Graduation: Abigail and Family

I come from a family of teachers, and we take education very seriously. It's a privilege and it's something that will never go to waste.

When Abigail asked me to take photos of her to help celebrate her graduation from gradate school, I couldn't have been happier to oblige. Getting a master's degree while working full time in the school system is incredibly difficult. She deserves to be proud and I'm happy that I get to capture that pride on camera!

Her parents flew in from Michigan to see her walk across the stage so they got to be a part of the shoot too. Add in her husband, and we had a neat little group wandering around Johns Hopkins campus! 

We had a great time and even though it was one of those days that proved summer really was on its way, no one complained about the heat. I did do my best to take some photos in the shade though. No need to be hot unnecessarily! 

It was clear just how proud Abigail's family was of her, and with good reason. It was especially neat to be able to take photos at the place where she had earned her degree. She was able to tell us stories and even some of the history of it. 

Congratulations on such an achievement, Abigail!
