Senior: Wanda

 This young lady is spirit, life, and love.

We've been friends [and secret adopted sisters. Shhhh. We decided that it's a really good thing that we're not actual sisters, cause our moms could never have handled us together] ever since we were about 2 years old... Through crushes, fights, laughs, and giggles... She's a true friend. She has big dreams for her young life and I love watching her discover and thrive in them.

She loves reading, social life and parties are a must, life isn't life without a bit of adventure, sunglasses on a sunny day, movies with sisters and friends, pizza, and coke.

Wanda, you inspire me honey. Keep bringing sunshine to the people around you and shoot for the moon. [Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars]

Meet Wanda!!

 Love this...!!!

You can do it sista!!

Happy Thursday everyone!!

Senior:: Ericka

       Her family moved to the beautiful South when she was 7 years old, they joined our church, and we became immediate enemies. No joke. I thought she was the bossiest, sassiest, blondest, little Northern girl. Of course with a bit of time, I got over my silly little ideas and then realized that she was one of the sweetest girls on earth. We soon became best of friends and have been close ever since. In my high school year of school she joined our new church school [they weren't enrolling 12th graders yet] and much to our dislike, we didn't see each other as much as we'd like. Now we're all grown up and moving on in life. She plans to join a college after graduating, this girl has a very big and bright future ahead of her!

     She loves to curl up on the couch with a good book and a mug of coffee, has a hidden talent of painting, loves evenings at home with her family, chocolate is a must, and did I mention style? This girl has incredible style. Love it!! She's beautiful. inside and out. And she's made my life so much more bright. I'm proud of you dear!! Go after those beautiful dreams of yours and don't settle for less than the best that God has for you. You'll go far.

Meet Ericka!!

 

Her personal fav(:

Did I mention her gorgeous blue eyes? To die for!!

Happy Monday everyone!!!!

     I never knew how much sweeter my life would become when this special girl moved from her home in West Virginia to the fair state of South Carolina...It's been an amazing 9 months getting to know this amazing girl. Many movie nights, long late talks, giggles and lots of  laughs, sticky notes, road trips [BEACH!!], a trip to Montana [!!!(:], and a couple fun photo sessions!! [and a hundred other fun things in-between!!]
     She loves old books, girl's movie nights, coffee shops, photography [and she's good!], vintage...lots of vintage, frogs are the bomb, she eats her pizza backwards, a rainy day inside reading a good book is paradise, she has the most amazingly contagious smile, her love and desire to know our Savior more is quite inspiring [I wanna be like her someday(;]....  She. is. incredible.

Meet Trina!!

Gorgeous much? I think YES!!

 

 

 

 Trina, Thank-you so much. For being you. You are beautiful, inside and out.

Happy beautiful Thursday afternoon to all you lovely folks out there!!

Meeting your boyfriend's family for the first time can be a bit nerve-racking/: ... But when I finally arrived in the fair state of Kansas and met these sweet people, all anxieties vanished. Their beautiful home, relaxed lifestyle, and their love for each other made me feel completely comfortable.
While talking to Doris one afternoon she mentioned something about getting Christmas pictures done  this year, but she hadn't been able to find the time or the right person to do them [not knowing that that's what I do]. After she heard that I rather enjoy taking photos, she asked if I would consider taking their family pictures. As always, I jumped at the opportunity. She suggested taking them at the local green house because of the wind and cold weather outdoors. I was all into it! Pictures in a green house, how much more creative can it get?!  We dashed outside to the barn and snapped a few there and then went into town.

Meet my boyfriend's oldest brother and family!!

The Nislys!!

I'm so proud to call ya'll friends now and I can't wait to see you again!!

Happy wintery Thursday everyone!!
