Kayla's Senior Session

This Gorgeous young lady sat down on the cobble stone

with her amazing smile that reaches right down to the heart,

her spunk and her personality lit up like a light bulb. 

I had to stop for a minute and recompose

my thoughts of a little girl born shortly after my son.

Memories of her running around at her grandma's house with pigtails, 

to playing in the garden

with grandpa and not wanting to get dirty.

To this absolute beautiful young lady that I can't believe I am looking at.

The quote popped into my head...

"Let me Love you a little more before you are not little anymore"

and I realized they are not little anymore. 

She is a senior and life as she knows it is just starting.

I do know that she will go far with her determination and her love for family and life.

Never lose that spunk!!

We started our shoot off at Ogden Garden in Valparaiso

and

finished this very windy

and cold day in Downtown Valpo.

Enjoy a small preview of this wonderful young lady that I call my niece.

I love you Kayla Belle Mahaffey!!

The future belongs to those who

believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Dream big!

You need to ask Kayla about this picture

because

it will be a memory that we will always laugh over!!

Sometimes

you will never know the value of a moment

until it becomes a memory.

declares the Lord,

"Plans to Prosper you and not to harm you,

Plans to give you Hope and a Future."
