Meet Tya - a traveling drum major, doodle-owning, fashionista from Smyrna, Delaware with a Kool-Aid smile.  She’s a high school senior with many interests and really challenged us to capture a wide variety of images in a relatively brief session frequently interrupted by thunderstorms.  Tya’s interest in traveling led us to start at the Wilmington Train Station. While we intended to create some lifestyle images of Tya catching a train, we found the underbelly of the station provided a great setting to capture her second interest - her drums.  Tya has been a Drum Major at Smyrna for the past two years and her passion is the snare drum.  After crawling around on French Street trying to capture the perfect urban drum image and completely covered with dirt and oil, I followed Tya to Rockwood Park where she got her fash on ad played with her doodle (Dante her dachsund-poodle :).  We didn’t intend to shoot sports portrait but we did get to see Tya run the 40 yard dash in about 4 seconds in a dress and heels when a thunderstorm came through the park.
