Might be on my soapbox for a minute, but I must get this off my chest. It is not too late for pictures! It is never too late!

We are rapidly approaching graduation for the Class of 2023, this I know. A lot of seniors get their photos done in the fall, this I also know. It's so understandable that some things get set aside to make time and space for things that have to happen. Some people miss senior fall photos because sports are happening - practices, games, traveling for tournaments. It's CRAZY. People skip doing senior photos over the winter because the holidays are so intense, and then the winter landscape can be so bleak for celebrating this change in life.

Spring becomes hard for portraits too in our neck of the woods. It feels like it takes forever for winter to end and things to start to turn green again. As we are coming up on the end of the season, I have had many phone calls about if we can still get their senior in. YES!! Always yes! Send announcements over the summer! Get pictures printed for the graduation party! Celebrate this time in your seniors life with something you can hang in your home and walk by! They did it! They put in the hard work and made it to the end of this incredible journey of growth, and are about to embark on the Next Big Thing. Celebrate the occasion with portraits before they change anymore, because the next few years will fly by too.

I say this because I had the pleasure of photographing this incredible man over the weekend - and his graduation is only weeks away! Resounding congratulations happened over and over from the crowd around town as we had our session. And how cool was it to have his cap and gown handy for the final set of images.

I'm heading out tomorrow for another session for someone else on the brink of graduation. So, on May 11, 2023 we are actively photographing a senior session for the class of 2023. Still time!! Or if you have a junior about to go into their senior year you can get ahead of the game with gorgeous spring photos without the crazy heat.

Also tell me in the comments if you like the smile or the serious face more on the pose with the red bench. I can't decide!
