Edmonton Children Photographer| The Graduate.
Hello everyone.
It is that time of year again where kids of all ages are finishing school and graduating from their specific grades.
I have a graduate in my family-my daughter. My daughter is actually graduating a second time. This past year I have been heavily invested in her as her teacher last year that she should be held back a year. Throughout last summer I had reservations about her not being with her peers to Kindergarten. I remember people when I was in school as a child that were held back a year and they were teased mercilessly. I did not want that for my little girl.
That summer was also full of appointments to go to specialists and get her assessed so she could get some help getting up to speed with the class that she is in now.
We went into the school year with a great team of people to help my daughter blossom. Everyone on the team worked really well with each other and they had a genuine interest in my daughters well being. 1 case leader, 2 speech therapists, 1 occupational therapist and a school aide as well as her teacher came together for my daughter. From September until now, Sofia has blossomed and will continue to blossom.To everyone that helped my daughter in every way possible-I sincerely thank you…even those two words are not enough to say how I feel.
So to celebrate my daughters SECOND Graduation I give you her last graduation photo and her current one.
Personally other than the fact that she is a year older I see MANY changes in the the image. I see her focus more in the current photo (which is on the right) in her eyes. She has always been a happy girl but there is more light radiating in her that is wanting to burst out and show the world.
I did a photo shoot with my friend Rachel. We both took our children out for a mini session of them playing. I will only post my daughter as this post is about her. I wanted to show how much she has blossomed, hopefully I achieved that. Sofia is seriously into Rapunzel we watched Tangled during spring break and she as been hooked ever since. Her Nana bought her a Rapunzel dress and once it is on-it is difficult to take off her. Sofia went as far as to cut her hair, just like Rapunzel, but that is another story.
Dear Sofia. Mommy is VERY proud of you and all that you have accomplished this year. May your summer be full of swimming, playing and sunshine. Now go play with your friends, laugh hard and spread your sunshine around.
Love Mom
