I have always believed that people come into our lives at the right time and for the right reasons. Ashley is one of those people. Saras I’ve heard it said, that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn… This line from the musical Wicked plays over and over in my...

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.

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.

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.
