SENIORS!!!

I was given the privilege of spending the morning with this sweet family and their youngest son, who has just graduated from highschool.  His dad serves as one of the pastors at my church, so I've known of their family for several years.  This was the first opportunity I'd had to spend some quality time with them, and it was truly a pleasure.  I love to see parents of boys (young men) who have managed to "do it right."  It's always great to have more examples to follow!

Last but not least, I stole a quick moment with the proud parents.  :)  Sweet, sweet family!

More Sweet Seniors.

Have I mentioned how much I love senior portraits???  :)  Yes, I know I have... but just take a look at this beautiful, young lady and you'll know exactly why!  There's just something so wonderful about this time in a person's life.  They exude with energy and excitement and eagerness of what life has in store for them next.  I love it!

Senior Session Preview.

I had the privilege of meeting with these two handsome, young men and their mom earlier this week.  What a pleasure they were!

Seniors.

And, of course, I couldn't leave out a few previews of my 4-wheelin' chauffeur .  :)  What a natural beauty, she is.  We had a great time.  Just loved her!

Days 279 & 280. Thankfulness Challenge, Days 5 & 6.

Oddly enough, I'm actually finding this to be a challenge!  Yes, I realize it's called the "thankfulness challenge," but I truly didn't expect it to actually BE one.  I think I'm making it more difficult than it has to be, because I'm trying to avoid the obvious... I could give you a new reason EVERY day why I'm thankful for my husband and children alone.  I want to attempt to think of something new that I don't often think, "Gee, I'm really thankful for that!"  But, then, to take a picture to go along with it????

Yesterday, my post was as follows:

Today, I am thankful for shampoo. Yes, that was one of my first thoughts this morning as I hugged my little KS3 and could smell his freshly washed hair from the night before. His red, tousled mess felt soft against my face. Sweet morning moments. I LOVE that. :)

Today, it was this:

Thankful for little boys' basketball games. Thankful for KS2 who surprised me by making my bed this morning. Thankful to crawl back into it for a cozy, 30 minute nap this afternoon. :) Now, I'm trying to force myself into being thankful for my elliptical machine. :/


OK, so I could have taken a picture of my bed, or even of the lovely mixed blessing of the elliptical machine.  I feel my creativity is STUMPED.  :/
 
So, for now, I will catch up on pictures by adding some from this morning's session.  And, yes, it DOES count, because trust me... I AM thankful for my sessions!  I love taking pictures.  And I am thankful to have the opportunity to share that with others.  :)
 

Day 277. Seniors.

I'm finishing up some editing this week, and thought I'd post some more favorites:

Day 267. Senior Sessions.

Prognosis on the camera is not so good.  We'll see what happens.

In the meantime, I still have a few sessions to finish editing.  I got this one completed today, and thought I'd share some more.
