\"ChicagoAh\u2026easily one of my favorite images from the early days of my business.\u00a0 The year?\u00a0 2006.\u00a0 I hadn’t even yet celebrated one year in business.\u00a0 This beautiful girl stole my heart, her and her brother’s session is still one I replay when I think of the early days of my business.\u00a0 We spent our time exploring the local children’s garden and I remember how beautifully the light hit.\u00a0 This little girls’ curls were EVERYTHING and her mom dressed her up so stylishly!\u00a0 It was a great afternoon.<\/p>\n

I loved being able to meet up with both mom and this not-so-little-girl the other day for an urban session for her high school senior year photos.\u00a0 I loved catching up with this girl, getting a quick fast forward of what her life has been like this past few years and using some really exquisite light and some fun backgrounds to create images that highlight who she is, a sort of “slice of life” in her senior year.<\/p>\n

SIGH.\u00a0 And it hits me hard, to be honest, because this girl and my own daughter are the same age.\u00a0 It is just highlights to me how quickly time has flown.\u00a0 I mean in my mind’s eye this “little” girl (pictured above) hasn’t grown up at all!\u00a0 And when I met up with her she is this beautiful, statuesque dancer.\u00a0 A beautiful young lady about to embark into her own life.\u00a0 Bittersweet.\u00a0 Beautiful.\u00a0 Frustrating.\u00a0 Lovely.\u00a0 I think those four years sum up what most of us moms of seniors feel like.\u00a0 A mix of dread, fear, worry and happiness that we got to this point and almost a sense of relief that these kids are thriving and about to be their own people but yet so sad because in our mind’s eye they’re still little littles.<\/p>\n

But enough waxing poetic about the past\u2026fast forward to September 2019 where we have beautiful Becca, class of 2020, photographed in some amazing September light.\u00a0 September really IS magical.\u00a0 One of my favorite months of the year for photography!!\u00a0 Becca: you are gorgeous.\u00a0 You are smart.\u00a0 You are amazing.\u00a0 I know the future holds only potential and beauty for you\u2026your mom and dad did a really great job.\u00a0 You’ve worked really hard to get here.\u00a0 And it’s crazy to me that you look the same!!\u00a0 LOL<\/p>\n
