My Grandmother started bringing me during summers to Sedona when I was a kid. The red rocks blew my mind back then and to me, it was the best play ground I'd ever seen. I just wanted to climb everything. Especially loved cooling off while sliding down Slick Rock in Oak Creek Canyon. But when I became a teenager, I spent my summers helping my Dad on the ranch/farm back in Texas. During my Junior and High School years, I trained horses, managed a small goat dairy (drank most of my profit, lol), team roped as a healer and hauled lots of hay. When it came time for my Senior pictures... all I got was a cheesy portrait sitting in front of a fake generic background. If I had gotten anything like the images below, I definitely would have kept them all my life with fond memory.
Bottom line... memories are important and pictures hold power within them. Capturing them is a blessing we have nowadays. My advice... don't ever take your special events for granted. Live in that very moment and enjoy it to the fullest. Then someday, your memories can inspire you to live and make even more!
Congratulations to all Seniors graduating this year. May God bless you as you pursue your dreams and may you keep Him first in all your endeavors.
