Katie's Senior Pics

I have known Katie since she was in her momma's belly. We haven't always kept in touch, but she has grown into a beautiful, fun-loving young woman who happens to have Down's Syndrome. She has not let her extra chromosome keep her from doing the things she loves to do. If you ever get to spend time with her, she will have you laughing or singing country music or both. I know it was hard for her parents to raise a child with Down Syndrome, but it's even harder when you're teenagers. I have so much respect for her parents than they even know. Not everyone can deal with or take care of the issues that arise when you have a child with a disability, but they have. Against all the odds, they have raised her and now she is a senior in high school. Katie has reached and exceeded many obstacles that were set before her. She could only achieve those things with the love and support of her family. I'm glad, no I'm honored they asked me to document this special time in Katie's life and I hope you can get a little glimpse into the wonderful young woman she has grown up to be.

Where has the time gone?

It seemed like just yesterday I started teaching and this young man was a little bitty boy. He was 3 then. Now he is an 18 years old senior. Time sure does fly by! I'm so proud of him and the path he's going. Glad I was able to get back in touch with him and his family. I loved them dearly!

Senior 2010 part 2

I took "S" to Centennial Park for part two of her senior pictures. I'm glad we did! It was a little warm, but the lighting was great. I ended up with a lot of great pictures. For once, I was totally excited with the pictures we took.

Senior 2010

Today I took pictures of my friend's daughter, "S." I remember when I first met her and she was a sweet 4th grader. I can't believe she'll be a senior in the fall. She has accomplished so much in her few years in high school. "S" is such a beautiful, sweet girl! My advice to you is to have fun your senior year...it only happens once! I enjoyed taking your pictures. Thank you!
