Anyway – now on to the first of many grads.

Josh Guenther came in on May 14 for his session.

I found Josh had his own style and I loved the suit he wore.  I had just received some beautiful fresh tulips from a friend’s garden and I asked if he would hold them … I think it completed his unique look!  :-)

He had the most interesting sneakers and I made a point of photographing them.

Josh is also into sports and I did some shots of one of his favorite pasttimes…

He changed into his casual clothes and we did a few more shots.

Josh told me that he had just taken up running recently and that he was going to be competing in the Manitoba Marathon – which happened today – June 21st!  I just checked the results and he completed the Full Marathon in 4:31:09 – which is amazing in the 30+ temperatures we had today!   His Overall Position was 373/691.  Position Amongst Gender:  290/487 and Position in Age Group was 6/9.  Congratulations Josh!!!!

Two years ago I had the privilege of photographing Josh’s sister Ashlee.  Since I didn’t have a Blog at that time, I’ll post a few of her images!   Ashlee reminded me of a young Audrey Hepburn.
