As a parent, seeing Ellie thrive and build such meaningful connections in her first year of college has been incredibly rewarding. The photo shoot was more than just a way to document this period in her life; it was a celebration of her growth, independence, and the incredible friendships she’s formed. I was honored to photograph her friend group.

The photos from that day are now treasured keepsakes, reminding us all of the beautiful spring day when Ellie and her friends embraced the joy of their journey together. As they continue to navigate their college years, these images will always be a reminder of their first year and the spring when everything was just beginning to blossom.

Thanks for being here,
Dale
