Oooh, am I ever stoked to share Maelyn's University of Montana graduation images with you today! When Maelyn's mom contacted me about making grad photos for her college graduation announcements, I was excited to get to work with her.

Graduation Celebration! :: {Dylan’s University of Montana Graduation and Family Portraits}
Graduation weekend at the University of Montana means there's a certain happy, excited energy in the air around Missoula that is always such a cool feeling, and makes me think back upon my own experiences graduating from college and graduate school.
