Wow. I can’t believe Brooke is already a senior in high school. Unbelievable. Brooke is my youngest cousin, which means if she’s a senior, I’m old. Yes, I just turned 25. That’s the age I used to “pretend” I was when playing house as a child. Life sure does fly by. Fast.

Anyway, Brooke has blossomed (embarrassing word, I know) into a beautiful young lady. She got ALL the height in the family. All of it. She’s so beautiful inside and out. We had a blast shooting these photos in the 150 degree weather. She was such a good sport and quite the natural. Most of these are shot around the Yacht club in Surfside, TX, where we spent lots of our childhood summers. It’s not a fancy yacht club like you’re thinking. There were people running around without shoes, yelling, and missing a few teeth. We fit right in and loved it.  Her older sister/ my other cousin, Danielle, was a great sport too and assisted me as needed.  Fun times with family.

Just for the fun of it.. here’s a nice childhood photo of Brooke. Sorry Brooke, I had to.

Check out how gorgeous she is. There is a full slide show below.
