At our school, we always have a huge Basketball Holiday Tournament. It usually starts a day or two after Christmas. This year they asked me if I would be interested in advertising in it, and I said sure! At first I thought I would just use some of the photos I have taken of seniors in the gym or who posed in their cheerleading outfits or with a basketball. But I just kept thinking how much I liked my ad I did for the football program, and I didn’t want to do something boring or lazy this time when I had such a cool ad last time! So I talked to Kendall to see if he would participate and he said sure, and he agreed to check with the girls for me. I had done senior pictures for both Emmalee and Michelle and really enjoyed the time I spent with them, so I thought they might be willing. They were, so we all met up at the gym and had a little photoshoot. I had Kendall to represent for the Varsity boys team, Emmalee for the girls Varsity, and Michelle who is a Varsity Cheerleader, so we were covering all the teams.
We had to use the giant ladders again (obviously) for these! We really wanted to put Michelle in the basket, but we weren’t sure how we would get her out again if we did!
And sorry Kendall, I had to add this one!
Thanks to my models! I really appreciate you all taking time out of your busy schedules to do this. Just let me know if you’d like copies of any of the pictures!
We went to the boys basketball game on Friday night and Ava wore her cheerleading outfit and cheered her heart out, just like Maddie Kate used to do at the games! Near the end of the second game, she got distracted by some kids sitting nearby who had a Nintendo DS, so she didn’t really pay attention to the end. Afterwards, Valerie (Kendall’s big sister) told her, “Ava, we won the game!” and she said “Who won?” and Val said, “WE won!” and Ava said, “WHO won?” Val said, “KENDALL WON!” and Ava said, “Yeah! Kendall won!” and started jumping around. So Kendall, you definitely have a fan in Ava!
CORRECTION: I was informed that it wasn’t Valerie who had this convo with Ava. It was Kendall’s other big sister, Jennifer! Sorry Jen!
