Lily's best friend she never knew she had...West Palm Beach Senior | Gwyneth

It's nine o'clock. The kids are in bed (finally). The dog has been fed and is in for the night. Dinner eaten. Mini sessions finished and one last thing to do before I go off to Dreamyland.

That is share one of the sweetest seniors I've been privileged to shoot.

Gwyneth, Gwynnie, Gwyn. She is all those names and so much more.

She is all grown up and heading to College this fall. I know, I know...Most seniors get their photos done the year prior. But this angel cupcake wanted me to take them. And I couldn't get there until March of her graduating year, and so she was gonna wait until March of her graduating year!!! It as an honor and a privilege that she even ask me to take them. I accepted with gratitude and a hint of excitement. ;)

We started planning months ahead. See, Gwynnie is a planner. She likes to have everything perfect (except her bedroom floor). And so when we decided we were gonna do this, she went all out, dawg.

Being a huge, *ahem* HUGE, Lily Pulitzer fan and owning several dresses, we already pretty much knew what she was going to wear. And when she told me she had her mom had a Lily BIKE!? We knew what had to be done. It must be put in the Suburban and brought along.

We perused up and down Worth Avenue, in West Palm, pretending like we were going to buy everything as we passed. Chased light down alleys and looks for pretty florals to go with her gorgeous frocks. Found colorful, tiled steps from Pinterest. Threw pennies into fountains, and dug them back out (we po'ah). Biked along the beach. Brought confetti, forgot to use it. Ate ice cream from Sloans'.

HAD AN ABSOLUTE BLAST. She's rad. I like her. Here she is.

Gwyn, YOU are an incredibly girl. I can't wait to see how God writes the rest of your story, 'cause, it's ALREADY so beautiful.

Lacrosse love and four years of friendship...West Palm Beach Couple [Alicia + Jon]

This girl. 

This girl is beautiful, gorgeous, gloriously lovely. She's beyond-words-pretty and not just on the outside. But on the inside as well. 

Her family moved from Kentucky to South Florida when she was just eleven. I was seventeen. And though separated by six years, I felt an instant connection to her kind and mature heart. She grew up to be even more even lovelier lady than I could have dreamed.

About four years ago Alicia began casually talking to Jon about common interests. Although they'd grown up in the same church they had little to do with one another until then. He played lacrosse, she played lacrosse. He loved Jesus, she loved Jesus. He ate ice cream, she also enjoyed ice cream. Bam! Match made in Heaven ;)

In celebratory goodness, this session was inspired. We danced, and sang, and snapped (well, maybe that was just me) away the evening around the Flagler Museum and Palm Beach. They celebrate real, true blue, fun-loving, four-year-togetherness. Are NOT engaged, yet. And waiting until they finish college. Please meet this sweet couple and prepare to swoon over their cute faces.

Your story is a beautiful one, Alicia + Jon.
