The "R" Word

  • Wedding Wednesday

Girls look forward to this all throughout high school. I remember going for my senior portraits and taking like 6 outfits that I had been preparing for MONTHS. (I took senior pics VERY seriously)  The sad thing is, I look back at my senior portraits and they don’t show ME at all.
