All The Feels

To the Parents of Seniors in High School

I don't know about you, but I have so many emotions as this year is passing by. I tend to keep busy or my mind will race to all the thoughts of the near future. Soon, our babies will graduate. I never thought that I would feel how I feel. Of course, I feel sad, excited, and happy for my son but I never expected to feel scared! I mean legit terrified. I know my husband and I raised a sweet, kind hearted, gentle soul. I know we have tried to give him all the right skills but I can't help it. Soon he will be leaving and off to face the world that I can no longer protect him from. Urgh! That is just terrifying to me!

This year has also been a time of reflection and reminiscing. I look forward to Sundays to post a picture for #seniorsunday. It allows for me for a moment to go back and look at all the memories we have collected over the last 17 years. It brings tears to my eyes and also the biggest smile to my face. I have always taken way to many pictures and I have no intention to stop. These years have flown by and although time is a thief, I have all the mementos to relive those sweet moments over and over again.

To the parents of seniors, I can now empathize all the emotions you have or will have. Slow down this year. Our busy lives sometimes keep us from enjoying little moments with our babies. Take little moments with your senior. Book the photoshoot. Go to the movie. Have dinner together. Spend this last year with them before they move on to the next chapter in their lives. To my past clients of seniors, I thank you! Thank you for trusting me to capture your baby as they transition to adulthood. I thank you sharing this milestone with me. It is a privilege to be chosen to be afforded the opportunity. To my future clients, let's freeze the moments for you and your senior to treasure always!
