Lakyn | Spring Fling

So I don’t often post near enough personal on here.  Seems I am so busy capturing beautiful memories for other families I fail to neglect my own.  Which really makes me sad!  Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t trade what I do for one second, but I really do need to start picking up the camera more for me and our family.  Its funny I have so many photos of family events and everyday life before I became a photographer and now its very limited.  I need to make that change.  I am sitting here feeling very melancholy and can’t help but feel very reflective on life and how quickly its passing by.  ( maybe partly due to the glass of wine I am sipping on) or maybe because I just watched my last baby dress up this evening and head out to her spring fling dance, or maybe because its mothers day tomorrow and I am remembering the beautiful lady who I called “Ma” or  maybe its because of the recent loss of my wonderful father in law or maybe even that I am about to become a grandmother in a few short weeks.  Wow!! ok after having said all that I am here with tears streaming down my face!   Life really is such a precious gift I know that is so cliche’ but its very true.  We never know when life will take a turn or when we will not have someone we love here with us.  My father in law was with us last year as the kids dressed up for their dance as was Miss Barbara Burke who was a best friend of my son Tanner.  We took lots of photos that night and am glad we have them, we looked back on them last night and I was like how does that happen, They were both here with us last year as we saw the kids off to their dance and now they are gone.  I apologize for the sappiness of this but I speak from my heart and this is what its saying right now!

So to move on a little I want to show off my exceptionally gorgeous daughter and have to say I could not be more proud of this girl!  She is such a wise 16 year old girl. Not only is she a beauty but she’s a smart little cookie too!  She can also kick some ass on the soccer field!  She is her own person and does not get caught up in what anyone else thinks!  I can’t wait to see what wild and wonderful things your going to do with  your life!  As I always say  ” Do what makes your heart sing!”  So I am realizing I may be killed when this is read by Lakyn but thats ok I will take it!  Maybe I will get a get out of jail free card since tomorrow is Mothers Day!  I love you and I am so proud to say I am the mom of three incredibly amazing children!  So heres a look at Lakyn all dolled up.  Hair and make- up by Big Sister Brittany and pics by mom and Brit.

P.S. – We need more frequent photo shoots so prepare to see the lens more!
