Here is an old photo of me and my niece, Madisen. Look how little and adorable she is. 😍 Madisen was my parents’ first grandbaby…the first daughter of my brother Daniel and my sister-in-law Heather. So…it was a pretty big deal when she was born. There was quite a large group of people who came to the hospital to welcome her into the world.
I loved being an aunt…and I totally loved taking pictures of Madisen as a kid. It was actually one particular photo I took of her looking out a window that made me really start loving portrait photography. My skill-level was pretty much non-existent at the time, of course. I thought my blurry photos looked ‘artsy’. When I look at them now, however, I see that they were just BLURRY…not the least bit ‘artsy’. It make me chuckle when I think about it now.
Fast forward 17 years….to now. Madisen is now a senior in Plainfield and will start college in the fall. She is lovely and we’re all so proud of the wonderful young lady she has become.
I was honored to take her senior photos this past weekend. Both her mom and I kept commenting that we couldn’t believe that Madisen is a senior already. Where in the world does the time go?!? It’s crazy.
Anyway, look at her now!!
