A Beautiful Belle from the Class of 2015 | Abbotsford Graduation Photographer

It is that time of the year again... when excited teenagers ditch the jeans in favour of slick-looking suits and bedazzled gowns, finished with small flowery adornments...   to celebrate the end of a 13-year era in their lives, and the beginning of a journey into the big, scary world of adulthood! For thousands of teens across BC, it is the time of High School Graduation!

Last week, I had the pleasure of joining this beautiful young lady, and her lovely (and very photogenic) family, for a few formal photographs, before she was whisked away to party. Gardner Park in Abbotsford was our fabulous backdrop, and there were excited teens and proud families everywhere (And I do mean everywhere... you literally couldn't throw a stick without hitting a sequin!) Normally a peaceful park, it was a bustling hive of activity - hugging, chatting, comparing outfits, trying to work out how to pin on buttonholes, and lots of posing for photos, of course.  Congratulations Emma and the Class of 2015!

A little warning for all my newborn parents... cherish every moment of your little people being little, because before you know it, they grow up and turn into stunning young people like this gorgeous Grad and head off into the world! Here is just a little taster of my recent session with the beautiful Sarah as she celebrates a well-deserved graduation - congratulations, Sarah!
