A Cap & Gown Send-Off for Bryce Class of 2025 – Monroe High School

As the Class of 2025 prepares to turn the page on one incredible chapter, I had the absolute honor of capturing Bryce’s cap and gown session—a full-circle moment that beautifully closed out his senior year.

Bryce has been part of my Senior Rep Team this year, and I’ve had the joy of watching his confidence grow through every session. His dedication, kindness, and quiet strength stood out from day one. It came as no surprise that he was selected as this year’s recipient of the Candid Community Gives Back Scholarship—a small way to recognize a young man who’s made a big impact.

Of course, no session with Bryce would be complete without a nod to his passion—football. We took part of his portraits right on the Monroe High School Football Field, a space that’s shaped so much of his high school journey. We also explored the charm of downtown Monroe, capturing his personality with a mix of laid-back and classic cap-and-gown shots.

More than anything, what made this session special was the connection I’ve built with Bryce and his family. They are truly some of the kindest people, and it’s been an absolute joy getting to know them throughout the year.

To Bryce: thank you for being part of this unforgettable year. I can’t wait to see what your next chapter brings.

With gratitude,
