while i can’t stop staring at these numbers, what leaves me even more in awe are all the celebrations i got to be apart of this year. the conversations about postgrad dreams and freshman year horror stories. the families and best friends i got to meet. the glimpses into the life you’ve built these past four years.
it’s been an honor to be a small part of your story.
with every champagne pop, confetti cannon, and text about how overjoyed you are with your final gallery, i am truly humbled that this is the life i get to lead with you guys — a life full of colorful stoles, blooming flowers, bubbling laughter, and moments spent looking back on how far you’ve come while dreaming about all that’s ahead.
to my college grads: people will tell you there’s nothing quite like college — and they’d be right. but what they don’t talk about enough is how freeing life after can be too. you could start a business, move to hawaii, backpack asia, fall in love, go back to school, or do none of those things. you could survive heartbreak, move to nyc, expand a business, live alone for the first time, make new friends, or do all of those things.
but no matter what you do, my wish for you is that you do it with the same love for life you carried into your grad shoot. the same spirit of champagne, confetti, flowers, and laughter that you so lovingly let me (and my team!) be part of.
and to my high school grads: you have no idea all the wonder waiting for you. i can’t wait to watch you thrive
thank you for inviting me into one of the highs of your life — and by association, making mine so full of highs too.
you guys and the ability to show you how beautiful you are to others is my “why.” now go find yours 🤍
hook ’em forever and ever and ever!!!!
(& for this year: go ponies, seahawks, scots (!!!), belles, pioneers, maroons, chaps, hawks, pegasi, mustangs, rams, wildcats, warriors, knights, rangers, and cavaliers!)
