Oh, the ambition.

I’ve been so impressed with the interesting and ambitious high school seniors I’ve met this season. Nikita was one of these ambitious students — she’s going to PCC now on her way to a pre-med degree and then medical school. She wants to be a pediatrician.

Nikita and I had lots of fun on a fall day a couple of weeks ago at the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. I love how it looked there with the bright fall leaves.

Nikita was such a natural in her photos — casual, laid-back and sweet. She’ll definitely be a good doctor.

Thanks, Nikita, for coming out to be photographed! I had lots of fun and I can’t wait to hear about all the things you’ll do out there in the world.
