I surprised my twin sister in a Minneapolis hospital when she was scheduled to give birth to her daughter, Hadley.  I witnessed my niece coming into this world in 2001 and it was one of the most memorable days of my life.  I have photographed her so many times since then, but this year was different.  I was given the honor of taking pictures of Hadley during one of the most monumental times in her life; her senior year.  

We live in different states, but I have loved making some special trips to Minneapolis to not only photograph Hadley during her last year of high school, but also to spend time with my sister and brother-in-law, as well.

I am having a really hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that Hadley is heading to College this Fall.  She has amazing creative talent, which will only blossom as she heads to Iowa State to pursue a degree in Graphic Design. The best is yet to come, sweet girl!  

I have adored and cherished capturing you, beautiful Hadley, during this time in your life and wish you nothing but great success in the years to come.  You are a beautiful soul and I love you more than you will ever know.  

Love,
Aunt Sissy
