| Ployy PNn - Thailand Exchange Student |
I first met Ployy PNn at church. She is a Foreign Exchange student from Thailand that my friend, Nadine Carter, arranged to host till graduation. On first arrival Ployy was a little withdrawn among so many new faces, but she soon became part of the family. I laughed when I found out that Barry and Cathy Lancaster became her adopted grandparents; Nadine was her adopted mom and Nahla her adopted sister; and everyone else treated her as their own as well, from the pastors of our church down to me; I became her personal photographer at graduation, to the amusement of her friends. As you make your way through the pictures, you'll meet the other graduates of the day, hugging and congratulating each other as they say their farewells.
Although Ployy is very quiet and reserved when she comes out of her shell she knows how to enjoy herself like any teenage.

Nadine, who stresses eating healthy was aghast how quickly Ployy learned to indulge in junk foods; she loves chocolates and cheese puffs, soda and hamburgers. Like I said earlier, she's your typical teenager, not much has changed since even the fifties, milk shakes and fries are still consumed in great quantity.

But now, Ployy is back home once again with her real family. She has been a blessing to us and will not be forgotten. We're praying Ploy gets to visit us again, perhaps next time more family member will come with her. Ciao.

We used classic ballet movements and slowly introduced a few choreographed jazz stances created by the famed choreographer, Bob Fosse. We donned our version of the black derby he so famously used, with a floppy red hat, unfortunately we didn't have any white gloves.
Our photo shoot began in the shadows of the tall pine trees that landscapes the outer boundary of Central Baptist Church in Warner Robins. From there we quickly made our way over to, The Farmhouse, a popular events venue on South Houston Lake Rd. And several hours later, we ended our photo session at, Wellston Trail, as the sun lowered itself in the sky. We posed among families at the playground, we walked the trail among joggers, skateboarders, and watched basketball players who were too engrossed in their game to even notice we were there.
