Back in October I did a give-away for teachers. I let my Facebook followers tag a teacher that they thought deserved a free photo session and tell me why they deserve it. I then drew a name and announced the winner: Shelly Ryan! Her nominator, Melanie Cromartie, stated “Shelly Ryan, she absolutely was a blessing to my son. Her love for her students is like none other.”
Shelly and I set up a date in January to take photos in downtown Thomasville. When they arrived I already knew this session was going to rock. Their family is so cute and their little girl, Remington, is just too adorable. I can’t even handle it. They decided they wanted more casual photos rather than glamorous ones and it really worked for them.
Once Remi got used to this strange lady trying to take her picture, she really let her personality out. She was so funny and was all over the place, like kids tend to be. I could’ve snapped her pictures all day. That is, if she would’ve let me.
Everyone was so cooperative and really easy to get along with. Their session just flowed so easily because they’re so photogenic. I loved being able to capture this time in their lives.
Thank you Shelly for spending your time teaching the future generations and impacting their lives. Teachers work so hard and don’t get enough credit. I hope you know you are appreciated and the love you pour into your students doesn’t go unnoticed. And to all of the other teachers out there, thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
