This Mom &amp; Me graduation session was just so sweet! Capturing significant milestones and life events will always be close to my heart. I truly believe that every special occasion deserves to be documented. And this adorable session celebrated two big milestones: mom finishing grad school, and her daughter graduating from preschool. It&#8217;s so fun that they had big graduation milestones at the same time! It was definitely a great reason to have photos taken.
This beautiful spot at White Rock Lake was the perfect setting for their graduation photos. It&#8217;s the time of year when everything is green &amp; the flowers are blooming and everything has so much promise. It was perfect for celebrating milestones that signify new beginnings.
We started with some casual photos of mom &amp; daughter having fun together. There were lots of smiles and hugs. They are just so sweet together! Then they donned their caps and gowns for the rest of the session!

I love how much her personality came through! She really felt comfortable being herself in front of the camera. And I think the fun faces are just as awesome as the smiles. 🙂

We also had a third special someone join this mom &amp; me graduation session: her sweet bunny stuffy! Letting your child bring their special friends to your session, even if it&#8217;s just for  a few pictures, is always such a great way to document their childhood. You&#8217;ll look back on photos and remember the details that were so important at each phase of their life. Little arms holding tight around a special stuffed animal is just so precious.
