Things look a little different now… yet it looks so good on him and I’m still a proud football momma! First snap of his WASH U Bears career. ♥️♥️♥️ Scrimmage against Illinois College.

First day of School!

Carson is all moved into WASH U in St. Louis. We brought him down August 11th and I am finally getting this post done during this difficult transition. This has been the hardest 3-4 weeks of my life.

He is thriving and is soooo busy with football, freshman orientation, fun outings, and meeting all kinds of new people.

Football is underway with a scrimmage today and a huge win 48-0.

I’m so proud of him and I am excited for all that is to come in these next few years. I am also super sad and adjusting daily to my new chapter.

To all my college mommy friends, I see you!!!♥️♥️♥️

Fanned out a little meeting Theresa DeMaria at Schaumburg Boomers game down for the first pitch. What a sweetheart, she let me geek out and then take a photo with her.

This shoot was bittersweet as it not only included my own son, senior graduate, but it included his friends group! I’ve watched them grow up, most since they were about 5/6 years old. Love these kids. 🥰🥰🥰

Mom’s… Feeling overwhelmed with graduation day?

Here are a few pictures you need to get, save some time before and after to grab these so you don’t get mad at yourself later.

1. Pre graduation, in cap and gown, preferable in a home space where you would normally take your pictures for life events. (With cap, holding cap, holding pendant of their college, etc) Add a pic in with just mom, just dad, just grandparents and the usual family pic.

2. If possible get a shot at the school by the school sign or name.

3. Grab some impromptu shots of your child in cap and gown laughing, looking off to the side, talking to friends. Make this a tighter shot of mostly your child in the moment.

If you get a few of the above I think you will feel accomplished and not regret missing something from the day.

Put a post it in your pocket to remember.

I had so much fun doing this Senior photo shoot with their college t’s for a great friend of mine Andrea Biwer. She wanted to give this gift to her daughter and her besties. They turned out great and I couldn’t just post 2 or 3!!
