There are often times during my senior sessions when I will capture a photo that makes me pause, pondering the lives in front of these wee ones.

Part child.  Part adult.  Ready to leave the nest but still in need of the security of home.

They are finishing high school and looking towards college.  Often they are worried about exams and college applications or GPAs.  But I look further down their path of life and wonder at the miracles God will perform for them.  What adventures will he take them on?  Who will they meet? 

There is so much in front of them.  

So much greatness.  

So much love.  

So much life.

I am blessed to have watched some of them find their wings and fly.  I have loved and hugged them when they hurt.  I have listened when they are finding their purpose, their gifts, their loves.  

I love what I do.  I love my seniors.  I love my brides.  The families lives who have touched mine......

I am living in my gift.  I have purpose.  I am blessed.
