Hannah and Abby

As I was running out the door to my next photo session I caught Banana and her BFF in our driveway looking so cute and super stylish!! These two have been buddies since they were four when they became neighbors, and here they are about to enter the teen years - my oh my - how times flies!

"The days drag on but the years fly by"....

Oh My Goodness Gracious!!

I am still alive! I promise!  Life has taken on QUITE the hectic pace lately. This is always my busy time of year for photography, so that is expected, but this year it seems to have doubled or tripled the normal pace. Add to that the fact that I have stayed very busy as a substitute teacher at "the most wonderful school on the planet", as I like to call it.  I have enjoyed that SOO much! This is the first time in 18 years that all girls are in school all day, so it was my first opportunity to do something like it.   Since school has started I am usually there at least twice a week.  And even adding to that is the whole college search, visits, application process, interviews, scholarship research, etc - that is a full time job in itself!   Life is very busy, but very good and everyone is thriving and happy!  Banana has adjusted to the transition to the upper school quite well, and Miss Boo just LOVES being in school all day and just can't learn enough.  She is a little sponge.  I think her reading abilities are about to surpass my own - HA!   I haven't taken too many pictures of our normal daily life lately, so I will leave you with a few images from some of my recent sessions..... For the next three weeks I have approximately 25 photo sessions on the schedule - hoping and praying to keep our home running smoothly and everyone dressed, fed, and happy!

Punkin's Senior Pictures

I can't even believe it. How did my baby girl become a senior on her way to college?  I'm so proud of her - she has a perfect GPA, incredible ACT scores, she is one of the highest elected officials in her student body, and she loves the Lord.  We just couldn't ask for anything more - we have been blessed beyond measure.   And she's beautiful to boot! :)
























We had so much fun taking these pictures (that is after the "what to wear" crisis was resolved - thank you cousin Casey!) - these were just her first top picks - we literally have hundreds more.  I love how they turned out and I think it's a perfect blessing of a way to end her educational journey here at home.  The rest is just beginning!
