It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years since I first took photos of Derek and his sister (see below) — time really does fly! Thank you, Susan, for reaching out to 2Rtist Photography and bringing everything full circle for Derek’s senior year. Derek, it was great seeing and catching up with you. Have a wonderful senior year, and best of luck with all that’s ahead next year! xo Ren
