Photographing my cousin Alec’s senior photos was such a proud moment. Seeing him all grown up and looking so handsome made me pause for a second, it really does feel like just yesterday we were all kids together.

He was graduating in 2020 during the height of COVID, when so many of the normal celebrations were uncertain or canceled. That made it feel even more important to carve out a moment just to celebrate him and everything he had accomplished. It was a strange and unpredictable time, but he still deserved to be recognized and honored for reaching such a big milestone.

It’s been really wonderful watching Alec grow over the years and seeing all the things he’s achieved already. He’s thoughtful, hardworking, and someone who clearly has a bright future ahead of him. I know he’s going to do many great things, and I can’t wait to see where life takes him next.
