Just a Little Fun

So, my baby sister will graduate this May. I have a "decent" camera, but by NO MEANS am I a photographer, and ever intend on trying to be one. I know NOTHING about photography other than the small "class" I went to when I bought my camera. As a matter of fact, it wasn't really a photography class, it was a FREE with camera purchase "this is how you turn your camera on and off kind of class." I took notes, of course, but since then have not even cracked open the spiral bound notebook for any help at all, its because I'm lazy. I admit it. I love taking pictures, but would NEVER ever want to go in to photography. I just don't have the imagination, nor the eye for it. That's why I have paid for every single picture that Mills has had made, and will continue doing so. The only way I can keep Mills' memories alive, other than memories themselves, is by photography. It is not cheap, but you know what, it was worth every single dollar we paid, and I don't regret any of it. Like I said, I can never get those days back.

Back to my point...Morgan, will graduate this May, and wanted me to give it a shot at her senior pictures. I have to be honest with you. I have no idea why. My thoughts...you only graduate once and I am not the one you want taking your senior pictures! And you had better have a back up plan with Phil or Emily! Ha!

EARLY yesterday morning, we gave it a go. You should have seen me. I was like...what am I supposed to be doing. I had no idea how to tell her to sit, turn her head, eyes, or position any other part of her body for that matter. We ended up having fun more than anything, and laughed most of the time.

Morgan, I cannot believe you are about to walk across that stage and get your diploma. Don't wish your years away, because before you know it, the real world hits. Bills, bills, job, and did I mention...bills? ha! Congratulations sweetheart. Only a little over a month left! These are just a small snippet of what I took of her yesterday...
