Korey {Class of 2012} ~ murrieta valley photographer

ok...I'm going to make it through tomorrow...{deep, cleansing breath!} My Korey is graduating tomorrow from high school and last week he got his cap and gown so we went out and took a few last minute senior pictures of him...I had a very hard time keeping it together seeing him in his "dress" as he put it when he was at his preschool graduation! Oh that reminds me...First want to post his preschool graduation pictures {haha} in 1998...He was having a fit about wearing a "dress" to his graduation....

Fast forward 14 years...he's more than happy to wear his cap and gown!

congratulations to my amazing boy! we love you and are so proud of you!!!!
