Graduation Story...

Every person has a story. The chapters eventually build to climax, yet the climax could not exist without the prior history. As I photographed my cousin for her graduation, I saw beyond the moment, and back through the previous chapters that led to this celebration. I remembered the chapters filled with endless hours of tree climbing, imagining and playing. There were lots of sleepovers, secrets and silliness. As we have grown up together my cousin has been more like my sister and I couldn't have a greater blessing. Here are a few of my favorite pictures staring my beautiful cousin.
