Graduation for Samantha

Sam's mother and I have been friends since 2003. I was lucky enough to visit them twice while their family lived in Germany, and now they're just down the road in San Antonio. Five-year-old Sam is now graduating from high school (how'd THAT happen??), and this afternoon we did a photo shoot for her in Rockwall, Texas. Lots of fun! Sam is off to the University of Alabama in August, and will be majoring in mechanical engineering. Here are some of my favorites.

When you're posing for your pictures, it always helps to have your mom behind you helping out!
