This year has been so amazing... kids that I photographed when they were in their mamma’s belly are now seniors in high school! I've been best friends with Beth, Noah's mom, for many years in fact we even went to Northland Lutheran High School together and shared a room at Bethany Lutheran College. It’s so amazing seeing Noah all grown up and confident. He is an uber intelligent being who is driven and I’m excited to see where life will take him! Noah is a cross country runner and actor with some really impressive lead roles, most recently in Newsies. We had so much fun during his session and we geeked out over the impressive Hubbard House florals. He loves summer foliage and wanted those florals as part of his session. Because Beth and Noah were family friends we also went to eat at my favorite restaurant in Mankato, Tokyo and I introduced them to our family's favorite: sweet potato rolls. Noah's response was "WHOA!" My response to this session is "WHOA"... my friends and I have seniors and it couldn't be more bittersweet than that. Noah, may the angels line the highways as you go...
