Serena’s Senior Portraits

Serena is my dear sweet 16 little cousin.  She has a thing for Elvis Presley and her family. She sings like an angel.  Oh, how the years go by.  I was 11 years old when she was born.  Right around that time, my dad, mom, sister, her boy friend, my best friend, and I  took a road trip to New York in the motor home you see behind her. I remember singing “Bye, Bye Miss American Pie” at that top of our lungs as we crossed the Holland bridge.  You may recognize this Texas ranch from other sessions.  I grew up on it.  Family and memories, indeed they’re the sweet nectar of life.  Love you, Serena.
