Mollie

This is my good friend, Mollie! I have known her for years while volunteering and working at the church. Basically, I have known her since she was a kid and now she is about to graduate from high school! I still cannot wrap my head around that fact; time flies! She is going to do incredible things. I cannot wait to see who she becomes... Well... time clearly moves too quickly! Maybe I can wait a little while. ;)

I was honored when she asked me to take her senior photos! I had always wanted to. I figured it would a good way to send her off and end this chapter of her's, having been an adult volunteer and her interim youth director. I saw her grow up in a lot of ways. As she prepares to enter her next season in life, it just felt right to be there for her, just as she was there for me when I eventually left the church to begin the next journey in my own life, now over two years ago.

Mollie, I am extremely proud of you! You are almost there! I am sure I will revisit this when you graduate, but, in the meantime, I pray nothing but the best for you this upcoming year! Again, time flies, so enjoy every second of it while you can. Of course, you will have your fair share of stress and days you will want to forget! I know this is cliché, but, when you look back on it all, I promise it will be worth it. Every experience makes you who you are, and, from what I have seen so far, I could not be happier with who I see! I have no doubt that by the time you walk the stage in your cap and gown that you will be even better than you already are!

Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot. Enjoy!
