Friendship Session at Ivy Creek

Last week, I had the pleasure of getting together with an awesome group of girls to do a friendship session before they all head off to college post their high school graduation.  What a fun way to celebrate the friendships they've formed in high school while celebrating this new step in their lives!  Check out some of my favorite images :)

Katie's Senior Portrait Session

When I was eleven years old, I got my first babysitting gig - colicky infant and her shy older sister.  I spent the entire night bouncing that infant, singing "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" 'cause that was the only song that would keep her happy.  A few years later, I took pleasure in tricking that toddler into nap times when she was misbehaving - I'd put her in "time out" in bed for 10 minutes, and if I returned to check on her and her eyes were open, her time doubled.  I don't think she was ever still awake when I checked back.  So, given these memories, it's a little strange for me to post that infant's senior portrait session!  Where has the time gone!?!  And how old and I?

Katie, you've grown into a lovely young lady, and I'm super excited for the next step in your journey! Blessings :)

Nicole's Senior Portraits

I was thrilled three years ago, when I was still teaching, the day I looked on my roster and saw Nicole's name there! I had known her family in church, and I knew that I would love having her as one of my students, though there was no way I could have predicted just how special Nicole would become to me. We cheered each other up and encouraged each other throughout that year, and I now consider her not just as a former student, but as a friend. Nicole is a beautiful woman of God, and I'm looking forward to seeing all that her future holds!
