Makayla ~ Baxter 2012 Senior

The best way to get me to shoot a senior session twice, pray for rain during your session. I’m laughing just thinking about it. We spent Makayla’s first session shooting and running from the rain. Shoot, run, repeat. The worst, we were shooting the horse pictures and saw it coming. We ran for the barn and proceeded to watch the biggest down pour of the season. The second time we were blessed with beautiful light but honestly, I so glad we had both.

First, Makayla’s hand that really does tell a whole lot about her. I see what is important to her, what she likes to do, what she loves to eat, her heritage, memories of her daddy and her horse’s name. Have fun checking out her art work!!! <3 <3 <3

The Maytag Water

It wasn’t in the washer, it was in the water! Working at Maytag was like being a part of a big family, you may think it was like working at any big company, it wasn’t. Ask any Maytager who is working at another company now and with a twinkle it their eye, they will tell you about the amazing Maytag experience.

When I was pregnant with Kyle, Mary was pregnant with Zach, Barb was pregnant with Abby and Marti was pregnant with Erica. Here they are and a few others whose dads worked there or parents worked there later. What a group these seniors are!

Allison and Anna

I’ll post their full family shoot from this fall but for now, an image that just warms my heart beyond measure. Allison and Anna, you are both so beautiful on the inside and out. Well, maybe beautiful on the inside and yummy on the out ; ) I love this close up that really shows in many ways how much you do look alike!

Emily B ~ 2012 Hampton Senior

Miss Emily came a distance to see me and I appreciate every single trip they made to me. As time went on, I’m not quite sure if they were more interested in seeing me or going to LaCabana ~ either way I’ll take it ; ) Emily is graduating mid-term and is off to college, way to go Emily!

Before Emily’s session, we had conversations about clothing choices. There are two outfits below that were chosen for special reasons and you see that I loved them both, alot. The red dress – Emily’s grandma wore that on a date. The sentimental value was sweet and she wore the dress ‘well’ : ) The cream Gunne Sax dress was Emily’s mom’s prom dress. The dress both with and without the hat was absolutely killer. Both outfits were some of my favorites for the year!!

Thank you Emily for showing me your heart in so many ways after our time together. You are a precious soul and a gift to your parents!

Seniors 2012

At the end of every session I had the senior write on their hand/hands with permanent marker. I put my head down a bit feeling silly asking them to do something that felt a little odd. It got easier to ask as the season went on. I didn’t care what they wrote, where we were when I took the picture, only that it might tell a little bit about them. Some wrote a lot, some just a si…mple word, all of them are beautiful and honestly make me a bit teary. As I start to blog and post my seniors, this will be their introduction. At the end, I’ll have a great slideshow of some amazing seniors who will do amazing things in this world. Thanks for playing with my game, I am a goofball.
