As you probably know, I have been working with college students for over 20 years. I started working in the field of student affairs as a Resident Assistant in my undergraduate residence hall. In turn, most of my career has been spent working in Residential Life and helping develop student leaders.
Kelly is one of those leaders who I have had the pleasure to see grow in her role! She has worked hard to develop the communities she has overseen, provide engaging activities to help them grow, and do her part to assure the wellness and safety the many college student residents she works with. After graduation, she plans on learning more, investing in herself, and then giving back to the community as a social worker. We need people like Kelly doing that work and I wish her all the best!
This year Kelly was the first College Senior Portrait session we had in 2021! It was really wonderful to be taking senior portraits in Riverside on the UCR campus with literally no one around! If there is one positive to all the negative that COVID has brought us - it has to be less people in the backgrounds of all my pictures 😃.
We began the session at one of the residence halls where Kelly was an RA for a few years so it had a special meaning to hear. As you can see, it didn't hurt that the flowers matched her dress so well. Then we moved onto the main campus area for Cap & Gown photos with all of the best UCR landmarks. Finally, we ended the session over at the old Citrus Experiment Station right as the sun set. By moving to all of these spots Kelly had a lot of diverse images to choose from. I am so excited to be designing a gorgeous album for Kelly and preparing a couple of prints that she can give as gifts. I'll update this post with a clip of the album when it is complete! Congratulations Kelly! Go out there and make a difference in the world like you have made at UCR!
