There are so many milestones in a child’s life that should be documented and one of those moments includes 8th grade graduation, especially after this last year. This recent 8th grade session with Noah in Fresno was so much fun.


Eighth grade often gets overlooked as it gets sandwiched between the younger kids and high schoolers. But let me tell you how much your 8th grader is going to change in the next 4 years of high school. Why not take a moment to capture this time in their life.


A little backstory. Noah’s mom, Michelle and I grew up playing softball against each other since our schools were in the same league starting in junior high. Our parents actually went to school together which is how Michelle and I met. We eventually ended up on the same travel softball team later in high school. And thanks to social media, we’ve been able to reconnect and stay in touch.


Getting to photograph her son now was such a treat for me. Of course he could have cared less, but he did it for his mama. He was such a good sport and up for anything I asked him to do. Noah is the sweetest, has the cutest smile and I even got him to laugh. I am not above making a fool of myself to get these tweens and teens to laugh and smile. 


Wishing him the best of luck in high school.
