The beginning of the rest of your senior's life!

We can't deny the incredible milestone that is high school graduation. Kiddos morph into adults overnight, springboard from the the safety of the nest into a life full of potential and magic. It always surprises how emotional these shoots make me. I am 20 years removed from high school, yet when I photograph these seniors, I can still taste the excitement for the wild unknown of the future that I felt back in the spring of '05. It is an honor to capture the culmination of these seniors childhoods, and the very first glimpse of their adulthoods. I'm sorry in advance if I cry just a little bit.
