Athletes - An Elegant and Whimsical Beauty

MiKayla is a collegiate volleyball player. When I learned of her I thought, “wow, this girl is a beast on the court”. Then I met her and I thought, “this girl is an elegant beauty”. Her soft voice and laid back personality makes her easy to like. She’s finishing up her last semester of school, as she aspires to become a doctor, so she’ll have plenty of schooling to go. The thing I like best about her is the way she carries herself. Humble and whimsical, some times quirky, but intelligent. When she’s on the court, you’d probably think, she’s just another tall, intense volleyball player, but when she’s made up, she’s as pretty as they come. The reason I wanted to photograph her was because I wanted to capture her dual roles in college: Beauty and the Beast. She was extremely easy to photograph, but even more so, fun to be around. Here are a few images from the session.
