"Confidence is contagious." - Vince Lombardi It's a chilly winter day in Auburn. The clouds can't decide whether to rain, blow or let the sun show on our little senior portrait session.

One might call her talented as a singer-songwriter. One might call her tenacious in her pursuit to study global health issues abroad. But I’m not sure simple is the word… High School senior portraits have almost become like a right of passage in the U.S. A way of celebrating and commemorating not only completion of high school, but the journey into adulthood.  After high school many pursue their dreams through furthering their education with a college degree or multiple degrees…. Immersion into a depth of material that only makes you rea...
