• NEW JERSEY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER •
Samantha turns 11 today and, I must admit, it's really hard not to get emotional.
As I reflect on the past year I am filled with pride and gratitude for all she has accomplished and experienced.
She continues to grow and mature into an amazing young lady with a strong sense of independence and asserting her own voice and opinions. And while it may at time cause some "friction" I do appreciate her knowing exactly when she wants.
That independence also translates into her excitement for starting middle school this fall!
Samantha works hard to consistently achieve top grades in her classes impressing us and her teachers.
Her dedication and love of learning is truly inspiring!
In addition to her academic achievements, Samantha has continued to explore her interests and talents outside of school. She has discovered a love for baking and has spent countless hours experimenting in the kitchen and sharing her creations with us- cupcakes, cookies and most recent- no-bake cake in a cup (yum!).
She has also started gymnastics to practice and prep before joining cheer this fall.
And then there is fashion and her love for certain brands, or her interest in skincare (it's good to start young, isn't it?).
Happy 11th Birthday, My Love!
May this year bring you endless joy, laughter and happiness that you deserve. Your dad and I are so lucky to be your parents, and we cannot wait to see all the incredible things that you will achieve in the years to come.
