My sister's graduation is this weekend!

What an accomplishment to all graduates of Spring 2014! Here I would like to share photos I did of my sister Denice, while throwing in a few before and afters at the end (:

My sister will be graduating with a BA in Criminology and Criminal Justice. It took her about 6 years to complete her degree. Most people now are taking longer to graduate which has become a reality in statistics. But was it my sister's fault? Not at all. Sometimes personal life gets in the way, or even the the structure of schools. In any case, all that matters is that she saw it through and persevered to the end!

Graduation is crossing the bridge to better and brighter things ahead. The journey down the bridge has been a struggle, but once you take the first step off it, the opportunities can be endless and another journey takes fold. Don't worry about money and security, just strive to be happy. With every bridge you encounter, just know that the grass is always greener on the other side.

And here are Before and After Edits I wanna share with you guys (:

My sister wanted a Vintage type of feel to her photos so that is why I added a grain effect to it and therefore the clarity and sharpness are toned down, but for the last two pictures I decided to edit it to my own liking. Hoped you enjoyed this set! :D Thank you all for taking the time to visit my blog! Seriously, it means a lot!
