Ashton - Senior Pictures

Last weekend I took Ashton's senior pictures. When she first emailed me about taking her photos I thought "The Lollipop Princess wants me to take her pictures!" Haha...now let me explain. Ashton and I both had the same second grade teacher, Mrs. Hard at Morgan Elementary. Mrs. Hard is not a teacher quickly forgotten for lots of reasons (her love of teddy bears, her fun classroom plays...or in my case, the only teacher to ever "write me up" in grade school...for rolling my pencil excessively on my desk...I'm still scarred). Anyways, Mrs. Hard does this really neat thing where she does the same class play every ten years and then invites all the seniors in high school that were in her class back for a special performance. The play we did when I was in second grade was "The Lollipop Princess" and I had the lead role of Lollipop Princess (clearly my acting skills never improved past the second grade). When I went back for the special performance Mrs. Hard had the students introduce themselves and the role they were playing, then she had the seniors do the same. To get to the point of this long story...Ashton and I both had the role of the Lollipop princess! I think of it as our own little special connection, so when she asked me to take her photos the first thing I thought was "Who would have guessed ten years ago that we would be connecting again for her senior pictures!" So fun!

Anyways, on to the preview! I had a great time taking your pictures, Ashton...enjoy your preview and good luck with homecoming this week! :)

Sprinkle Family - Anniversary Photos

Last weekend I got to take this sweet couple's pictures! I have been meaning to get them up for days now, but a sweet baby keeps needing my attention. :) So I'm going to keep my words short and just get the pictures up. Thanks so much for letting me take your photos...Happy 50th Anniversary!

Melissa: Senior Pictures

This past weekend I had the chance to take an old family friend's senior pictures. I literally remember when Melissa was born and somehow now she is a senior! One thing you will notice fairly quickly is that Melissa maybe has the prettiest eyes I've ever seen (and a megawatt smile...but let's talk about the eyes). I can remember seeing her run around the pool at the Dunes when she was a little kid and thinking even way back then "Man, I'm so jealous of her eyelashes!" In fact, during our photo session I kept asking her to "look down" because I wanted to take a few pictures of just her eyelashes. Ten years later...still jealous.

Melissa...thanks for choosing me to take your senior pictures...you made my job easy! :) Hope you enjoy your preview!
