I feel old. Isn’t Paizlee still three years old?
Well, she is not. She’s still beautiful and kind- just the adult version. In fact she graduates from ELDO this May after completing her senior year with online classes from ELDO. I love that this is offered for some students as everyone learns differently and sometimes the drama of a big high school isn’t the right thing. Finishing school this way has enabled Paizlee to have a job at Gut Racing where they make dirt bike seat covers.
Over two decades ago(that’s 20+ years if you’re counting) I first met the Miller Family as Jaci(mom) watched my children in her child care business. Paizlee wasn’t even born yet(right?). In fact, Jaci used to help me with my photo business, too (see link at the end)- too funny! Mike, (dad) has been working on our cars forever and we are so grateful for his honest and meticulous care.
With photo sessions here and there over the years, I recently met up with Paizlee and her boyfriend Hunter at a cool property just off the El Dorado Trail. We spent some time there and then I said, “wait, where is your racing truck and what color is it?”. Basically we all then headed down to Placerville where her pink truck was stored and set up a few shots in the setting sun. As this was a quick shift in plans, it was great to have the assistance of Hunter as I didn’t have my lighting equip with me. Hunter was great at the reflector and enthusiastic about getting things right and shared Paizlee’s passion for racing.
Paizlee races her mini truck at Placerville Speedway. Look for the pink truck, number 26. She also enjoys country music, camping and traveling and basically anything outside. When I asked her what she advice is for incoming high schoolers she said, “stay motivated”. What she wants to remember about this season of her life? “That she earned everything she has”.
That’s awesome. Congratulations Paizlee and thanks for a fun afternoon!
