A Homecoming Queen? And Senior Pictures
A cool shot of her purity ring--melt my heart.
Stone Arch Bridge/Mpls.
That's Minneapolis you see there, friends.
Of course me having to get an Instagram in there, haha.
I must say how surreal it is when your child gets their senior pics done.
It's a moment, one of the moments you think about for their whole life,
and when I think back to thinking that, that moment seemed like it just happened--
and now here she is--
and now here she is--
tears fill my eyes! It's truly been nearly 18 years, and I can not believe the woman
before me. I adore these photos and how they turned out. They are a true
reflection of who Madelynn is and who is yet still becoming.
This photo is Madelynn's favorite! I can see why.
Well this girl is up for Homecoming Queen! The crowning is tomorrow. And although Madelynn, by worlds standards is pretty, she is popular, yes. But this girl is nominated for so many more reasons than that! She has a heart of gold. The minute you meet her, you are changed. If you are so lucky enough to be riddled with her presence, you would see this girl loves people through and through, loves God, and exudes beauty and joy. She is a positive light and leader to all her peers.
You can bet I'll be rootin for her tomorrow at the pep fest, and I'll be hopin she's crowned. But if she's not, she still wears a crown in my eyes, and she is forever my princess, and forever a King's kid.
This made me tear up, Gina. I'm rejoicing with you to have a girl who you not just "love", but really "like" too. :)

ReplyDeleteshe is STUNNING!!! beautiful, obviously but i can see what you mean about having a heart of gold just from her smile and captured laughter alone.
ReplyDeleteseeing these photos (esp the one of you and the instagram fix ;) cute) makes me so happy that i will get to know the amazing relationship between a mother and a daughter... i can't wait! it's already begun and my little is only nearly 2 weeks old.

HUGS!
I loved your last sentence.
ReplyDeleteI lost my mom a few years back due to her health, but it is so sweet to see other people write/talk about their own daughters.
I somehow imagine that if my mom had a blog, or fb, or whatever, if she were still here today, she would say something similar about me.
anyway, this was beautiful, and I really liked the pictures.
;D

agggg I saw she won!!!! congrats to your girl!! you must be soooooooo proud!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos :)) Ur daughter looks like you btw :D
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so beautiful. She is such a beauty. You can be one proud and grateful Mama.
ReplyDeleteI love her dancing shots! She is seriously so photogenic and seems to lack the pesky body-consciousness that I had as a teenager (and still, admittedly have now).
ReplyDeleteoh gina these are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy dear I can tell by these pictures, she is all of that and more! These are the most amazing senior photos i have ever seen. You celebrate her with such love and adoration...no wonder she turned out so much like her mama!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of her tutu & ballet flats! I remember I used to sneak into my oldest sister's room & wear her ballet flats! So funny! But I never dance x_x
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful photos! I bet you are such a proud mama, you ought to be. You have a wonderful girl right there. Magical! ;)
Why is it when I look at these pictures, my heart just wants to burst with pride and joy and love and everything like that I can think of. The beautiful girl that you created Gina is so much more than a beautiful girl. I just can't even describe how special she is. I love you both so so so much.
