CATEGORIES: ANYTIME, PERSONAL

for the love of kids {personal.}

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to spend almost an entire week back home! Like I’ve mentioned before, there probably isn’t anything better than going home to hang out with my family. I love them. Period. As I get older I am constantly reminded by God just how blessed I am to have the family I have. When I was younger I really didn’t enjoy being home, I’m sure my friend’s parents got tired of me always asking, “Can I please stay one more night?” haha! So like any other family we have our moments where we can’t stand each other, but at the end of the day we all know that we will always be there for each other. Now my mother on the other hand, she is ALWAYS happy. Like no joke people…I can count on ONE hand how many times I’ve seen this woman mad in my whole 21 1/2 years of living on this earth! Thats pretty amazing right?! That is why I think my mother has the perfect job for herself. A principal at an Elementary School! This woman has a love for children like never seen before! So ever since I started taking pictures she would always ask me to print 11×14 prints of all different children to hang in her office. She now loves the idea and wants more so she asked me if I would come to her school to photograph children who attend her school. Of course I said YES, well because you can’t tell this lady “No.” 🙂 So below you can see some of the beautiful children from my mom’s school. I just love looking into these children’s eyes…so innocent.

First I thought I would show a picture of my lovely mother and siblings. 🙂

These pictures are absolutely precious! They remind me so much of home. I’ll need to drop by and visit your mom and see those pictures up in her office sometime!
