She’s a beauty in blue. Looking so grown-up, so elegant.

I loved spending time with this kind, generous and funny young lady. She’s one of my daughter’s FAVORITE sitters. Emily would have Mallory move in with us if she could!

Just like with your own kids, it’s amazing to watch other children in your life grow up. As I was clicking away during our photo shoot I kept thinking, how in the world could Mallory be graduating 8th grade? How in the world could her big sister be planning for college???!!!

We’re so fortunate to have such great friends. Friendship is one of the greatest blessings that’s given to us throughout our lives as we continue to grow with old and welcome new friends along the way.

I’m so excited for this beauty and all of the new adventures, friendships and great memories that high school brings.
