Maya - Graduation 2023

And just like that, high school is over and you're onto bigger and better things! 

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”
― Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

I'm a huge Dr. Seuss, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" fan, so I couldn't not include a line in this blog post about Maya heading off to university without some Dr. Seuss. What initially started off with a photo shoot booked for a springtime grad session turned into a summer time grad session, and I've gotta say - a summer grad session is the way to go! Not only did we get to capture the soft summer light and warmer weather, but there wasn't the same kind of crazy rush you get when hitting graduation time. Which made these pictures of Maya and Seven that much better!

Maya and her fire breathing (barrel horse) dragon Seven were quite the pair. Neither were 100% sold that photographs were the way to go but both human and horse were lovely to work with and absolutely stunning!

Maya - I wish you the very best on your next adventures at university...and just remember the West is still best! ;) 

“You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So... get on your way!”
