Lindsey is our newest Class of 2022 Senior Ambassador. Things you should know about Lindsey: She is an amazing artist She loves pasta... and procrastinating Her favorite color is blue Her favorite song is Amaryllis by Shinedown She was given the nickname Lou Lou when she was a baby and it has stuck- She might punch you if you call her that though. Lindsey doesn't have any set plans after graduation yet (procrastinator), but definitely plans on pursuing a career in art. Check out Lou Lou's Corner on page 16 to find out what she loves about art.

PORTRAITS!
The Beach
“Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.” – Corrie Ten Boom
If I could pick one location to shoot at every day, it would be the beach. Yep, the beach is my happy place. If it is your happy place too, then the sand and waves are the perfect backdrop for your senior session! Remember, if you are shooting with me at the beachyou will get wet!
Marina
When I’m not at the beach, you can usually find me strolling the docks at one of the many marinas that we have. I am in love with the boats. When I get rich and famous (come on guys, help me out! lol) I am going to buy myself a sailboat, and hire someone who knows how to sail it. That is where you will find me every day.
Savannah Riverstreet District One of the reasons I LOOOVE this spot is that it has so many personalities. No matter what you are looking for, you can be almost guaranteed to find it here.

Forsythe Park This park boasts a gorgeous waterfall, beautiful trees, and a green field that is perfect for capturing your favorite senior images! How about a spring session at historical Forsythe park? Savannah also has a multitude of squares that would make for a gorgeous picture! If that’s not enough, have you seen the buildings around the squares? I’m sure that we could find something you love.
Ford Plantation Ford Plantation is a gated community built around Henry Ford’s home. His home is a museum, and the grounds are gorgeous. Who doesn’t want to have their pictures taken in front of a mansion, right? Email me at info.savannahseniors@gmail.com and tell me where you want to take YOUR senior portraits!

The Wildflower
CNL
Studios
Senior Shine
by: Shelly Wilson
I saw that one of God's wildflowers was wilting in the weather But Jesus gave her a drink Just when she couldn't take anymore storms She would see His hand come reach. I watched as He sat over her frame I'd see Him blow tenderly Giving her little bursts of life Ever so gently The flower, she wondered, if life could go on For nothing seemed ever the same But as a watched a hand from Heaven Was drawing a picture of rain Showers of blessing were soon coming down Singing a sweet refrain And soon the wildflower was filled with joy By the power of Christ's dear name. Shelly Wilson is a poet, singer, writer, chaser of Jesus. You can find her online at www.shellywilsonministries.com

Crock-pot meals are a great way to feed your family without much prep. Just toss it in the crock pot in the morning and dip it out at dinner time.

"Cause you're only given a little spark of madness, and if you lose that, you're nothing." -Robin Williams
Lou Lou's Corner Welcome to Lou Lou's corner! This issue, we asked Lindsey what her favorite thing about art is.
"Art to me is more than just expressing how I feel. Art is about creating worlds and finding a way to escape when I am feeling lost in my emotions. When I am at a loss for what to say, which happens a lot- art helps me to communicate. Getting lost in my art is one of the best feelings I can have. The worlds that I create are ones that I can control even when I cannot control anything else. I often find myself exploring different types of art like musical theater and story writing, but drawing is my favorite. I love to watch shapes turn into people, animals and even cities."
