Congratulations to all of the Class of 2021 Graduates!! What a crazy time for the class of 2021's graduating class. Most of these students spent the end of their junior year and the majority, if not all, of their senior year, off-campus doing virtual learning. I can't imagine the feeling of realizing that the last 1.5 years of your undergraduate experience will be completely different from the first 2 years. It takes time to adapt to college after spending the first 18 years of your life at home, and then once students finally adapted to the college experience, it all changed again. The class of 2020 and 2021 are resilient! They have learned to adapt to change in an instance, and have made the best of it.

Last week I photographed Kailey, an NC State Class of 2021 Graduate. Kailey's Cap and Gown session was my first NCSU grad sesh, and my first time experiencing campus on foot. Kailey led the way throughout her session, taking me to all of the iconic places around campus. NC State stole my heart during the session! If only I could convince my 16-year-old brother to apply there instead of staying in Michigan👀

Kailey is graduating with her bachelor's degree this coming weekend. She majored in Communications and minored in Psychology. She is going to stay in the Raleigh area after she graduates. Congrats Kailey!! She was the first of a few NC State Cap & Gown Sessions that I have this year. It was great working with her!! Below are some of my favorite photos from her session. 😊
