Have Camera, Will Travel |My Travel Photography Story

      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.

Comment SENIOR and I'll send it your way.
