Class of 2021

A graduation, a real in-person graduation. She has danced all of her life and currently enjoys Irish dance. In addition, Holly has cheered for El Dorado for four years and was the captain of cheer this year. The “captain of cheer”…I like that! She has that type of heart.

What could be more fun than graduating high school and heading to Santa Barbara to continue your studies? Going with your best friend! This spring Ella and Bianca will graduate from El Dorado High School and head to Santa Barbara City College. We got together at the High Sierra Wedding and Iris Gardens in full bloom to capture the two of them in one of my BFF sessions.

He’s passionate about civil rights and likes to discuss history, politics and current events. I turned both of them onto Heather Cox Richardson, a historian, professor and writer. I thought they too might enjoy her current news digest and historical insights. Jack also enjoys music and…
