This last Thursday night I got to see Coldplay in concert in Amsterdam which allowed me to explore the rest of the weekend. In my exploring, I met Adrian. Adrian is a soccer, or should I say fútbol, freestyle(er) from Germany traveling and street performing to fund his trip. I saw him on the streets of Amsterdam doing his thing and I stopped in awe of some of the tricks he was performing. As he was taking a break, I went up to him and introduced myself and asked him if I could take a few shots. He agreed as long as I sent them to him. I only got a few in that short time but was happy with the result.

We're throwing it back today to a shoot I did with the 2016 Baylor Soccer Seniors. These girls are all-around studs. For those of you who don't know, I have played on the Baylor women's soccer practice squad for the past three years. It has been a blast getting to keep up with soccer since I've graduated high school. Even though they kick my butt on the field most of the time at least I get to call myself a D1 athlete, a women's athlete ;).

When I heard that I was going to be 1 of 5 guys out of 40 students on my study abroad this summer, I was a little nervous. I needed at least one guy that I could have a beer with or go on an adventure. I was lucky to get two, one of whom is Will Housewright. Will is a gentle giant who loves soccer. Especially Germany soccer (unless USA is playing, of course). I've really enjoyed getting to know him so far this summer and I'm looking forward to the coming weeks and the experiences we'll have together. Will is a good dude so I'm glad we got this rainy day shoot in.

Jillian Roberts is a Senior Business major from Plano, TX and I've known Jillian for a few years now and she is a constant source of laughter and joy. Her quick witted comments will leave you on the ground laughing. It was fun walking around Maastricht with her as we took these pictures. Just thinking of times that I've spent with her makes me laugh. Like that one time she got her hair caught in a bush. Classic. I'm excited to hang out with her more this summer as we travel Europe. I almost forgot to mention that she loves ice cream. A lot.

In the last two weeks I've been in 9 different countries. It was so nice to get back to Maastricht on Sunday and just relax. On Monday I asked my friend Aimee Ihlenfeld if she would like to go do a quick shoot. She didn't have plans so we walked around the Guest House, where we're staying this summer and we got some awesome shots with the unfortunate overcast weather. Aimee is from Chicago, IL and will be a junior at Baylor this next year. She doesn't like rules, always has a smile on her face and is always down for adventure. I'm glad she's on this program with me and I can't wait to hang out with her more.
