VCU graduation. It’s always a busy blustery time in RVA. RamNation was packed on this Sunday afternoon. Downtown becomes a hustly and bustly and excitement builds in the air. It’s a busy time of year .. I had to take time to do this shoot, it was very important to me.. yes my sister-in-law has laughed at me because I didn’t know who Shaka Smart was… I didn’t know that VCU had done rather well in basketball. I’m not much of a sports fan…
I was so honored when my nephew wanted me to do these photos. I am proud of him. He has always been a quiet, likeable guy a lot like my brother, his dad…
If I could have any one wish, it would be that my dad would be here to see this young man graduate. To witness what a great guy he is. To see his long hair curled into a bun… ( yeah that wouldn’t go over so well)… Hmmm… I’m thinking as Kyle enters into the world of business, his drummer hair style will soon become shorter. We will see. ..
Yes did I mention that he has a band? Yup Another Treehouse acquaintance https://www.facebook.com/pages/Another-Treehouse-Acquaintance/105827388986?fref=nf They are in the middle of recording for their fans … and have achieved some rock and roll fame in the area. Their Facebook page has more likes than mine.. so that kind burns me a little.
They are quite talented musicians and have been friends for a long time . I hope in future they continue their passion for music. Any passion for any art is the most wonderful thing. These guys in this band started elementary school together, and have grown together as friends all the way through college.
So… back to the shoot… we waited out a rainstorm.. and the sun came out .. it broke through the clouds brilliantly, as bright as Dani’s smile:) .. and the photos are amazing.
Pictured in these photos, is Kyle’s Best friend and cohort in crime, his love, Danielle… She is as pretty on the inside as she is on the outside. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for both of these graduating seniors. Dani is funny and witty and keeps you laughing, and she seems to keep Kyle in check..
They are a cute couple.. and I think a permanent couple. Time will tell:) That may be another photo shoot. 🙂
So Congrats to you both.. You are loved.
xxoo
