Merry Christmas everyone! 

Yes you are reading the title correctly I said Megagigapigahiga!  Too funny Mark and very creative!  That's quite a nickname.  I had the joy of reliving my youth with a Montgomery skateboarder.  He attends Lee High School, goes to church at Vaughn Forest, cheers on his older sister Melayna who is an excellent singer that auditioned on American Idol and during his free time goes to the local skate park to perfect some moves and release some stress.  Of course I couldn't write this and not mention his great parents Ricky and Krista and his little sister known as KK!

As with most cities skateboarding is restricted in many areas but we figured just taking pictures shouldn't be a crime! 

During our transition from location to location he had to put the board down and ride.  I couldn't help but think what would I tell Ricky if I brought him home with a ticket from MPD! 

I remember growing up that in order to perfect a move sometimes required a visit with the pavement and Mark had that experience yesterday!  He got up and shook off the hefty cut on his finger like it's the name of the game.  My visit with the pavement wasn't so easy when you crack a tooth!!

Our goal yesterday was to get some portraits of Mark and his request for the next session is to get some shots of him in action at the Montgomery Skate Park.  He knows I will not reject that invitation!  Keep up the good work Mark!  Stay focused in school, put God first and doors will open for you like nothing you ever imagined.  Talk to you soon and yesterday was a blast!  :)
