Gymnastics at the Lake with Madi

Gymnatic senior portrait- a leap into the splits with a Foothill High School senior.
In case you live in the Tri-Valley and don't already know who Madi is, allow me to enlighten you.  Madi is a level 10 gymnast, which I guess is one step before an Olympic level.  When she was 14 Madi was offered a full ride to Oregon State, and since she did a verbal commit then, she's known where she was going to college since she was in 8th grade.  Consider my mind boggled.

Now in order to make this all happen Madi, who goes to HS in Pleasanton, commutes to her gym in the peninsula 4 days a week and practices 5 hours per day.  Pleasanton USD was kind enough to allow her a class schedule that lets her to head out a bit early for this.

So I knew all this about Madi before our photoshoot, and I was really wondering what a person would be like with that kind of drive and dedication.  Was she going to stare me down with steely intensity?  Was it going to be all about focus, details, minutes on the clock?  ​

Not at all.  Madi drove up with her mom, we talked about outfits, we talked about classes...apart from a few shots in her leos, Madi's senior session was just like anybody else.  Actually, I take that back.  Madi is both totally casual and pretty silly so her session included more peace signs than I typically take.  ​

Madi's cap & gown mini in the spring is going to be awesome because we're trying to time it for when her sister Lacy is home to get the two of them together: Lacy is already on the gymnastics team at OSU and Madi is super excited to join her in the fall. I can't wait to see you two together!
