Parents of seniors tell me the same thing after graduation: "I wish I`d taken more photos."
Not just the big events, the everyday moments too. The messy bedroom. Late-night homework. Running out the door to practice.
Those are the ones you`ll miss the most, and they`re yours to catch, not mine.
I made a free list of the 27 photo moments worth capturing before graduation. Comment SENIOR and I`ll send it straight to your DMs.
Nobody tells you this about senior year: the photos you`ll treasure most usually aren`t the posed ones.
I made a free checklist of all 27 moments worth chasing before graduation, homework at the counter, the messy bedroom, the last game, all of it.
Comment SENIOR and I`ll send it your way.
