Recently I had the privilege of photographing the LSU Rural Family Medicine Residency Program’s graduation and white coat ceremony—and what an incredible day it was!

Congratulations to the amazing doctors who just completed their residency. Watching them stand proudly at the podium, surrounded by faculty and loved ones, was such a powerful reminder of the hard work and heart behind this journey. I’m so proud to have captured this moment for you.

And to the brand new residents donning their white coats for the first time—welcome! You’re stepping into something big, and I wish you all the best as you begin this next chapter.

I say it often, but it’s always true: I love this job. Getting to freeze these emotional, once-in-a-lifetime milestones is such an honor.

Wishing continued success to the graduates and all the best to the incoming class!
