~saturday with amber~

this past saturday, i took my nieces senior pictures! it was a whirlwind of a weekend, starting off with a snow storm of sorts, a great birthday dinner, {i'm now 34, and LOVING it!}, my niece coming over saturday morning to have me give her a mini-makeover for her pictures, then her and i ventured out in the snow, all around town taking some really fun pics! i haven't gone through all of them yet {there's a LOT}, and i've had to split my time between her pictures and the wedding that i just shot on sunday. anyway, as i was shooting amber, i kept thinking how it was just yesterday that she was 6 years old and in my wedding... *sniff, sniff* unbelievable now, that she's graduating, has a boyfriend and is excited for college. we spent the entire day taking pictures, it was a blast! she is incredibly photogenic, and she's up for any of my hairbrained ideas... ;) we went out for a late lunch, where she was explaining her thoughts on what college she wants to go to and why {she's already been accepted into the major colleges here, but she's waiting on another} and i started seeing her as not a kid anymore. kinda sad, but~ she'll always be my amber bamber! ;) love you amber!
