jack graduates wake forest
So today, Jack graduates from Wake Forest University. Just like everyone else on this planet who is graduating from anything this year, this is not the celebration we had in mind. We would’ve all been at Wake to celebrate but instead we are going to be watching a virtual graduation at 7pm tonight. All these changes suck (those of you who know me know I don’t do well with change. “change is bad. we fear change.”) and are very disappointing for Jack I’m sure, but he doesn’t seem to mind all that much. I think he’s more disappointed in not being able to spend the rest of his “senior” year with his friends and taking his actual in person classes. They have rescheduled real, in person graduation to October and if that doesn’t work, to next May. So we’ll just hold onto that I guess.
I tried to make it as special as I could here without going too insane.
And despite all of the changes and let downs caused by the pandemic, it can’t dull how totally proud we are of Jack! Graduating in THREE years, with honors. He’s super motivated, smart and has a bright future ahead. Love that kid!! (he let me take some pictures, reluctantly because photographers kids syndrome, but at least there will be a few to remember this craziness).

erin’s dance photos
Although I’ve known Erin’s mom since high school, this is my first time meeting and photographing her. Erin needed some photos (headshots and dance) for her college applications this year. She was poised, sweet and graceful- a great combination! Wishing her the best of luck with her college process this year!

jack & patrick graduate
I’m a very proud mom. Four years of hard work, commuting by train (and subway, and bus, and taxi), learning SO much and becoming men for others. Regis High School was an amazing experience and one I’m so glad they had. They are so different than they were when they started. Some pictures from the day yesterday.
The 6:32 crew. All the RVC guys who took the train together for 4 years.
The seniors from the Regis Baseball team.
Happy. and Happier.

jack & patrick’s prom
So even my own family has to wait for me to get around to editing their pictures! A few weeks ago Jack & Patrick had their Regis senior prom. We had a little pre-prom here for the boys & their friend Pierce and their dates and families. (the whole NYC school thing throws many wrenches into everything!) but I was happy that I could take a few pictures before they went into the city for the party. For those of you who still can’t tell, Patrick is in the bowtie and Jack is in the regular tie and vest. Both their girlfriends (Katie/Patrick Claire/Jack) looked beautiful, as did Pierce’s date Elizabeth.
Honestly, I can’t believe we’re “here”. Prom, graduation, college. Oy vey.

patrick & katie go to the prom
Patrick and his girlfriend Katie (if you’re a blog stalker, you’ll recognize Katie from her sweet 16 and a few family sessions i’ve done for them over the years. Love, love this family so much!) went to her prom a few weeks ago. They really do make a great couple, and pretty good looking if I do say so myself. So I’m a little partial. Look for part two in a few more weeks when Patrick takes Katie to his prom.
