Congratulations to all the Aggies graduating today! Particularly this Aggie, Abby, who I`ve since she was a little girl! Scroll through to see a before and after shot 🙂

Sometimes when I shoot a kiddo with a name that has a famous song to tied to it I listen to that song on repeat while I edit, this is Caroline and I happen to *love* Sweet Caroline so I was quite pleased. Experience has taught me people either love the connection between their name and a song or they don`t enjoy being sung to when people meet them. 😆Does your name have a song? How do you feel about it?

Sometimes our work can feel predictable. In ways that`s the goal, we *want* to be able to produce an "everyone looking at the camera and smiling" photo for our clients even when it`s windy/cold/people are hungry or just 2-years-old. But the less predictable interactions are my favorite, the way you have to fake an injury to get your toddler to kiss you, the way your kindergarten kid still fits so snugly in your arms. That`s the best part <3

Hayden is perusing a degree in forensic science and so I gave him the spiel I give all genetics or criminal science students about how they should intern for Othram if possible because it`s close to us and it`s one of a few labs doing cutting edge work in DNA genealogy to solve cold cases. I`ll report back in a few years if I talked him into it ;)

I love shooting seniors because there are so many interesting people graduating and their future plans give me hope. This is Ahren, golfer, drummer and soon to be Bearcat!
