In a few weeks your social feeds will be filled with joyful images from proud parents of graduating seniors. If your senior is graduating, don't forget to get in the picture! My son graduated with the class of 2022, and I was so caught up in the emotion and joy of the day that I didn't have anyone get an image of the four of us together on that day. I'm a photographer by profession, how could I miss that? Because I'm a mom first. That day was all about him, and it was easy for me to drop the ball on those family images. It happens to us all, but this is a reminder to take a moment that day.
