From the light rains of spring, to bright sunlit summer-drenched beaches, through the early-darkening of fall, and on to the crispness of winter; this year has been beyond spectacular!  Thank you, to each and every one of you who supports me and makes all of my days at work absolutely enjoyable.

Sophia had some fun ideas for her senior photos.  Glitter!  Oh man!  Yup, that sparkly stuff was everywhere!  I even found it in my shoes the next day!

This fun young lady opted to have her horse join her for her high school senior photos.  I really do love when the kids include things (or beasts) that make them happy.

The Silers are a wonderfully fun little family.  And when your son’s girlfriend buys Mom a family sitting, she’s a keeper!

Sometimes I really get a kick out of the seniors coming up these days.  This one is equal parts his mother and his father; of whom I remember from high school myself.  It’s funny how depending on which way Nick’s smile is going, I can see each and both of his parents.  I too, am one that will never escape strangers knowing who I am due to family similarities, so we are all among good company.

Hallie will be graduating high school this year and going off into the land of adultness.  I have high hopes that she will have a wonderful future ahead of her!

What’s better than a pretty young lady, a beach, a killer sunset, oh, and a horse?  How about . . . not one thing!  This sitting was so much fun!  I could have stayed for hours longer but when the sun is gone, it’s gone.  Baille was joined by her Mom (a.k.a. the horse wrangler) and her Grandma and Grandpa (a.k.a. the horse chauffeur) for her senior photos at beautiful Empire beach.  Did you know you can ride a horse on the beach in Empire?  Me neither.  But we asked the local people in charge and it is a thing.

Zach will be graduating high school this year.  He was joined by his Mom and sisters for a quick spin around the state hospital before the rain came in.  It’s been a while since I’ve seen these kids and can’t believe how beautiful and grown up they are!  It does make me happy to see that they are still the wonderful, good-humored children I knew a few years ago.  I am so thrilled to continue keeping an eye on them as they grow into adults.  I know Mom and the rest of their family has done an outstanding job on making them who they are!
