Sometimes less is more and if you have ever come home from vacation with 1,000 pics on your phone, you understand why.

My middle child is graduating this year. In addition to the mom emotion of it all, I'm not gonna lie, finding and selecting pics to create graduation keepsakes has been rough. I'm comforted, however, by the fact that I can't do this wrong.
