Hollis is in da house!

When you first meet Hollis, you think, "gorgeous and fashionably on point!"
{I mean the girl has the best taste and a killer wardrobe!}  But, then you get to know her and quickly you see what a total goofball she is :) {I mean that in the best way!}  Anybody would want to hang with her like all the time!  She is hilarious, smart, self deprecating, and has such a fun loving spirit!  I just love her! :)   Her gorgeous smile and laugh are infectious and you can't help but feel happy around her!

and she looks like a young Catherine Zeta Jones, don't you think?  (if you don't know who that is, google "The Mask of Zoro")  I mean they look soooo much alike!

oh, and most importantly, Hollis has decided to attend the BEST college in the SEC (I may or may not be biased), Auburn University!  I told you she was SMART!

 We had so much fun trying to outrun some dark clouds and possible rain, but we succeeded and got amazing shots!  Hollis, I can't wait to see what fun you stir up in Auburn!  {I wish I was going with you!}  WAR EAGLE!!  #WDE

 

 

 

and I saved the best for last!  Ole!

Trouble on the tracks! or was there?

It won't be long now, Abbie!  You'll be graduating from Greenbrier High School in dare I say just over 4 weeks?  OMG....Did it fly by for you?  I can remember meeting you and how adorable you were worrying about senior year and all the work you had ahead, I mean, it is serious biz, and all, but I knew you'd do fine ;).  And here you are: all your hard work is about to pay off! !  I can't wait to hear about the amazing things you're doing at school next year!  Hey, and you'll be close by so you better come see me!
Here are some of my faves from Abbie's session back in the Fall.  It was such a great day and we may or may not have gotten a visit from a Col. Co. sherrif's deputy because apparently hanging out near the railroad tracks isn't permitted unbeknownst to us!  HA!  I decided to switch it up and put the black and white's up from her session.  LOVE the feel to these images!  Congrats Abbie! and thanks for being so awesome!

 

Dear Parent of newly admitted college freshman.....

Oh how I wish I stumbled across this article before my oldest went of to college last year.  Not sure it was even written then or if I'd of taken it to heart if it was.

Looking back, this article is on point!  A must read for parents of soon to be graduates.  :)

throw back to nerf wars and this girl!

So when Sierra came over for hair and makeup, we thought it might be a good idea to park her highly recognizable suv (yellow & black) somewhere out of sight as to avoid an ambush upon leaving.  Why an ambush you ask?  Yep, nerf wars.  Most are familiar with this tradition...teams form,  battle begins and the winner gets a pretty good stash of cash!  Anyway, she had been up late with the whole nerf shenanigans and was really tired...but you can't tell it in these pics! Just Gorgeous! And we never did see the opponent!  Whew!  Congrats on Graduating in just a few weeks, Sierra!  So happy for you and can't wait to see what new Adventures await you! 

Oh, an adorable side note to the first few images:  Sierra has a thing for socks.  Yep, she collects socks from different adventures...(I guess you could call this LHS graduate a "Socksy Lady"  ;)  So, we took a few of her fave and adorned her graduating year with them.  There is even a sock with Britain's flag as a memento from her Love Unlimited Choir tour last summer!    Here's to collecting many more pairs, Sierra!
