Graduation!!!!

It is that time of year..you know the one that is simply bitter sweet for us mommas!?  Whether it is our toddlers graduating into kindergarten (full days away from us -- heartbreaking) or our pre-teens entering high school (let the "your not so cool anymore" phase begin) or our Seniors entering into college ( the "my baby is all grown"..."Hi husband, haven't had you to myself in 18 years, lets go TRAVEL- woo hoo" phase).

Whatever category fits your life right now, it is inevitable, it is a changing moment  for both your son /daughter and you. The life long process of learning to loosen the leash just a tad bit more, only to long so desperately to go back to the days of snuggling them up in their onesies and hearing their soft coo's...Apparently that's why my husband and I have the kiddo thing down to a science, the olders keep graduating high school and we keep making more babies :) All in all, the accomplishments, the maturity and the ability to adapt even in the newest of surroundings, that children do so effortlessly (for the most party), just never ceases to amaze me!

Congratulations to all of you who are Class of 2012!!!!

In honor of this months many Graduation celebrations...Here are some photos from my Latest Graduation Photo Shoot. Are these two just stunning?! I'm here to tell you, their personalities are just as beautiful!!!!

GOHS Prom 2012

 (*sigh) Prom..... The one event in our teen years that will be embedded in most minds for the remainder of our years. It's a night of celebration, a last formal and fun filled high school experience with peers and friends.

As one gets older, looking back upon prom, it seems to signify more and more the final days of "teen-hood" the final excuses to act like a teen, be silly and truthfully no real cares, except of course finishing senior projects, pulling the grades and Grad night ;)

But all in all, its a remembrance and reminder that this journey lived for four years from adolescence into adulthood has been a fun and ever-changing ride leading us all into the next chapter... adulthood. Congratulations to the Class of 2012 ! May your next four years be the most amazing yet!

Here are sneak peeks from one of my Photo Shoots this past weekend as these beautiful young women and men get ready to celebrate Prom....
