I really enjoyed taking photographs and video at this backyard high school party in San Leandro, CA. People laughed and spoke with warmth and genuine affection for the young people completing one of life’s most important journeys. Our years of schooling before college can be challenging. A celebration with family is a marvelous way to acknowledge the perseverance it takes to complete these first 12 years of dedication.
