College Bound

My high school friends are still some of my very best friends (and I graduated from HS 24 years ago – eek!)…so, when one of my class of 2015 seniors, Emma, first texted me in April about her idea for a college shoot with her best friends, the answer was YES! These girls are so sweet and came to the session ready to have fun with each other. My guess is that these friendships will last a lifetime! Soon they will be leaving home and chasing after their dreams – 4 are going to WSU, 2 are heading to Boise State, 1 to Eastern, and 1 to the Joffrey School of Ballet in NYC!

Best of luck girls!! And...we should plan to do another session together when you all graduate from college! Fun!

Ryane | Class of 2016

Laid back, quirky, and humorous are the three words Ryane used to describe herself. I would have to add determined, ambitious, and wise beyond her years! Ryane began the Running Start program as a junior and will graduate High School with her AA degree. She is passionate about graphic design and dreams about starting her own firm after college. Ryane also lives with type 1 diabetes – an autoimmune disease that she must mange 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This diagnosis came right before her 10th birthday. I have always been impressed with her commitment to serving and helping others in the type 1 community as a volunteer for both the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Camp Stix.

Ryane – I am so proud of you and the beautiful person you have grown up to be. I am thankful that I met you all those years ago at JDRF. Keep smiling sweet girl! xo
