As I mentioned in Zeph’s earlier blog post, his sister Carissa joined us for the fun. Since Cari was one of my first seniors as “Mager Image Photography”, I gave her a heads up to dress cute, because I knew I was going to put her in front of the camera at some point. I loved this opportunity to update myself, and reflect on how far I have come in such a short time. She followed along and graciously carried my bags for me, held the flash when I needed it, threw leaves, and got leaves thrown at her, which as you’ll see below, is not an easy task! Carissa, it has been amazing watching you grow into the young woman you are today, I am proud to call you and Zeph family. <3

Now, in honor of throwback Thursday, let’s take a look at where this all started…

SERIOUSLY. But, we all have to start somewhere right? Now, onto bigger and (thankfully) better things!

I told you posing while having leaves thrown at you wasn’t easy, didn’t I?

Happy Thursday!
