I thought I’d add a couple shots from my sister’s highschool graduation which I came back to Kansas City for last weekend (and to shoot Eric & Anna’s e-session). She was a trooper, even though carting the whole family around is always an interesting thing. Especially when you have a 4 (?) car caravan that can’t seem to stick together on the way out there.
It was REALLY nice to see my whole family. We had a few good ‘ole Schmidt barbeques which are always fun, and got a chance to go see a HD movie in my uncles “movie theatre” in his basement (pretty cool, hope I can have something like that someday!)
Here she is walking across to get her “diploma” (they give them fake ones on stage…)

And then, the moment everyone had been waiting for… Graduation!! Of course, McKaela, being more a rebel than Garret (my brother) or I chucked her hat right away. 
…hugging her best(est) friend Katy 
We headed outside to grab a few shots of the new graduate. She complained at first, but she was totally into it



I handed the camera over to Garret and he snapped a pic of Kaela and I.
I know this is graduation season, so I’d love to hear other people’s grad stories. Hope you had a great Memorial Day and weekend.
