I am thankful for these pictures of our oldest daughter (and first graduate) Eva. Just one month after these were taken, the world began reeling from COVID-19 and would never be the same again. As an online schooling family even prior to the pandemic, Eva had no classmates with whom to walk down the aisle nor senior banquet or prom to attend. Once upon a time we had hoped, however, to plan a fancy dinner with special friends and have our favorite seamstress Tia Cata make Eva a cap and gown. None of this came to pass after we were almost literally locked into our homes with military-enforced curfews.
As such, these pictures were perhaps the closest thing to "normal" in Eva's senior year. Though not a custom in Chile, our photographer friend Hernan enthusiastically embraced the idea and made it a fun shoot in multiple locations. It was a special privilege to help my daughter with her wardrobe changes and poses and to witness, I hope, a moment in which she felt beautiful and valued.
