“We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free.” —Kavita Ramdas
Tara is this kind of young woman. She is strong, humble, and fierce… and her many passions will take her far in life. Meeting her as a junior (she was part of my spokesmodel team) was a ton of fun, and I always left feeling inspired after our days together; this girl just doesn’t quit. She is like a little Energizer bunny! She will be graduating and saying goodbye to Lake Mary High School in the summer, and she has left her mark on the school with her many pursuits (including the National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society). She has found great fulfillment in working as a teacher’s aid to students with disabilities, and is in the midst of her second year doing so. Government is something she’s also very interested in, and she adds that it is also her favorite class in school. When she isn’t studying or working, you can find her close to her very favorite spot: the beach! Other hobbies include going shopping, and spending lots of quality time with friends and family.
Besides Tara being one of my awesome spokesmodels, I also got to know their family when I did her sister’s senior portraits. Whenever families come to me for sibling senior photos, I am so grateful they have invited me to be part of their lives in this way. Tara looks up to her sister in many ways (not just her senior photos :), and shared, “I look up to my older sister, because she was my best friend growing up, and seeing her accomplish everything that she has, makes me want to do the same and be just like her!”. Their family is close-knit and loves to have fun, and fun was one of the things that was important to Tara about her senior photos. I always am up for a fun, energetic session, and you can feel the energy in these images!
After graduation, she plans to attend UCF or FAU, and pursue a career in criminal justice. Thank you Tara, for lending me your joy and spirit as one of my spokesmodels and senior clients. I can’t wait to work with you and your amazing family soon!
