Moms, dads, siblings, relatives and friends gathered to cheer on and celebrate those who had dedicated countless hours and years their lives to fulfill a dream of a higher education. 

A few weeks ago, I was honored by a long time friend when she asked me to spend the weekend with her and her family to celebrate her son’s graduation from California State University Fullerton with Honors. 

As a family friend and a photographer, I was able to record this occasion for the family so that they could simply enjoy the moment as it happened.  Here is a sneak peak at the Class of 2010.
