Opelika High School Cross Country Athlete - Caroline Couey

When I met with Caroline and her mom about doing this session, I was beyond excited to get to create some amazing images for a runner. It really took some serious planning and research on my end to be able to come up with a game plan for her session. I mean, how do you make running look Epic?? Especially cross country style where they don’t run past you repeatedly to get multiple shots! But after some planning and finding the best location for the session, the creative juices started flowing and I quickly had everything mapped out for her session.

The biggest problem I faced was getting variety and not just the same “running” pose. We needed to spice things up a bit.

My favorite part of this session is that I thought it was a good idea to run backwards, directly in front of her as she runs towards me. As many of you might know, I am no runner and so she kept running me over within two steps!! It was hilarious and so much fun trying to get the best shot like that. But I think I pulled it off quite well actually.

There are great things ahead for Caroline and I can’t wait to see where life takes her next!
