A Disney tribute to my mother-in-law...

I don't usually like to post personal photos on this blog however, this post is an exception as I want to give a shout out to my amazingly strong and determined mother-in-law. She found out a little over a year ago that she had breast cancer and she immediately began aggressive treatment. She's a hair dresser and works in her own salon as well as teaches at a community college so when she lost her hair it was a pretty difficult experience that I can't even begin to imagine. Her hair is her staple. Recently, she has enough hair back that she's comfortable not wearing a wig anymore and although she doesn't love it, I think she looks amazing and is glowing. We're so thankful for her life and being able to celebrate that she is cancer free. We went to Disney World with her to celebrate and the last night there we enjoyed the Polynesian Luau which was a perfect ending to a perfect vacation. 

Here is a photo of my husband and his mother with smiles of thankfulness. 

 Here are a couple photos of me and my family...so much to be thankful for.

SeniorBeauty

I love taking senior photos as I get to use lots of creativity and don't have the short time frame that I normally do with toddlers and infants. Seniors usually enjoy their sessions and have lots of fun getting to show their personalities. Sometimes they bring their parents, sometimes they bring a friend, sometimes they like to have their sessions with just me. Whatever their preference, I try to make them as comfortable as I can and take my time so they know my goal is to capture their true personality through a lens. I have several seniors coming up this summer and I'm super excited to work with these young adults. They all have so much to look forward to with their entire lives ahead of them. I love seeing the excitement on their faces as they get ready to close the high school chapter. 

This gorgeous young lady plays lacrosse for Ravenwood so her schedule is super busy and we finally found a nice weekend to take her photos. She brought along her mother and a friend for support and I loved seeing her beautiful smile shine. She is beautiful on the inside and out and I can't wait to see what she will accomplish! Thanks so much Mariah for letting me capture these gorgeous photos of you! You are bound for great things and I can't wait to hear about your successes! 

Family: The Higgs

This precious family of mostly boys lives around the corner from me and their daddy works with my husband. They have the prettiest blue eyes that sparkle and pop every time I photograph them and I just loved how these pics turned out! It was Cole's 9 month pics and you can tell he just adores his big brothers and the attention they give him. I really enjoyed seeing their beautiful smiles on such a gorgeous spring day! Such a pure joy!
