I’m just going to start out by telling you all how incredible Kate Ritchie is!
This week Kate is graduating from East Carolina University with a Bachelors of Science: Health Fitness Specialist! That is a HUGE accomplishment that I’m sure took lots of time and dedication!
Kate will start an internship at a hospital in the spring and after, she will be applying to physical therapy school! When all is said and done, Kate hopes to work with wounded veterans and specialize in amputee rehabilitation!
After meeting Kate, it was EASY to picture her working with people during challenging times in their lives because of how kind hearted she is! Not only that, but Kate’s smile can literally… brighten your day! I know that kind of thing is said often, but there is no other way to describe it! She is one of the most genuine people I have ever met! She is such an easy person to talk with and I feel like I’ve been friends with her for a while! It definitely makes me wish we lived closer! I will admit to calling my husband after the session (like I always do) and just expressing just how much I thoroughly enjoyed my session with her and was a nice girl she was!
To give you an idea of how sweet she is, Kate offered to treat me to Starbucks after this session because it was freezing cold! I know that’s simple, but gestures like that MELT MY HEART! She has this vibrance and bounce to her that makes you feel like you could never have a bad day if she was hanging around!
I’m SOO excited for what the future has for her! Not only is she going to be a graduate, BUT….. as you will notice in one of the photos, she has quite the rock hanging out on her ring finger! Kate will be getting married this summer and I am the lucky lady to gets to photograph her wedding!! WHAT?? Yes that’s correct, I get to be one one to photograph this bubbly girl and her man on the biggest day of their life! I am more than thrilled!
Happy Graduation week Kate!
Here’s to exciting things ahead!!!
