May 23

Written By Abbie

The final year of high school is filled with so many "lasts"… and even more unknowns. It’s the edge of something big — and these senior stories give us a chance to press pause and celebrate who they are right now. Let’s kick things off with one of the incredible humans in the Class of 2025…

Let me introduce you to Kateri.

But wait…. before you dive in, you have GOT to see LITTLE Kateri from the way-back machine! I had the honor of photographing her and her adorable family years ago. They still remain some of my favorite portraits.

Get out your hankies!

And now….. here is the beautiful, grown up, high school senior Kateri….
