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!

It’s a screenshot from a video filmed Saturday night in low-light on a smart phone, but it captured a core memory for me! 💜 We used to dance a lot; well before everyone had video devices with them everywhere. 😅👵🏼 This picture is such a treasure to me-  my forever dance partner! 🥰 Thank you, @pampamtee !!!

I’ve recently realized that most of my friends force me out of my comfort zone. 😆😆😆 And while I am not the best at voicing my thoughts a lot of times, I’m so very thankful for that in my friends! 

And it is no different for this girl! 

Find you a friend who says, (meanwhile, while we are planning a trip to Utah), “Oh! But let’s extend a couple days, rent a car, leave Utah and travel to Idaho for some sight- seeing to check that state off my list! And while we are there we may as well drive on to Oregon before flying back home. And possibly Washington if we have time!” 😳🤣 And so we did! (We didn’t make it to Washington, though.)

Or a friend when returning from a girl’s trip to Hawaii with a 4 hr layover in San Francisco says, “you know… we might as well hop in an Uber and go see the Golden Gate Bridge while we wait.”And already had the Uber lined up before I could think this through. 😆😅 

I knew of April in high school, and even vacationed with her family (friends also with her SIL) one Christmas to Dollywood, and thought, “now there’s a girl who isn’t afraid to just tell it like it is. I LOVE THAT!” 🤣 No wonder our lives have connected years later! And I’m SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!

Happiest of birthdays, @april_waddell_essentials ! Have the best adventure today!!!

Y’all… I really *am* thankful for friends in my life who push me out of my comfort zone. lol! And also plan adventures!!! I do think of the fun adventures in my head, but the planning part is NOT my forte. However, my pal Allison has it down pat! 🙌 She approached me several months ago about an overnight backpacking trip with her and her kids. I was reluctant, but I also have been slightly curious how it would be, since I’ve camped many times- just not by packing everything in on foot.  So, when she said it would be for only one night, AND we would have another gal along who had done it many times, I agreed! 

Well, two days before leaving, we had to pivot. 😅 Our ‘guide’ had a family emergency, and couldn’t go with us. So, our original plan for hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway had to be switched up a little, since we both knew nothing about it. We decided to add a little safety net and backpack into a primitive site at Jones Gap State Park instead. It was WONDERFUL! We camped beside a waterfall, and had the best time! 

Our backpacks were SLAM FULL. 😆 And we survived it! We all slept in hammocks. Well… I didn’t sleep real well actually because I FROZE (40ish degrees) even though I had on a short sleeve, a long sleeve, a sweat shirt, and a jacket all while inside a sleeping bag. 🤣🤦‍♀️ I definitely learned I need a hammock liner or something. 

Regardless, I would totally do it again! 🙌💜 So thankful for nature-loving friends!!!
