This last weekend, I was lucky enough to photograph this lovely lady.

She is a senior this year.

I can't believe it.

I've known her for almost 10 years.  We lived next door to her family about 7 years ago.

And here she is...10 years later.

Again I say...I can't believe it.

This makes me nervous for my emotions with my own children.

If it has gone this fast for her...I know it will fly for my own kids.

She is a great girl.

She was a little nervous to get pictures done.  She's not one to want all of the attention on her.

But I think she did an outstanding job...and how can it be bad when you are this beautiful?

My family and I were so lucky to have them as neighbors.  I was so thrilled when I ran into her and her mom at the store and they asked me to take her senior photos, honored really.

We had a great time walking around downtown Fort Wayne...discussing graduation plans, future plans, and life.  She is going to go to school to become a professional trainer.  I hear her biceps are fantastic.  :)

I wish her the best of luck in all she does.

 

And I hope that if marriage is ever in her future...I will be able to photograph her wedding too!  :)

Congratulations, Mazie Hake!!  You handled these last 12 years like a pro!  And I will be sure to look you up in a few years so you can be my professional trainer!
