Meet Alicia! My senior rep for Columbus East. I can’t even begin to tell you what an amazing girl she is, one of the sweetest people ever. In a weird way I feel like I’ve watched her grow up. She plays basketball at East where my Dad is the head coach (GO LADY O’S!) and I’ve had the pleasure of watching her dominate the court over the last few years…. let’s hope this season will be no exception! 

I met Alicia (aka Hoppy as I know her from Dad calling her that in b-ball ) and her mom at the gym for some pics in her jersey. No joke – the gym was hotter than the 90 degree weather outside! Then we headed out to Mill Race (half of which was under water at the time….). We managed to get some great shots in before one of many giant thunderstorms we’ve had lately rolled in. I have no idea how the timing worked, but I managed to get home and get my gear in about 30 seconds before the downpour began … thank u mother nature…

Thanks again to Alicia and her mom for being troopers in the hot hot weather. Love you guys! Can’t wait for season! 

Here are some of my favorites from the day!

Of course I had to do little tribute to East Basketball….. this one’s for Dad 🙂

And some shot in her AAU jersey 

Then it was off to Mill Race

Alicia – You’re gorgeous! These are two of my favorites!

The storm is coming… check out these clouds….

Love this one on the left. I said “okay last shot and we’re done, let’s do something fun” …. this is what I got…. classic 🙂
