I'm always looking for some sort of inspirational saying.  Sometimes they find me when I'm not even looking.  I have always found it funny how someone can say something to you, whether it's a piece of advice or not, and you don't quite get it.  Then someone else can say the exact same thing and it just hits you and makes total sense. 

As a parent, and grandparent, this is witnessed repeatedly.  You tell your kids something.  They don't listen.  Someone else tells them the EXACT same thing, and BAM! it's the best piece of advice they have ever received, and even more shocking, they LISTEN!  Ohhhh the joys of parenting.

The last couple of weeks everyone has been heading back to school.  Pics are being posted of last first days, first of many first days, and everything in between.  Today I stumbled across this little gem.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."  ~Maya Angelou

We could all benefit from this.  Take a minute to talk to someone new, the new kid at school who is feeling anxious, the stranger sitting alone in the doctor's office, put a smile on your face when your out and about.  You never know what anyone else is going through and you could possibly just make that person's day all that much better.  Or it could be you.

Meet Class of 2019 Senior Model Eric!!

I have had the pleasure of knowing this family for awhile now, and the honor of photographing Eric's older brother.   When we were scheduling Eric's shoot, it turned out 3rd time was a charm!  Scheduling conflicts,  and crazy weather that poured on us 10 minutes into his shoot, even though there was NO PRECIPITATION forecasted until we got there, we were finally able to get it in.  I'm SO glad we waited!!  We had an AMAZING session!!  A moving van background, and his blue eyes made for a stunning session!  I absolutely can NOT wait to work with Eric throughout his Senior Year!!

Here are just a few of my Favs!!
