Lydia’s Senior Photos

Sometimes it seems like older people like to lament about the younger generations – “Kids these days!” or “They have no ________ (drive, responsibility, manners – whatever attribute they feel like inserting here)” or perhaps even, “There’s no hope for the future!”

Well, anyone who feels that way needs to meet Lydia, and I think they will have a much more optimistic outlook about the “kids these days.” She is kind, genuine, and willing to stand up for what she believes in. She had been helping her parents with a garage sale the day we did pictures (her dad is pretty much a master thrifter, so they often have an abundance of unique and interesting items to clear out), and personally, I consider garage sales kind of a beat down, but she showed up excited and energetic for the photos.

She is a very talented artist, and her Bible is a work of art with all her drawings and doodlings. She also plays the trumpet, and at my request, she played some for me! The music and the rolling green hills of Willowood definitely gave the evening a “Sound of Music” vibe. 😜 I think senior pictures are fun because you can incorporate things that are special and unique to the person, and just seeing the photos gives you a little peek into their life.

If you don’t know Lydia, you are missing out. 😉 She will be attending Austin College in the fall where she will have a new community of people to be a blessing to and new adventures to pursue. You are a treasure, Lydia!
