This great family had a great milestone this year. Dad achieved a doctorate degree in engineering while maintaining a full-time job and keeping up with his beautiful growing family.

I was supposed to photograph the graduation ceremony at George Washington University, followed by shots with the extended family. However, 2020 had other plans.

He’s a lovely man. Stately in his robes. Dare I say a bit like Henry VIII? Although far more honorable, no doubt. :) But alas, his little girl, proud of her dad was still proud enough to pout, and once again stole the show. And does mom look like Jennifer Garner?

Even when the world feels upside down, there is wonder, achievement, quiet beauty and love.

Congratulations, sir.
