Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Last year I was asked to photograph South High School’s (Torrance, CA) class of 1963 45-year Reunion! This was extra special because my mother happens to be in the graduating class!
Since my first high school reunion is coming up in a few months (10 years already? Eeek!) it was nice to see how involved these people were, even 45 years after graduation!
My mother is the Tech-Geek of the bunch. She made a fabulous slideshow and these name tags below. They may not seem like much, but she spent months scanning pages from the yearbook to get these images! She even touched them up a bit, removing blemishes, hickeys (true story!), etc.
The rest of the committe did a fabulous job decorating, including centerpeices that were a blast from the past:
A view of the whole room, top of the Doubletree in Torrance.
And these schoolmates could dance!!!!! The DJ was rocking oldies the whole night!
And of course, me and my Mom! She lives outside of California, so I treasure all the time I can spend with her that I get!
Big thanks to Jen and Tim who shot the reunion with me!
I appreciate you two!!
xoxo, M
