Trust me, I’m not exaggerating when I say that graduation season is my favorite. I absolutely LOVE connecting with this age group, and getting to know them as we take their photos! I understand what an exciting time this is in their lives, and I truly value the time I spend capturing this moment in time.
Thanks to my years of figure skating involvement, I’ve been able to stay in touch with different skating teams around the country. Last month, I was thrilled by the opportunity to travel to Ann Arbor and take senior photos for the University of Michigan Synchronized Skating Team!

After all, the only thing more beautiful than snow-covered mountains is looking at those gorgeous peaks from somewhere warm and cozy.
