I have known Tristan for several years now, and wow, am I proud of him for what he’s accomplished. This year he is graduating from Crossroads Early College High School AND from Mitchell Community College with an Associate’s Degree. In the fall, he will be attending UNC Greensboro to study dance. He hopes to move to New York one day to pursue a career in performing arts. I have seen many of his dance performances, and honestly, he’s really good! For these photos, he wanted to venture around Downtown Statesville and around the campus of Mitchell. We agreed on four outfits: casual, cap and gown, button up with tie, and dance attire. The dance photos were the most fun. We put on music and he did his thing. How lucky am I, I got a private performance! I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Thank you for allowing me to capture the end of this chapter in your book!
Zaria Gray - High School Senior
What a QUEEN! This was my first time photographing Zaria, and she could seriously be a model. This beautiful young lady went to the same early college high school as me (I graduated eight years ago, but we’re not going to talk about how old I’m getting), and she’s a great friend to my sister. She will be graduating with eight cords, one metal, Cum Laude, and an Associate’s Degree in Fine Art. What a rockstar! In the fall, she will be attending Appalachian State to study computer science. Her sweet and fun personality made this session a memorable one. It may have been hot, but we had the best time! Hopefully I will be photographing her again when she graduates college!
