Pony Up - SMU Graduation Portraits with Rachel Cline

Pony up!

Rachel Cline is one of the most interesting people I have ever met. A NCAA Equestrian student athlete, social media guru, and one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to get to know the past four years. I initially met Rachel over four years ago when we were both freshmen. A few months ago we were reminiscing about the past four years. The highs, the lows, and the future.

Back in late winter, Rachel asked me to do her graduation day photos. I was more than honored to spend this special day with Rachel and her family.

If we are going to pay for the SMU fountains, we might as well use them.

Rachel, you are an amazing friend and I am truly blessed to have been asked to spend graduation with you and your family. The past four years have been a roller coaster, but I am happy that you were there for the ride.

As a bonus, I found this gem while going through old photos tuesday night.
