For the last 8 years, I have worked at preschool while my kids attended.  My mom started the preschool at our church right after I had Austin.  In need of a job that allowed me to be home with my child everyday, I joined the staff.  That first year there I quickly became the one with the camera capturing the children as they played and learned.   Each year I would compile all the photos in a end of year slideshow for the parents to see.  It wasn't long before I started doing the portraits for the school.  The preschool was definitely a stepping stone to the path I am on today.  

     This year, I made the decision to not return to preschool in the fall.  My life is simply too full and something had to give.  I will miss the kiddos, I will miss peeking into my own kid's classrooms and meeting up with them on the playground for fun.  But I will still be around.  I will still be dropping my own kids off each morning.  I will still do pictures and slideshows and volunteer for parties and field trips.  It is going to be a good move for me…and I know that the preschool will have an incredible replacement for me!  :)  

     Tonight is the preschool graduation and end of the year program.  I think my greatest slideshow ever is debuting tonight.  :)  I am going out with a bang.  :)  I thought it seemed like a fitting day to share the preschool spring portraits.  There are all such amazing children!  :)  

To all my preschool friends, I will miss you!
