Is there anything more precious than a newborn?  If there is, then I haven't found it yet.  Even though Lane was not too happy to have his pictures taken, he was super cuddly and adorable.  The upside to little Lane's fussiness was that I was able to get plenty pictures of baby and Momma.  Looking back at Izzy's newborn photos, whether taken professionally or just snapped by anyone, there isn't too many of just Izzy and me, so I am glad to be able to give Julie what I wish I had.   As mothers, we tend to be behind the camera too much!  It's time we get in front of the camera so that our babies remember us being there, too!   Julie and Ned are proud parents to twins Hannah and Jackson, and now with the addition of Lane, I'm sure their hands and their house are even more full of love.  Congrats to the Smiths!    Here's Lane Tipton...

The bad part about this photo session is the reminder of how old I'm getting.  I've known this young man since the days of Maloney Baloney and even before then, which doesn't say much to some, but to me, it screams of the MANY years that have gone by.  To be able to watch a child grow into an adult is remarkable, and I've had the unique opportunity to watch this guy turn into a charismatic, witty young man.  I know his mother and father are very proud of the man he is becoming.  :) I've witnessed Malone being a sneaky instigator, a prankster, a protective big brother, a supportive teammate, a resourceful student, and a leader among his peers.  Also, I didn't realize just how funny he is until I had him in my class.  Ultimately, I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to see Malone's transformation over the years, to learn who he really is and what he is capable of.  And while most other seniors are excited about getting the next phase of their lives...

Miss Kaylyn is a super sweet, quiet girl.  Or at least I thought she was quiet!  During our session, we got to know each other a little better, and I found out that Kaylyn is expressive and strong-willed.  Instead of being what some might call shy, Kaylyn is observant - an excellent quality to have!  This is a perfect example of why I love to do these sessions.  I get a glimpse of a different side of these young ladies and gentlemen, and perhaps I learn more about them in a hour session than I learn about them in an entire semester.  Funny how that happens.  I'm sure they learn plenty about me, too!   Kaylyn is co-editor of the yearbook this year and a member of my sponsored club, the National Honor Society.  As an English student, she is a terribly clever writer with a natural voice that is not always typical of a high school student.  Her maturity and intelligence make her stand out as an insightful, top-notch student. ...
