

One Day I will: …let travel experiences change my perspective on life.

In 5 years I see myself:  In 5 years, I see myself as a passionate journalist, roving the world for untold stories, promoting environmental sustainability, and honing my skills in writing, photography, and videography.

Who makes you laugh: My best friend, Sam

Do you have a hidden talent: Making canvas art

Greatest high school accomplishment:  Making the 2013-2014 Chorale show-choir

I loved working with Fran because:  …she is such a down-to-earth, kind-hearted person. She really has an eye for photography, and invests herself into your photo shoot. I love that she doesn’t just take all of her clients to the same locations – she selects out-of-the-way places for a reason. Soon, that spot becomes YOUR spot, where you had your senior pictures done. She’s incredible with her camera, and she made the process quite enjoyable – it was a dream-come-true experience. Thank you, Fran.      <—– Bethany, this gave me goosebumps!
