It was bittersweet to watch my baby Taylor dress up and attend her last prom.  Just had to share a photo or two….  (proud momma!)  She had a fantastic time and we really enjoyed meeting Cole.  What an awesome young man, would love to meet his parents some day and let them know what a gentleman they have raised!  :)  I know the kids all enjoyed prom and everything looked great!  Congratulations seniors and to the Prom Queen & King, Erika Ebersold and Scott Mayfield.

I had such fun Saturday night….going to Prom.  :)  I think it’s one of my favorite times of the year, the guys and gals at Jamesport are always so much fun and their dance decorations are always incredible!!!  These kids go all out when it comes to their dances.  This year’s theme was A Night in Paris, complete with the Eiffel Tower.

Grand March was awesome, watching the couples arrive in style.  Some in limos, hummers, big shiny dodge pickups (hey, we’re rednecks after all!), and even a horse drawn carriage.  The kids refused to let the rain put a damper on their fun and spirits.

The Prom was at the new pavilion building in Jamesport so there was plenty of room for fans and family of the couples to see the arrival, grand march and presentation of seniors as well as the King and Queen.  Then the fun began.  Dancing, singing and gettin’ rowdy!  I always leave with my cheeks hurting from smiling and laughing so much.  Thanks again for such a great time gang!  Looking forward to next year!

Wishing the Senior Class all the best as their days wind down at Tri-County!  These are the days they will ALWAYS remember!

And a great big CONGRATULATIONS to the Prom Queen & King!

It’s that time of year again!  No…. I’m not talking about tax time (although that is definitely in season…. YUCK! I hate paperwork!), but it’s time for Spring Sports.  Boy’s golf and tennis as well as girl’s and boy’s track and field.  Thanks for all the laughs during memory mate photos.  It’s always fun to see the kids and I am usually entertained with their off the wall attitude and sarcasm.  :)  Lots of laughs!

Best of luck to all the athletes this season!  Looking forward to see who qualifies for state this year!

Check out some of the random shots from memory mates!  Photos will be delivered to the school on Wednesday & Thursday!  As well as button orders I completed for the Athletic Boosters!  And a big THANK YOU goes out to Dana Creason and Martha Roberts for helping me with order forms.  Look at Me filled button orders for the Athletic Boosters to raise funds again this year and the girls helped me during photo shoots!  I REALLY appreciate all they did.

Next year all Memory Mate orders with Look at Me will receive a composite and wallets rather than a 3×5 photo of the individual.  These have become even more popular the last couple of years due in part to our original designs.  These are not purchased templates or lab photos, I personally design all the memory mates myself and take pride in making them different from the competition!

Other studios won’t take the time and effort into personalizing your memory mate with your child’s name and school event.  Look at Me personalizes EVERY memory mate with you in mind.

Now there’s a lot of onery!   Congratulations to all the seniors this year too!  Make the most of your last few weeks, work hard and leave your mark!

How did it happen?  That my babies are growing up?  My little girl will graduate this year from high school and parents can purchase a tribute in the yearbook for their child.  Of course, being the photographer’s kid I couldn’t just send snapshots….  I had to design one myself.  My little chubby, 9 lb baby has grown into a beautiful young woman whom I am so VERY proud of.

I don’t know how all these years flew by in the blink of an eye.

Watching her learn to use her spoon.  She was always the MESSIEST child.

Watching her learn to read, now that was amazing.  She wasn’t even 4.

Seeing her daddy teaching her to ride her first ‘big girl’ bike.

Feeling my heart sink deep into the pit of my stomach the first time she was thrown from her horse…. and bounced off the ground face first.

Praying as I taught her how to drive.

Looking into her eyes the first time she rode an airplane and her nerves settled.

Marveling at her amazing spirit and heart when she learned what loving like Christ is all about…. in Haiti.

And now…. now I’m expected to let go of her.  Watch her become the woman we have raised her to be.  The hardest and most rewarding part of all.

Bittersweet.

I’m so thankful that God allowed me to raise his precious girl.  Because after all, she doesn’t belong to me, I was just blessed to be her mother.

Recently I attended the Tri-County Mustangs high school homecoming!  The kids always keep me laughing.  :)  Enjoy the antics of the student council and meet the Homecoming queen & king!
