Congratulations to the graduating high school seniors of 2014! I loved photographing each of these very special young people. Some I have been documenting since they were very small, and some I had the honor of just meeting and documenting this year. I got a little teary eyed today as I was pulling these images because it seems like all the kids are just growing up so fast. I hope that each of them will go off and fulfill their own individual dreams and live great lives! I wish you the best! xo Mara
