Congratulations Class of 2019!

This year I have had the pleasure of documenting some of the most interesting, kind and accomplished young people as they get ready to leave home, graduate from high school and start their new lives.

Many of these kids I have known and been photographing since they were babies. One of these is my own son, my youngest, so it has been a bittersweet year. I am so excited for him and for all of these great kids and yet, I can't believe that this part of my life is coming to a close.

To all the parents who have young children, although it may seem that your lives are so crazy busy and you are consumed with the day to day burdens that raising children requires, please take time to stop and enjoy your kids and revel in the everyday chaos and madness because it will be over in the blink of an eye. 

And here they are, the Class of 2019, wonderful young men and ladies I had the pleasure of photographing this pivotal year in their (and their parents') lives.  I wish you all the best!

Congratulations Class of 2017!

Another school year has ended and another class of young people have graduated and will go out into the world to learn about themselves and discover their purpose.  Congratulations to these young men and women from the Class of 2017!  What a special group of young people you are.  I feel privileged to have been able to document this pivotal stage and can't wait to see all they great things you do in your lives.  The world belongs to you!
