Sonja: Graduation Portraits

Last week, I had the pleasure of taking Sonja's graduation photographs. I had not seen her since she left the APU campus back in December. She flew down from Monterey to have her hair and pictures done for her announcements. I worked with Sonja in the UG Registrar's Office for a few years and I could look out my office and she her bright smile! I am so excited that she will be coming back in May to participate in the commencement ceremony with her friends. Sonja, I am so proud of you and wish you the best, all the years to come.

Bonnie & Brianne: Graduation Portraits

This past weekend, David and I did a graduation photo session or "G" Session for college roommates, Brianne "Bri" and Bonnie. I first met them a while back when I still worked in the Registrar's Office at Azusa Pacific University. I loved it when they were working in the office because they kept life exciting and always served the students who came in with a smile. They are so fun loving that you can't help but enjoy hanging out with them. David and I had a blast taking their pictures and have a lot for you to see as there are three different slideshows.

Haera's Graduation Photo Session

On Sunday, both David and I took Haera's photographs for her Graduation Announcements. It was so wonderful to have David shoot with me yesterday, because he is off in the distance and is able to catch a totally different perspective. Anyone and everyone who knows Haera knows that she is so fun to be around. I am sure that many of you have at least one Armenian friend who is so generous beyond belief and they are just a complete joy. This is Heara. We had a blast taking her pictures and if we would have had more time, we probably could have burned through all of our cards. I loved how she came prepared with her list of where she wanted us to take her pictures, and you have to love how she wanted to have her photo taken with our beloved Cornelius P. Haggard, Th.D. in every outfit. Oh H-A-E-R-A! You are a joy to be around and I am so proud of you for graduating this May. I cannot wait to hear what you will do next in your life. God is going to do some amazing things for you in the years to come. Enjoy your slideshow!

Charity's Graduation Photo Session

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to do a graduation photo session for Charity. I first met Charity a few years ago when I was still working in the Registrar's Office at Azusa Pacific University. She has the greatest personality and is so very smart and talented. Plus, she is extra photogenic with her fantastic smile and gorgeous red hair. Congratulations Charity on all of your accomplishments at APU. I will miss you after May 3rd. Enjoy your slideshow!
