It is hard for me to believe that Ashlee will be graduating in just a few, short months. I (admittedly) remember when she was born and have been honored to see her grow and mature over the years. She is a wonderful addition to our family and I can't wait to see where God takes her in the coming years.
Ashlee...you are beautiful, inside and out. And, you know that I have always been a fan of your beautiful hair. ;) Dream big-there is so much more in store-you just have to go after it. Love you, girly.

These next 3 girls hold a very special place in my heart. You can read more about their stories from their summer sessions. They decided to do 2 seasons (summer and fall) for their senior sessions...glad they did. I have a lot of favorites from both. :)
First up is Lindsey. She's rotten, fun and beautiful. :) Glad we've snatched her to help with our kiddos from time to time. They love her to pieces! She will be heading off to Ball State in the fall.
And, then there's Sarah. She's sweet, fun and beautiful. She, too, is a hit among our kiddos and is quite the athlete...just broke a record at the state swim meet this past weekend! She is deciding between 2 schools for next fall. I am slightly biased to one of her choices (ahem...IWU), but know that God will place her right where she needs to be.
And, last but definitely not least, there is Kristina. She is fun, beautiful and quite the athlete. It has been a delight watching her follow my running path (to some degree ;). Her session was focused around her sporting career at PHHS. You can read more about her story above. We are so thankful for her and all that her family means to us. She will be off to Purdue in the fall.
The 3 of these girls' names come up quite often in our house. Our kids are blessed with some very special teens/families who love them like they're own, and for that, we are so very thankful! We are sad they won't be close by in the fall, but know they will be close in our hearts. :) Love you girls!

Meet Morgan...the senior with loads of personality! ;) Seriously, though, she really does have quite the personality (you'll see :) and I guess you could say we had some good laughs throughout her session. Morgan will be pursuing volleyball in college next year at Manchester...she is quite the athlete. I'm looking forward to seeing where these next 4 years take her. Thanks for choosing me to document this time for you. You're awesome! Hugs to you, girl!
I couldn't not post this series below. These images were taken one after the other...and this was only a handful of them. Cracks me up. ;)

It is hard for me to believe that this senior will be graduating soon. I remember the day his mom and dad found out they were expecting him. I remember going to the hospital to await his arrival. I remember when he couldn't pronounce my name so he started calling me Aunt Meme-the name stuck and the whole family started calling me that. ;) I remember having him and his older sister ride in my car (without carseats ;) time and time again. I remember when he asked me what it meant for Jesus to live in his heart and that he wanted that. I remember baby-sitting him and his sister every summer for several years. I remember when he was the ring bearer for our wedding. As you can see, I could go on and on. I am a proud aunt to all of our nieces and nephews...in case you couldn't tell. :)
Well, here we are to the present day and I am honored to see the man this little boy has become. He is God-fearing and has been a true role model among his peers. He is also quite the athlete and musician. Curtis will be going to Kentucky Christian University in the fall to play football. I look forward to seeing where God takes him in this journey of life. Keep dreaming and believing, Curtis...proud of you.

I met this sweet girl years ago when she was just in elementary school. She was quiet, shy and getting a smile out of her would be your day's accomplishment. ;) However, through the years we have seen her personality shine through in the most beautiful way. It was such a treat to be able to capture this time for her. We shared many laughs that enabled me to capture her sweet spirit. As much as I don't enjoy getting old, I do find joy in seeing the younger generations grow and mature into who God is creating them to be. Steph...you're beautiful inside and out. We look forward to seeing where this next chapter takes you! Many hugs!!
