Three beautiful young ladies are part of this one loving family who decided to spend a fall afternoon preserving their moments through photographs.
The day was chilly, but spectacular.
I recall worrying about the weather, but when the time arrived, there was a spectacular amount of golden sun the shine through autumn leaves.
These girls are so polite, smart and completely wonderful.
There were a few breaks from the hard work of camera time for some laughter and fun.
I have to wonder if the sun follows them. They seemed to bring it out of the sky with their smiles and the light in their eyes.
Thank you for the time spent wandering the park and smiling for my lenses. It is an honor to watch your young people growing up over the years. Please find the rest of your online gallery here.
Graduating from college means you have made the long, sometimes strenuous, climb from the very bottom of a mountain of knowledge and experience to the peak with a horizon of possibilities stretching out before you.
There were probably some falling boulders along the way. Some rough patches that seemed almost impassable.
There might have been days or even weeks during the climb through the education path that seemed impossible and caused you to search for another way up.
Maybe some days you felt like you were climbing sideways or even headed back down the mountain, rather than up.
Some days the sun didn’t shine as much, but so many other days your sky was illuminated with golden rays of hope.
The journey to the top of the educational mountain was sometimes fierce and often steep. However, the gains you earned along the way are tremendous.
You have skills.
You have knowledge.
You have a team of newfound friends who will grow with you throughout your professional life – wherever it takes you.
Now that you are at the top of that mountain of knowledge-seeking, what do you see?
I hope you see possibility.
I hope you see a dream coming true.
I am sure you see a world in front of you and many paths to follow.
Congratulations to you, Hayley, on your graduation from Western Michigan University!
May you find a path now that is smooth and filled with everything you have worked so hard for. Now that you have finished this chapter, I hope your career story starts with every promise you have strived for.
Please find the rest of your photos here and congratulations to you! The world will be in much better hands with your knowledge and experience in the medical field.
This photo session was special! It was almost postponed for another evening due to weather, but the rain made the earthly colors pop.
Then, the most amazing light came through the clouds, making the evening perfect, just like this soon-to-be-a-graduate.
We wandered through the trees.
And into the woods.
Finding the most beautiful places to accent her sun-filled smile.
Thank you for taking a wonderful walk in the golden autumn sunlight. I hope your senior year is as amazing as you are. Please find the rest of your album here.
There is no doubt this senior is going to make the most of her final year in high school.
She’s already shown she can stand tall throughout these days.
She’s got a winning smile and eyes that sparkle with promise.
Taking her photos on this beautiful sun-drenched day, she wore her carefree personality.
She was both fun and fantastic!
Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon! May your journeys take you far and congratulations to you on your upcoming graduation. Please find the rest of your album here.
A woodland paradise was chosen to be the location for this beautiful young person. She was hoping for the golden colors of fall, sunshine, and nature for her photos.
The afternoon turned out absolutely perfect. It was one of the last days of sun and fall leaves for the autumn season, brilliantly timed and the perfect backdrop.
She even had a curious visitor stop by.
It was an incredible afternoon for an equally wonderful person.
I am so fortunate to be able to see our young people grow into amazing souls and to also share their smiles from my camera lens. This particular young lady is kind, intelligent and beautiful.
I know she is going to do amazing things as her career path forms and her future horizons are growing nearer.
She asked for woodlands and fields for her photos and this fits her connection with nature, animals, and plants.
Have a wonderful senior year! Please find the rest of your photos here.
