Today I went to the prom for the last time. I’ve been inviting myself along for pictures for the last 5 years… and it’s always a treat to see these kids all dressed up and excited about the night’s festivities. As parents, we’ve made a lot of friends and had a good time ourselves as we’ve gathered to see the kids off. Tonight we were at the home of the Wesenberg Family. (This is one of my favorite homes, ever. Dad’s an architect… it’s magnificent.) I have done prom pictures there before so I knew how perfect the lighting and the golf course backdrop would be for these shots. We were blessed to be welcomed back.
I am always so appreciative when the kids let me in and allow me to be a part of their activities. I never take it for granted. We all laughed so much during this session, parents and kids alike… it will be a precious memory. Today was a gift.
Hey Kelli, that is a great picture of the four of you. Your hair is actually blowing in the breeze. Its been a long time since your hair was that long, looks fantastic. Love looking at all your pictures and reading your thoughts. I often wish I would have taken more family pictures and more pictures of Brent with his brother. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Julie… My hair is blowing and it looks SO SHORT! Oh well, at least it has movement.
I keep telling my kids (and everyone else) that someday, they’ll appreciate the pictures. We were in the same backyard as the photos from Sierra’s Junior Prom. At that time I took a picture of her and David Morris that is one of the best (and most memorable) photographs I’ve ever taken. There were lots of memories on Saturday… and the pictures help to keep those memories vivid.
