Sweet @ 16 – Dana’s Preview
When I was shooting Joyce & Vince’s Wedding (my previous post) with Scott Robert, I realized that I sort of knew Vince’s sister Vivian from way back. We always joke about some of the circumstances of our past interactions. Vivian’s daughter turned 16 this year…actually back in December of 2008…but Viv wanted to have some pictures taken of her, sort of like a Sweet Sixteen kind of thing. Well between their super crazy schedule, try having two kids that are competing at the highest levels of their sports, and my semi-busy schedule; we just never could hook up. Well finally we managed a little time the other day. Dana or DMAC as she is known to some is an awesome gymnast (she just came back from NIT where she won the floor and vault in her division), but she is also just a sweet, cute sixteen year old girl as well. I think we forget that sometimes when we see what these athletes can do. Well it was a lot of fun working with her and getting to know her a little better..
Here are a few shots from the day. I will get more up once I finish processing them.

Very nice Eric, great job! I’m sure Dana and her family love her images.
I love the one where she’s posing with her wall of celebrities. I think it brings out a lot of her character there. I remember when I used to plaster my wall with posters. My mom hated it. haha
@nnevva - Hey, thanks as always for your support and encouragement. How are things going for you? Looks like you have had some stuff to keep you busy.
@Agent_Spanky - Yeah, that one with her little montage came out pretty good. And I think you are right about it bringing out her character…especially since that picture is her profile picture on Facebook right now. =) Yes, I think doing this is a teenage girl norm, with parents rolling their eyes up in their heads. =)
