RACHEL
This story goes so far back I'm embarassed about how old it makes me feel/look. When I first starting working at a studio, I was a wedding assistant. I assisted at a wedding that, truthfully, started a long friendship. The bride was Meg Scaggs. The flower girl was Rachel, Meg's new daughter of the heart. She was absolutely adorable. Her big brown eyes would just make you melt and then the big smile would come along and you'd be instantly in love with her.
Well. Meg is the director at Meadow Park Children's Center where I've been taking pictures of our little friends for a really long time. I got to watch Rachel grow up. When she was 8 or 9, we took a photo of her wearing my coat. It was brown with a fuzzy collar. She held the collar up near her cheeks and just looked cute as a button (to quote her mom). Fast forward to this past weekend and Miss Rachel is a high school senior. A gorgeous high school senior with not one ounce of a clue as to how pretty she is.
Rachel, Meg and I traveled all around Columbus. It was so much fun. Lots of giggling... especially when we convinced Rachel to be a bit of a rebel and wade in the fountain. It didn't take her mom long to jump in with her. One photo we took reminded her mom and I of the brown coat photo so many years ago but mostly, Rachel has grown into her own personality and a striking young woman. She clearly has her mom's big heart. She is looking into going into early childhood education just like her mom. I wish her the best of luck in everything she does. She deserves every piece of goodness that comes to her.
PS. If you need childcare, I think Meadow Park is fantastic! Aidan and Devin go there. Meg, Sandy and the teachers we have had have been so wonderful, loving, caring and kind to our kids. We are so grateful that Meadow Park has become a part of our family. I highly recommend taking your kids there!
