As I’ve been busy capturing prom season, graduations, and all these young faces full of excitement for the future, I’ve been reminded of something… I’m not as young as I feel anymore.
I found this old wallet-sized portrait at my mom’s house today and it instantly took me back. Feels like just yesterday I stepped into one of those photo trailers parked in my school, filled with umbrellas, lights and a camera guy waiting to take my picture.
I’m grateful this photo was taken because it’s the only professional portrait I have from my teenage years.
I’m telling you all this because time moves fast. Faster than we realize. So do yourself a favor and get your portrait taken at least once every 20 years. If not by me, by any professional photographer. Make sure you leave yourself memories to look back on because one day these photos will mean everything.
Shout out to all you young grads about to cross the stage and the old ones like me… Especially Class of 2002!!!
What year did you graduate? Leave a comment & let me know.
