College Graduation Portraits

Anthony and I met for a portrait consultation to find out what his vision for his photo shoot. I showed him samples locations in the Antelope Valley and he really likes the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve.  Anthony wanted his College graduation pictures to celebrate all his hard work.

I’ll let Anthony tell you his story in his own words:

“1 year ago today I completed the most difficult educational challenge to date and became a full licensed X-ray technologist.

Most days I look back on the experience and I ask myself how I did it… And all I can say is God! He legit carried me through 2 years of school while working full time and trying my absolute best to be a decent father all at the same time.

He gave me the strength to leave a hospital I spent half of my life working at which allowed me to grow and gain all the experience I have today. I pray that he continues to elevate me in this life journey I’m on.

I was extremely apprehensive on doing this photo shoot (mostly because my weight) because I didn’t think the milestone was important enough to capture.

Looking at these pictures now makes me so happy because it’s a reminder of how real dedication and hard work pays off.

Thank you to Sutton Photography for capturing such amazing photos!”
