Graduation Party

We had a wonderful high school graduation party for my son and my niece this past weekend. We held it at a beautiful park in Michigan and lots of family and friends were in attendance. Of all the photos I took – and there were many! – these pictures are my favorite!

At the end of the day, Danielle suggested that they each let their balloons go, symbolizing their farewell to high school. Of course I was there with my camera and when I looked at the photos after I downloaded them to my computer, I couldn’t believe what I saw. These pictures totally capture the true essence of their relationship – their camaraderie, their playfulness, their connectedness.

I applied a special effect to the pictures with my photo editing software and I love how they look!

They say every picture is worth a thousand words, so I will let the pictures speak for themselves…













Their futures are bright with promise! And even though they will each take separate paths, I know that they will always be a wonderful support and friend for each other along the way.
