Pusch Ridge Christian Academy’s Senior Portrait Ambassadors for “Travis Williams Photography” were unveiled TODAY (4/15/10) as part of the 1st Annual “T-Dub” awards luncheon. I am lucky enough to be working with these three 2011 Seniors for the next 12 months and I couldn’t be happier with them all. We had an awesome promo shoot together in downtown a bit back and held the results back for today’s official introduction. I think you’ll agree they are going to be great ! Individual sessions for each to come this summer 2010 !

Standing way larger in life than his 5 foot 3 inch frame suggests – Mitch Woody leaves his mark on the world each day & we all are just paying rent. Mitch’s Senior Portraits are likely to be the most anticipated shoot I have had all year. He’s been planning this all year and all his friends, classmates and teammates have been awaiting these. Mitch did not dissapoint – he brought his A game. Having had his braces removed less than 96 hours before we shot together his updated smile was fresh and a welcome change for him. Mitch has been described by his peers as Quirky, Fast and fun-loving… he exudes that with every breath. Mitch is a soccer stud and plans to take his services up I-17 next year as he attends Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff to play soccer as a Lumberjack ! Mitch plans to study communcations and maybe get involved in media as a career. Mitch – had a blast with you buddy, it was everything I hoped it’d be. thanks for joining the TWP family ! Special thanks to JD Fitzgerald for his professional assistance on this shoot, the results are better for it !

Erin Bleyl is a talented individual… she played softball for her freshman & sophomore years just so she could play a sport with older sister Shawn [PRCA '08]. She choose to focus entirely on her first love of Swimming since then. Swimming all 4 years of highschool for PRCA and for various club teams nearly all year round it’s no wonder she’s got the neck, shoulders and unmistakable swimwear tan lines burned nearly permanent by the southern arizona year round sun. Determined, disciplined & dedicated Erin is no doubt going to be a great fit for the United States Air Force Academy next year where she’s already received a nomination from Senator McCain and will also continue to swim competitvely. She’s already made her Swim Coach proud – who also happens to be her Mom. Thanks Momma Bleyl for helping out on photography assistance, hair, makeup and wardrobe for our shoot together. Best of Luck to you Erin in all that you do… keep up the great work.

Kelsey & Erica are indeed twins… not identical either by birth or in personality. They are as individual as they are twinsey! Kelsey is girlie and loves skirts, highheels and jewelry. Erica is a tad tom-boyish and she digs her jeans and capri’s, preferring not to wear high heels she’s got a killer assortment of “flats”. While individual make no mistake Kelsey & Erica are sisters… and they are close. Best of friends it’s clear there is a connection that goes deeper than just being sibligs. This is for sure … they both have smiles that are contagious. We all had a ton of fun and a special thanks goes out to Karen (Momma Andres) for helping out on hair, makeup, wardrobe and photography assistant. Thanks girls for sharing your connection with me for the afternoon.
