What does one say about this WONDERFUL young lady??

I have had the joy and privilege of knowing Kylie for the last 14 years, as she has grown up with my son. I've watched her blossom and grow from a shy and quiet little girl to a smart and confident young woman. She's kept her love of art, her passion for all things nature, and her ability to be silly at all the right times over the years--which are things people often grow out of. She is quiet and subdued, but you don't want to make her angry! You know what they say about redheads--well, it's all true. She is a fierce fighter to reckon with if she's angry. It just adds to her wonderful personality.
Of all the wonderful photoshoots that I've had with her over the years, her Senior Year shoots have been some of my favorites. To see the confidence she exudes, and how she carries herself is always a treat for me. Whether it was waking up at 3 am to drive to New Jersey for a *very* windy Sunrise session, or being "stuck" with the park after hoping for a castle (and meeting some rather, um, interesting models with swords--yes, that really happened), it's always been a fun adventure!

I can't wait to see what these next 4 years hold for her as she spreads her wings and heads to Grove City for college. I'm sad that she won't be in school with Riley for the first time in 14 years...and I'm sad that I won't get to see her smile and hear her quiet "Hello" every morning, or see her perform on stage, or see her beautiful artwork. But I just know she is going to do amazing things. And, while I get to watch from afar, I can't wait to see it!

Congratulations my dear Kylie!!!! I'm so incredibly proud of you, and I love you so much!
