I have been dying to show you all these pictures.  I think this is my favorite senior session so far. 

Part of that is because I love this young lady.  Her brother and my oldest son have been good friends since Kindergarten.  This whole family is amazing and I have really gotten to know Maddie over the last few years. 

She and I both LOVE photography and I have loved taking her under my wing a bit and helping her learn more.  A couple of summers ago she came with me and helped me do a family session while we were up in Fairplay for Labor Day Weekend.  Then a few weeks ago I needed an assistant at a wedding and she came along to help me out.  It was so fun to have her tag along with me and it was a huge bonus that she got some great pictures!

This girl.  I want my boys to marry a girl like this.  She is smart, cute, dedicated, knows what she wants, loves the Lord and is a total sweetheart.  Paul and Vicki, what is your parenting secret???  The fact that she wanted pictures with her bible….so cool.

It poured rain just before our session so it made for beautiful lighting and during the sunset it started lightly raining again.  So pretty!

Maddie came into the session with very specific ideas about what she wanted.  I love it!  It was fun to see all of the props that she brought and ideas that she had.  It made for a fresh and new session which is always nice.

As soon as she saw these pictures she said….these are exactly what I wanted for my senior pictures.  That makes me so happy!  Doesn’t she look like a model??

These barn photos are my favorite.  I LOVE old barns and buildings.

Maddie is the cheer captain at Dakota Ridge and I love how the pictures in her uniform turned out.  She is excited for her senior year and still trying to decide where to go for college.  She is even considering my Alma Mater, CCU (go Cougars). 

After our session we headed to Sonic for milkshakes.  Vicki knows the way to my heart!  All in all, it was a perfect evening.

Look at these beauties.  I am so lucky to have this family in my life.  They have blessed me in so many ways and I can’t wait to see our friendship grow even closer!
