Melissa, 15 Years Old // Portraits
Happy Birthday, Melissa! And just like that, you’re 15 years old and a rising Junior in high school! Since we didn’t get to do birthday photos for the last 2 years, it’s pretty incredible how much you’ve grown up.
Being almost 16 years older than you, I loved being your “other Mommy” growing up. You (and Marianna) prepared me for motherhood in many ways, and I genuinely loved taking care of you and watching you grow up. And now, you get to be that to my kiddos, and all of your nieces and nephews! You’re a fantastic Aunt, and they all love you.
Some highlights from this year…
Musical Theatre: What a fun change, and you were amazing! Dancing, singing, and acting.
Soccer: Even though a lot of cancellations occurred, you still enjoyed it and are improving!
Beauty: You’ve grown in your understanding and application of makeup and hairstyles - pretty soon, you’ll be a pro!
Piano Accompaniment: You accompanied choirs on the piano, which is a huge accomplishment!
Cello Performance: You play regularly for church, and maybe one day I’ll get to play with you!
Thanks for letting me take your photos this year (since Jon babysat London and Scotland). It was fun! Happy 15th!
