March 5, 2012 – A year of portraits – Lindsey & Courtney Peyton

Today’s portrait is of Lindsey and Courtney Peyton just before the Region 2 boys semi-final basketball game at Madisonville-North Hopkins High School in Madisonville, Ky, Monday night. They are avid Maroon fans and I’ve seen them at just about every game I have covered for north this year and decided to capture them for my daily portrait.
