The Many Faces of Madelynn ...

Her sweet mom calls her Madelynn and most of her friends call her Maddie!  

This beautiful smile and charming personality took us all the way to Green Mountain Nature Trail  at the peak of our Fall Season here in North Alabama.

I love that Maddie brought along several outfit changes.  This location at Green Mountain allows me to capture such a variety of images.  It is a mile and half nature trail that wraps around a man made lake.  There is a covered bridge, a log cabin, and more!  Not to mention being surrounded by the natural beauty that God supplied for us!  What a beautiful day to spend with this beautiful senior and her mom! ... 

This year Maddie started her Senior year off and running.  She has her usual million Senior Class activities including being Class President!  

 Just before we spent this time together, she had received her acceptance letter to  Auburn University !  She is very excited to be starting there in the Fall of 2013.  I also understand that she has decided to pursue a career in medicine.

I am honored that she was able to take time out to allow me to capture these new memories for her...

Thank you Madelynn (Maddie) and your sweet Mom, Debbie for such a fun afternoon!  I loved spending time with the two of you on this beautiful fall afternoon.  Wishing you all the best as you finish your Senior Year and as you make plans towards Auburn!  You're such a doll! ...

~Even her Smile Dances~

Alex Anne and I have worked together before!  and I was so excited to get to take more pictures this day! ... When she changed clothes and we began this part of her session, she climbed the ladder... I was ready with my camera... and just like Alex Anne, as soon as she sat down, she immediately began to smile!  When I peeked at the image and saw what God allowed me to capture, I literally felt tears start to fall. What I saw in the lens was so touching to me, it made my heart stop.  I just knew she was going to LOVE these images!  I also chose NOT to show her any of them until after I had them edited... I made these be a surprise to her...

It was a BEAUTIFUL day during Fall Break when Alex Anne & I loaded up to head to Fayetteville, TN in order to capture the next round of her Senior memories ... You see once again God had blessed me with the perfect  location to capture her in several outfits, one which would include her history of dance.  After visiting some other locations that we were just not as pleased with, I sent an email to my sweet friend Brooke.  She was able to connect me with the perfect contact, and arrangements were set in motion to use the beautiful facilities of the Fayetteville Lincoln County Museum and Civic Center.  Heather was a dream to work with!... and others that we met that day around the property were so kind to us.  God gave us such a blessing that day!

Her friends will describe her this way:  "Beautiful Inside and Out" ... :) ... and I have used this to describe Alex Anne myself on several occasions... She is a treasure...

Thank you again to the Fayetteville Lincoln County Museum and Civic Center for being our very gracious host on that beautiful fall day!  Also thank you again Heather for all of your help in the details!  Remember this upcoming weekend in Fayetteville is the Host of Christmas Past!  There will be so much to see and do around town AND at the Museum!  Click HERE for the complete schedule of Events!   And plan on stopping by the Museum Auditorium to see the performance of "Hansel & Gretel" by the Carriage House Players ...

Alex Anne, thank you for such a sweet... sweet day!  Wishing you all the best for the remainder of your Senior year and beyond!!  Joshua 1:8-9 "Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth but meditate on it day and night, so that you will be careful to do everything written in it, Then you will be prosperous and successful.  Be strong and courageous, do not be terrified for the Lord, Your God WILL be with you wherever you go." !! ... :) ...

~Blake T - Like one of my own... ~

It's funny when we refer to another kiddo like this... "he's like one of my own..." but I really do treat Blake sort of like that! :) ...  He has been a friend of my Austin's for several years, he spends the night at our home, he has been on our vacation to Florida with us, and when he does come over to our house we have been known to order him his own "Special Pizza"!  I also expect him to help himself in and out of our refrigerator...  It is a treat to have him over and it's not like he is really a "Guest" at all... he just belongs, and I hope he feels that way too! ... :) ...  



This brings me to my next comment ... What a treat for ME to get to take Blake's Senior Pictures for him!!

Austin tagged along as well (for moral support... Blake pretty much insisted).  It also helped to keep me out of trouble!  (Austin wouldn't dare let me pose Blake in any way that he felt looked "awkward"!)  There were actually a couple of different shots that I wanted to try, that Blake completely refused!  Oh well... I will throw them in on another unsuspecting Senior!  (Only kidding... I threw the idea out completely!) ... I learned a lot from these two that will certainly keep me out of trouble with my other Senior Guys!  (and You Seniors can thank them later!!) ... :) ...

Of course I pretty much finished the Downtown part of our Session with a famous "Texting" Photo!  It's a natural picture for any our our teens! 

Blake is much more comfortable on the ball field than he is wandering around downtown letting me place him in particular "model" poses! ;) ... During the Season I always have a great time capturing action shots, so my idea was to capture them in a slightly different way.  With Austin's help behind the plate I managed some pretty neat shots! 

And we also set up a few ...



When Blake's mom,Teresa saw this picture her words were... "Ball and Glove; Blake's life..." I can't wait for Baseball Season and to be able to capture our Seniors in Action!  What a fun year it is going to be!  HaPpY BiRtHdAy today BLAKE!! and Best Wishes for a FABULOUS SENIOR year!

Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of Stopping these Senior Moments in Time for you on this particular day!   I can't wait to stop some more!!  It has been a treat to watch you grow up these past several years, you are a treasure to know and a blessing to be around!  The same goes for your sweet family!  We love you guys dearly!!
