This girl right here is my rock, my best friend, my comedian, my sounding board & encourager. This girl right here…is my sister. Please meet Kayleigh. She is my complete opposite-feisty, constantly speaking her mind, loud and crazy, and always has some funny comment to make. She is also one of the most compassionate, loving, kind-hearted and goal-oriented women I know. I am so proud to call her my little sister, even if she is taller than me. Kayleigh attended Towson University, where she got her Bachelors in Family Studies and continued on to get her Master’s in Child Life. Kay spent six very long, intense, and difficult both mentally and emotionally challenging years earning every single A from every single class she took. Yeah you read that right, graduated with straight A’s after six years. She is crazy smart but even more so crazy dedicated to learning as much as she could and being the best Child Life Specialist that she could be. So in May when she graduated with her Master’s, we decided that we needed to celebrate this momentous occasion and document her time spent at Towson. So we went and grabbed some Towson University Senior Portraits of my beautiful, awesome, best friend.

Kayleigh, I am beyond proud of the woman you have become! Congratulations little sister on not only graduating with the highest honors but also landing your dream job right out of the gate at University of Maryland Children’s Hospital! You are an incredible person who will move mountains for these kids and their family and bless the world in ways we as your family can’t even imagine right now. God is going to do amazing things for you and through you.

Love you little sister!
