Julie: class of 2011

Julie graduates this week from APU.  Julie has lived in several states, so when it came to her graduation photos she chose one of her favorite places to be in California-the beach!  I was so excited to break loose a bit and head to somewhere new.  We drove down together and had such a great time.  Julie I loved to hear your heart for your family, your future plans of ministry and of course your Red Wings.

I loved being down at the beach and enjoyed every minute-from people in alleys, to bike riders, to having freezing toes.  It was memorable and so much fun! 

Simply put, you are beautiful inside & out.

You are probably studying hard this week.  Enjoy all the pomp and circumstance on Saturday.

May God continue to light your path. 

Congratulations Julie!

Kaitlin: Class of 2012

Kaitlin is a Texan & a high school senior. When she came into town to visit sunny California and some of her old friends, she & her mom shot me an email to set up a photo shoot.  

I was more than pumped!
I love high school seniors and I love Texas....put them together and I had Kaitlin. 

She was game for whatever I wanted to do-so we jumped right into the fun!  

I knew immediately we had fun times ahead. 

Celia discipled Kaitlin, so of course we wanted her to join in on the fun.

Kaitlin & her first pair of fo' real high heels.  You look amazing Kaitlin!

Kaitlin, you are one gorgeous girl inside and out!  I loved seeing you come out of your shell as time unfolded during the shoot-you rocked it by simply being you.  Hang onto Jesus and the love He has for you that is unmatchable.  My girls always need fabulous Christian high school senior, like you, to look up to :)  I can see why you make your momma & dad so proud!  

I can't wait to see where God brings you for college.  One thing I am sure, the prayers of your family will go before and behind you and will blanket you each step of the journey.

But for now, slip on those boots and have a great senior year!!

Taylor: senior portraits

Taylor is graduating in just a few weeks.  This was only my 2nd senior photo shoot ever, but being a former high school teacher, I am always excited to grab a few hours with a high school kid.  I love this stage in life.  It is the first chapter where really you get to start calling the shots and everything your parents have bugged you about, now actually matter and start to make sense :)  

Taylor is awesome.  He is getting into the guitar, getting into photography, and getting ready for college.  His girlfriend came along with us and the 3 of us laughed, made funny faces, made fun of Taylor, and I even stepped on a dead squirrel.
This young man will go on to do great things and more importantly do them for the glory of God.  He loves Jesus. He has an awesome family. He is sharp, good at speaking with adults and doesn't take himself too seriously.  The pleasure, minus the squirrel part, was all mine Taylor!  Thanks for saying cheese over and over again :)

 

May God take you where He wants you to go from this day forward.
I know you have the guts to follow Him !

Senior Portraits: Taylor Vincent

Just a sneak peek of a very fun high school senior I got to hang out with last week....it rocked.
More to come very soon....

Class of 2010: Ashley

Ashley rocks! She is special to my family because she loves my kids & is an amazing babysitter to them. She eats Mac & Cheese with them and even lets them brush her hair & put barrettes in it. She is also graduating and heading to college in the fall. So sad for us!
We had a blast together and being together brought out my inner high schooler, fo sho!

Congratulations Ashley! We are proud of you!
