Addie’s Senior Session at Sandstone Ranch

Addie, you brought your A-game to Sandstone Ranch for your senior session. Your radiant smile could have outshone the sun itself. From the moment you, Kayla, and Brooklynn arrived, I knew our time together would be brimming with joy.

Now I understand why your mother loves your laugh! It’s hearty and makes those around you feel like they’re part of an inside joke. You throw your head back in pure delight.

I’m sure you know how much your mom cherishes your cheerful attitude and willingness to spend quality time with her. It’s bittersweet watching your child grow up, so these reminders of your warm and kind spirit will only become more precious as the years go by.

Your love for soccer also stood out, especially when you donned your letterman jacket. Oh, and can we talk about your dress? The one you also wore to the Taylor Swift concert. Gorgeous! You are a mix of sporty and chic.

I hear you’re not only talented at soccer, but you’re also a whiz in the kitchen and headed off to college after you graduate. I can’t wait to hear what you accomplish, Addie.

No matter what, you’ll always have these photos to remind you of this exciting chapter in your life as a high school senior.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from your senior session for you to enjoy!

Best, Theresa
