Abby.

Where do I start with this one? I’m not going to cry, I’m not going to cry (I’m crying).

Aside from my own three kids I’m pretty sure Abby, her brother Aiden, parents Carrie and Todd have been in front of my camera more than anyone else. I’ve been doing their family photos since 2011. I’ve known the O’Neal family since Carrie and I were pregnant with the boys in mommy and me gymnastics at flip n twist. We’ve spent countless birthday and holidays together. I have photographs of all of them as toddlers until now. Planning her session was easy, she knew where, when, and exactly what she was wearing. I only cried a little driving to her session. A few girls call me a their “second mom”, Abby is one of them.

Abby,

Happy Birthday. Gracie and I can’t wait to celebrate with you on Cape. Being your “second mom” is one of my favorite jobs. I will love and always be right here for you. We will always find our way to you and you to us. I am proud of the successful, driven, beautiful young women you have become.

Love you always,

Terri
