The Graduating Violinist :)

This is a dear family friend who just graduated from high school all the way back East! She is a gifted musician and has such a precious heart! I know whatever she sets her hand to in the future will be successful and a blessing to those around her. 

We had a great time up at Cuyamaca lake and also squeezed in a few shots down at Balboa park. 

Grad Girls

Here's a few favorites from a crew of fantastic graduates that I just ADORE! Each of these sweet girls is fabulously smart, incredibly creative, and wonderfully sweet. Their friendship spans almost their entire life and now, since one of them has moved to the other coast, their friendship spans from sea to shining sea. I was so delighted to be part of their graduation celebrations and to know them through their growing-up years! There's great plans ahead! May God's favor, grace, and joy cover every step of your journey, you precious girls <3

Senior Portraits - Balboa Park

I had a blast with this shoot! My beautiful subject happens to be a long standing friend that I have watched grow up into an amazing young woman. Her dad is a professional photographer whose work has been featured in magazines and text books. He's been an inspiration and great encouragement to me. Her mom is also a great "shooter" too - and our graduating senior herself has aspirations of studying filmography in college. Miss A. is not only creative, but she's also stinkin' brilliant, accomplished in martial arts, loves Dr. Who (me too!) and is a kick to be around! She's beautiful inside and out and I am blessed to be part of her life.

Thank you for letting me capture a little of the joy of this season and celebrate the wonderfulness of YOU! Happy senior year!!! The road ahead is paved with good things, with God's faithfulness and promise, and with adventures beyond your imaginings!
