I am not going to lie, my job is really hard.  This Sweet Sixteen party really proves that.  I mean think about it:

- I have to photograph young women who are as respectful and kind and friendly as they are incredibly beautiful.

- I have to photograph these women, half of whom I loved when they were students at my school, so I have to suffer through watching them develop into the amazing young women you see today.

- I have clients who are willing to make an adorable backdrop for the photobooth they want to pose in front of.

- I have to work within luxurious locations such as The Laurel Creek Country Club.  

- I am forced to feed my children fudge-dipped Oreos and cookies after the generous guest of honor cared enough to make me a special party favor.  And of course, by "my children", I am referring to me, in my car, in the parking lot, housing that whole box.  

Well, I saved them at least one each.  

It's just such a burden.  

I know, I stink at sarcasm, don't I?  Really, it was such a joy to see this young woman whom is so fondly remembered for her epic cupcakes be feted upon by all her closest friends. She is as wonderful as she is talented and as beautiful as she is kind and I will have to keep an eye out for her. She is surely destined for greatness.
