Sarah | Carlisle Senior

September 18, 2017  /  Susie Herwig

Sarah's not only one of my 2018 seniors, but a senior in my youth group. She was actually a freshmen when I first started leading, so she's been with me from the beginning. She's a light wherever she goes & has a joy in the Lord that makes you want to know Him more. Oh, and I got serenaded by Sarah during this shoot and if you've heard her sing, you know it was unreal.

Seniors, you already know my love for you runs deep. I’m in the process of creating a brand new experience for ya, but I wanna hear from you! What would you love to help celebrate this season of life — more print options, hair & makeup for your session, wardrobe guides or even access to a wardrobe?! I’m here to listen! DM me your thoughts 💭 I have a 5 year journal that I write in every day (okay, this is the first year I’m actually consistent with it if I’m honest.) On today’s date last year we were driving down to Charleston with some friends. We drove through the night & got Cook Out at midnight, cause why not. The next day we slept in, went for a bike ride to the beach, and explored all the places covered in Spanish moss. Such a contrast from this year. We were up all night too this year, but this time with a sick kiddo. Comparing my life pre & post Judah is one of the hardest things for me about being a mom. I first saw it as a lack of freedom — that I can’t do what I want when I want (😳 embarrassed to even type that). But over the past 10 months the Lord’s been renewing that mindset. He’s teaching me that the slow, quiet rhythms of life are some of the most sacred. That dying to my desire to do things on my own time, get the amount of sleep I want, & do what I want makes me need Him more than I ever knew I did. He’s showing me so sweetly that taking care of another little human is making me more holy, more like Him. Even on the sleepless nights, the nights when you stinkin have to suck snot out of his nose with that disgusting nose frida thing 🤢 — holy. Escaped to the city for a quick 24 hours with Luke cause when Mulany, Gaffigan, & Birbiglia are all in one show, you go. We ate dinner at 10:30pm, slept in (like 7AM!), & remembered what life was before a babe. Then we sped home to squeeze our little chunk. Life’s better, harder, fuller as 3. My sweet husband and I are doing a quick getaway to Brooklyn, NY this week (DUMBOish area) and we need your help! What should we see/eat/do/all the things! Tell us, tell us! PC: My girl @briannawilburphoto I remember buying this sweater for you before I even knew you were on the way & now it fits you. So excited that I bought myself a matching hat. It’s a toss up who’s more nervous during a proposal. Me or the dude (kidding, I know it’s him). But my heart starts beating faster & I get the nervous sweats 😅. Every dang time. And all I keep thinking is I GET TO BE THE ONE WITH A FRONT ROW SEAT TO THIS. Humbled. Nic + Jack, member when you are in my parents backyard sweating in 105 degrees takin pics? This time around it was like, 45 & ya had a ring on that finger. Thankful to walk with you and your family through truly some of the most sacred times over the years.
