5th grade graduation party
A few pictures from a very fun night. Timmy and all his classmates at a great graduation party put together by two awesome mom’s (Sharon & Kelly). A red carpet/hollywood theme. And because it was done by two total perfectionists and their team of help, they even covered the walls that are salmon pink because they didn’t match the theme. Love those crazy girls!! The kids all had fun, and of course Timmy and his friends decided to dance and participate AFTER I left with the camera.
Attn 5th grade parents: the link to the gallery with the party and a few graduation photos will go out to you early next week.
Most of the 2016 Hewitt graduating 5th grade.
Best friends since nursery school. Just wait till you see the pictures next week from graduation.
It was a tough crowd, we needed bouncers.
Sums up their friendship in one picture.

jack & patrick graduate 8th grade
Well, they sorta did. Last week was all of the middle school graduation activities. First was awards night where some of the 8th graders received different awards for both character and academics. The boys both won an excellence in Spanish award (which is really rather ironic as Jack will be taking German next year, and Patrick Mandarin Chinese). As it turns out, that was pretty much their last event of graduation week. Thursday Jack went to the graduation party/dance as I took Patrick to an after hours doctor to be diagnosed with pink eye. In both eyes. So needless to say, he wasn’t going to the dance. The next day was graduation and earlier that morning Jack started with a raging stomach virus. So instead of infecting the whole school, they missed graduation. Which was a big bummer (at least to me) and a big disappointment that their names weren’t even announced at the ceremony (even though I did call that morning to let them know the boys were sick and wouldn’t be able to attend the ceremony). I picked up their diplomas yesterday and letting the whole event go. Moving on to high school next year and sooooo excited for them and all their new adventures.
And I think they grew again overnight. Pictures from awards night.
Patrick.
Jack.
Their friends (and Royals teammates) Johnny & Anthony both won citizenship awards. Great job by great boys!

the fole family
This shoot was an almost senior session. Ryan is actually a senior who just graduated from Chaminade High School (congrats Ryan!) so this was a family session to celebrate his graduation and to have a few family photos for when Ryan leaves for college at the end of the summer. His tuxedo (so handsome!) is his graduation attire, so mom wanted to be sure we captured this special moment for their family.
Felt like we were old friends by the time we were done with the session. Love that!
Something so Rat Pack about the photo on the right.
Ryan will be heading off to St. Joseph’s University in Philly. Best of luck to you, Ryan!

adam’s graduation
Known this guy since he turned one. Seventeen years later, this is what happens…
Yeah, I still can’t believe it either. Everyone (including Aunt Beth) is so proud of you Adam! Can’t wait to hear all about your amazing adventures in South America this coming year.Adam will be going to Peru, Costa Rica and Uruguay with the WAVES program, where he will be doing all kinds of amazing things. Working with families (especially children) at the poverty level, teaching english, teaching surfing, coordinating activities, & working with the kids there on environmentally friendly projects. And my personal favorite: working with endangered sea turtles (rehabilitation, rescues, and community/tourist education). He’ll be away on this adventure from October- February. Can’t wait to see pictures!!!
The whole family. Who I love.
Geez, handsome much?
Heidi’s side of the family…
…and Joe’s side of the family. 
These two are so close, I think I’m going to have to do a lot of distracting to help Heidi make it thru Adam’s leaving.
My pretty girls. Ok, Rachel? Did I do alright??
And a few goofy shots. Aunt Heidi torturing the boys. This is what usually happens when they are together.
Patrick is Joe’s godson. Soon after this was taken, he picked Patrick up and threw him in the pond (well, not in exactly. Just hung him upside down over it for a while).
These two have a real love/hate relationship. He loves her, she hates (ok, barely tolerates) him. But she thought she looked really good in the last picture I took of them together, so now she always wants one with Johnny B. 
His other mother.
Delicious curls I couldn’t pass up. 
Beauties. 
Don’t know if its his expression, or the angle or what, but I see the little Adam in this one. 
Awww….they’re all gonna miss him.
A lot!
Love you guys!Adam’s prom pictures coming soon, stay tuned for those.
