My Dear Abby

My lovely little sister graduated from high school & we took pictures to celebrate.

 

Dear Abby,

I was in third grade when you were born. I remember hoping you would share my birthday, but instead you arrived two days later. You had a flaky newborn nose & I was ecstatic to have a baby sister. We didn’t have a typical sister relationship, because I was so much older. I don’t think we ever fought & I adored you. We shared a room, watched {girly} movies & I celebrated everything you ever did. Especially when you quit sucking your thumb {haha}.

Now I barely recognize you. All grown up. Super long hair {I’m jealous}. Packing up for college soon. Watching my kids the way I took care of you.

I truly celebrate everything about who you have become.

You’ve heard dozens of sweet speeches, but I will just say one thing more.

Please visit us often, you gorgeous, gorgeous sister. รขโ„ขยฅ

    She is absolutely gorgeous!! I’m jealous of her long hair too, mine’s got the length but not the life. ๐Ÿ˜€ I love the love you two have, lots of sisters don’t have that. I’m glad to see you honor it.

    Andrea, I need to show you the video we took of when Abby first met her siblings at the hospital. Mom and I recently saw the video and it was so touching. Children are truly a “gift” from the Lord and we all have so much to be Thankful for!
    Love always………dad

    Thank you all so much, this was such a special project to me! We were definitely trying to avoid the typical “senior” look but still capture her youth… that’s why I loved the bandaid shot! Kristi, I didn’t know that, so cool! It was so cool to have such a good friendship with her & practice being a mommy ๐Ÿ˜€

    Ohmygosh this is the sweetest post!!! I love how intimately you captured her personality!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!! What a beautiful relationship you have. This post tugs at my heart!!! God bless!

  • […] She wanted some pictures to decorate for the party so she drove down here & we had a spontaneous sunset shoot. We left the house & had no idea where we were going, but I think it turned out well.You can see more pictures from her session over on my photography blog here. […]
