It’s been a long break since my last post on the blog. Not only have we had a very busy senior portrait season, but we’ve also had our very own special celebration this graduation season with our very own high school graduation…miss Tori is a GRADUATE! It’s been a very emotional roller-coaster for me, with so much happiness for her and so many emotions to deal with as a mom watching my first-born baby grow up, spread wings and fly.

I can’t even tell you how proud I am of this young woman. She set out to accomplish the best she could be in her high school years, with no “pressure” or “expectations” from us as parents other than to do her very best and be happy with that, all the while having fun and enjoying every minute of her youth. She worked hard as her senior class president and achieved over a 4.0 gpa, in addition to winning a $60,000 scholarship! Yes, she’s a hard worker and has a beautiful, loving heart.

Here are a few images captured during her graduation celebration weekend which included a Consecration Ceremony, a Baccalaureatte Service and of course Commencement. So, so very happy for our beautiful Tori.

So happy to have the entire summer with her…and then…off to college she goes to study for her nursing degree. Spread wings and fly, sweet Tori! xoxoxo

Below is the video of the creation of her OFFICIAL SENIOR PORTRAITS…a fun weekend with mom as photographer, dad/lighting and brother Jordan/video clips.
