Congratulations 2026 GRADS 🎓
Big feelings were had watching these grads walk down the foreshore, I realized how many of them have been in front of my lens over the last 15 years. I can still picture little versions of them… running on the beach, exploring the forest with their families, swimming alongside my own kids, dancing, laughing, and celebrating life’s milestones.
One of the greatest gifts of being a photographer in a community like this is witnessing these stories unfold over time. Somehow, in what feels like the blink of an eye, those little faces have become graduates.
Next year it’s my own kid, along with a whole big group I’ve watched grow since babies. I’m going to be a puddle. A happy, proud, emotional puddle.
Edited to add:
I tried to snap a photo of every grad, some were a little too close together. When I complete the gallery a link will be sent to the school to share with parents/caregivers of the grads. No charge. Just happy to share with my community ❤️
