Shooting Triplicates Photography

I couple weeks ago I was honored with being allowed to take photos of this young lady, Miriam an U of H graduate. It was only by chance that this happened. My daughters hamster died and each time one dies we bury it at the cemetery at my husband's grave. As we were leaving I see this family taking pictures and a young lady in her cap and gown. I automatically start to tear up because this will be my kids when they graduate. They will be going to the cemetery to show their achievement of getting their degree by wearing this cap and gown.
As we past by I told the kids I wish I had my camera in the car because I would love to offer them photos. My oldest looks at me and says, "mom, here it is" I NEVER leave my camera in my car, like NEVER!!
She smiles at me and I said, "you think I'm crazy don't you?" She giggled and responded with, "not anymore than normal".
When I pulled up and spoke to the family and explained who I was, why we were there and that it would be an honor to take a few photos.
Miriam agreed and I started taking these photos. Photos that are very sentimental and intimate and I love that they are allowing me to share them with yall.
Despite the fact that Miriams mother passed away when she was only 8 years old, Miriam went on to graduate from U of H with a degree instead of falling victim to her circumstances, she decided to make something of her life and make her mother proud. I pray my children do the same thing. Thank you Mirian and Evette for allowing me to be a part of this tender time.
