This is the Time....

I love that song...always have. I guess I see life set to music. An on-going soundtrack, if you will. A perpetual slide show that needs a background track. Spending time with Nathan and Lexie was a lot of fun and made me think about how fast time flies, yet how some things seem like "only yesterday." Anyway...now, I've got to go find my iPod and my Billy Joel collection!

P.S. After listening, I realize that this song is slightly depressing, but I still like it.

A Southern Gentleman

Meet Nathan....With roots extending from Wisconsin to California to Indiana and now Mississippi, Nathan is an aspiring graphic designer and soon-to-be-freshman at the University of Southern Miss. I met up with this member of the district champion NWR golf team on the course this week for senior pictures. It was a refreshing treat to spend time with him and his friend Lexie (more pictures to follow). I wish him the best of luck as he starts this new course in his life.

The Last Song (well...not really)

I knew I had taken a break from the blog, but I didn't realize it had been soooo long! This weekend I had the pleasure of attending the senior recital of a very talented young lady, who just happens to be my cousin. Leigh Ann, you did a great job! We are very proud of you!

Rebel Rider

On her field trip today, Caroline got to ride a horse named "Rebel" by herself! There were two "spotters" and someone to lead the horse, but I didn't have to ride with her. All the kids really enjoyed it. Today's activities, including horse and covered wagon rides, a petting zoo and other games, were put on by a group called "Horses for Handicapped." Their volunteers did a great job.

Big Jake

This weekend I had the pleasure of taking senior portraits of Jake, a laid back guy who was a great sport about having tons of pictures taken (despite the wind). I hope he doesn't mind the John Wayne reference to "Big Jake." I guess years of being inundated with John Wayne and his movies is starting to rub off on me. I must admit taking pictures of "big" people does make me a little more nervous than the preschoolers I usually deal with, but I had a great time. I hope we made his mama proud!
