Gus is graduating!!🎓🎉

I first photographed this sweet crew a while back, and now I’ve had the honor of capturing another special season for them. Every session with them has been a joy, filled with laughter and genuine moments that reflect their unique bond. It’s incredible to see how families grow and change over time, and it brings me immense joy to be a part of their journey as they create lasting memories together.

Watching families evolve and, despite the passing years, come back to trust me with their memories never gets old! Each visit adds a new layer to our connection, and I cherish the opportunity to document their lives through my lens.

Cool fact: all 3 of these guys row! They were right in their element when we ventured to the Oak Ridge Rowing Association to finish up our session!
