Twenty-two years! I remember that day as if it were yesterday. Although, looking back, it still feels like high school took four decades for me to get through — well, except for algebra and the day we had to cut up frogs in biology (thank you, Bill Barry, for stealthily cutting mine for me without getting caught!), those seemed more like a lifetime.

Each decade since then seems more like one long week. :)

Best of luck to you, Kendall …

When she was 14, she enrolled in a photography class. She wore braces, prescription eyeglasses and was the only female student in a room full of teenage boys. She handled herself beautifully. I know all this because I was their instructor. Deepali never missed a class and got an A on her final exam (although she tells me she’s since lost the Holga!) :)

Now she’s wrapping up high school and coming into her own as a strikingly confident young woman.

In just a few short weeks, he’s left high school behind and long since settled in as a freshman at William & Mary.  His family misses him terribly (most especially his two younger brothers, who now enjoy having their own bedrooms since Brian moved out!) and his mother has waited graciously and patiently for the last couple of weeks for me to finish editing these images while the rest of us in Northern Virginia live through the craze of fall and bustle that the start of school brings…

Of course, I couldn’t resist a test shot of her with my 35mm Zeiss — turns out, that lens loves Annalise and I used it more extensively on her than I have on any session to date. My vote for shot-of-the-day came from the Zeiss; can you guess which one?
