Although it's been a hot & stormy summer here in Orlando, it didn't stop Travis & I from scheduling an early-morning graduation portrait session, that consisted of all the essentials: a "cool" shot on top of the Pegasus across from CFE arena, popping champagne, and of course: matching your socks with your tassel.
