Watching your child walk across
that stage hits differently than you expect.
This past May, my daughter Emily
graduated from Colorado School of Mines, and I’m one proud mom. Mines is no
small accomplishment — it’s one of the most rigorous engineering schools in the
country, and she earned every bit of that degree.
She’s now packing up and heading
to Wyoming to begin her career, and while that’s a lot of change all at once,
she is absolutely ready for it. These photos capture her right in the middle of
that transition — accomplished, confident, and stepping into what’s next.
Grad sessions are always a joy
to shoot, and this one was extra meaningful. These are the images she’ll look
back on decades from now and remember exactly how it felt.
Congratulations, Emily. I
couldn’t be more proud.
