Morgan | 2014 Lexington High School Senior

Seniors

6 Dec

Meet Morgan! She is a senior at Lexington High School this year and I was so priveledged to be able to work with her and her sweet family through every aspect of this session! Morgan contacted me back during the summer inquiring about my investment and not realizing until later, but we sit right in front of her and her family at church! HA My family has been back in this area of SC for a little over 3 years now and it took us a little while to settle into a church family here, so we are still getting to know some folks. BUT… I found out during the session, that my son is quite the little ham; Morgan mentioned how he “flirts” with her and her grandmother every Sunday when he’s turned around in the pew apparently. LOL!

Morgan’s grandparents own a farm in Lexington and we were able to utilize it for the session, which I’m SO glad about because, well, just look how gorgeous of a location it is!!! Morgan is also very active with the youth group at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and wanted to incorporate the church into some of her session! One of Morgan’s hobbies is actually photography, and she is VERY active on the yearbook staff at school. In fact, she designed the cover of the yearbook shown in some of the photos below! Upon graduation, she will be attending the University of South Carolina (I’ll forgive her. hehe had to throw that in!) for 2 years where she will be majoring in exercise science and after that she plans to prepare for gamsat prep in Australia where she wishes to finish her medical school.

Congratulations Morgan! I wish you all the best in the new journey that is before you!

Morgan also had a special request upon our initial coorespondence. When she was 4 or 5, she had her photos made at the farm and there was one photo in particular that her mother cherishes dearly. She sent me a snapshot of the one framed in their home and asked if we could replicate it?! I think YES!!!

And lastly, I can’t leave without telling you this story: after our time spent at the farm, we mosied over to the church. I knew we were pushing daylight, but I also knew we were just fine for a couple of setups at the church. Well… for the following setup, God showed up and showed OUT! It was PERFECT timing for Morgan. Notice the steeple. Ladies and gentlemen, there is absolutely, positively NO post-production in photoshop or whatever in ANY way; that was all God’s perfect timing for this sweet young lady and her family that have such a rich history with serving God and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church!!! Amen, and AMEN!

Anytime we vacation, you can bet fishing and/or hunting will always be interspersed. 🤪 So, it’s a good thing I enjoy just being outdoors, walking creek and river banks, and taking pictures. But there *was* one said adventure where I thought for sure I was going to end up nose-to-nose with a grizzly, mountain lion, or moose. 😅 And it was cold and raining. lol 🫠 But we made the most of it! 

We also spent some time playing on one of the nearby lakes. We all even braved the cold water! 🥶🤣

We checked out one of the waterfowl viewing areas and grabbed pizza at our favorite little roadside restaurant where the kiddos love to play pool and Pac-Man. 🤣

Our next Montana adventure was a beautiful hike! Can’t go to Montana without putting in some steps. 😁 And it’s always the best when the hike includes amazing views along the way. It’s no big deal to pass people hiking and everyone has pistols strapped to their chests. Just an observation- which I don’t mind one bit. After all, we were in grizzly/ mountain lion/ moose country.  You can see on the wilderness sign that grizzlies have clawed it and bitten chunks out of it. 😅 I learned that the huge rock fields we passed attract grizzlies, where they source a certain type of moth for nutrition. They can be heard at times, flipping boulders in search of those moths. 

We also had our little sidekick Pippa along on the adventure, too! We fell in love with that little doggo while there. 🥰 And found an awesome patch of huckleberries rambling around on the national forest. They are SO. GOOD! So very thankful for the Cole family adventuring with us!

We arrived in Montana Aug. 1 and re-connected with our friends, who were so gracious to host us while visiting. (Seriously, so blessed! 🙏) Jason met Seth back in 2005ish through work, when both couples lived in Tennessee, and hit it off instantly. We have remained friends through having families, and moving in different directions, and now our kiddos have been able to grow up knowing each other.  Couples friends are hard to find in life and we don’t take that for granted!

The first adventure was a ride on the road up the mountain behind their house. Holy moly what a view, right in their backyard, basically! 😱

Our family is 21 years old today! 8/14/04 Thank you, Lord, for leading us to each other all those years ago as high school students. 🥹💜

We also recently finished a series of videos that I wish we would have had as newlyweds, so I want to share them with you today. So incredibly important as you walk through life in a marriage, because it’s downright HARD at times, but 100% worth it! 🙏

God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light… 
If creation still obeys you, so will I!

We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!!! I have saved a highlight if you haven’t been following along in my stories. 💜 We had the most wonderful time as always visiting the best of friends and the wilds of a land that has forever captured our hearts! (For those new around here, we had the pleasure of living in Montana twice now- 2017 and 2019- for 4 months each time.) I have about 3k photos to sort through, between 3 different cameras (😆), so be prepared for a photo dump. We made it home last night at 2am, then dove right back into our first day of school (and homeschool community day) at 8:30am this morning. 😮‍💨The jet lag is real.
