I will never forget what she told me last year when I complained about being overweight. She stopped me and said, "No you are not overweight. You are under strong." Mentally that…

Without the upheaval of my 'safe and comfortable life' as a wife, I would most certainly have missed out on some pivotal transformations in my life. 

I want them each to have a photo of themselves that they look at where they feel confident in who they are and how they look.  I want each child to rock their own look, be their own person, and be proud of themselves just the way they are.

Psalms 91:14-16. “Because Holt loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect Holt, for Holt acknowledges my name. Holt will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with Holt in trouble, and I will deliver Holt and honor him. With a long life I will satisfy you, Holt, and I will show you my salvation.”

No one is gonna have a more kick butt senior album than the kids that participate in the VIP program as they will have professional pics from various events/shoots from throughout their entire senior year. 

I am a kid at heart.  I love to have fun.  I love to take pictures. I love to make others smile.  I love helping others. I love creating memories.  So why not, put it all together?!

I couldn't think of a better person to acknowledge on Father's Day after hearing that description at church than my brother who doesn't even have children of his own.  He cares and loves all of God's children and I know all those he interacts with have been positively impacted by his involvement.  

As Father's Day weekend approaches, several of the seniors I've photographed this past year shared thoughts about their dad or male role model in their life that they admire. 

Hallie chose some great pieces from Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, American Eagle and Express to create the perfect outfits that not only flatter her figure but also complement her skin tone.  Did you know that I've created a guide for helping seniors choose what will look best on them?  After your session has been scheduled, you will receive a link to this information which I hope proves to be helpful when planning your outfits.   

Hayes said, "I like this one because it's like I'm giving grandpa a hug."  Ahhhhh, so sweet! 

I traveled down to the campus of Eastern Illinois in Charleston, Illinois to meet Lili for a few pics in her cap and gown.  This girl just got a Master's degree in dietetics.  Impressive! 

To celebrate Mother's Day, I asked some of the seniors I've photographed this year what they've learned from their moms or share something with me that they haven't thanked their mom for doing, guiding or teaching them.  

I may not always be the #1 girl in your life, but you and your brothers will always have the top spot in mine.
