People should do this more often! Lindsey is graduating from Lindenwood University in December (education major!), so we took some senior pictures! College senior pictures are a great idea! It was really neat getting to take graduation pictures with Lindsey. We got to take some cap and gown pictures (with a champagne celebration!) and we got pictures with Lindsey's rings ... not just any rings, but the rings she got from earning back-to-back national jazz championships with the Lionettes dance team!

For the last two years (in 2016 and 2017), we have been honored to spend the day with Melissa, Spencer and Hudson. This year, we got to spend time with them again and got to meet the newest member of their family, Adalynd, who was just about to be born the last time we saw them! It was great catching up with them and seeing how much Hudson has changed. (He even claims to remember me! How neat is that?!) It has been a pleasure getting to see the Whitehead family grow!

The ball weighs upwards of six or more pounds and the winner is determined by how far the hammer is thrown. (As I was reading about the hammer throw, I also found out that the women's hammer throw was first included in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney!) Her big brother also competes in the hammer throw (at Mizzou), and her dad
Emily is a senior at Timberland High School. She plays doubles tennis and is going to college for nursing. I have known Emily since she she was in elementary school. I think this has been the first time in my life I've had that moment of disbelief of how quickly kids grow up! When I found out she had her driver's license, I just couldn't believe it. And now that she's a senior, I'm in complete shock. But it was a total honor to get to spend an afternoon with her to take these pictures. This might be my favorite from the whole session! While I don't normally subscribe to the J.J. Abrams style (lens flare), this picture of the left makes me happy because of Emily's smile. She has such a wonder
