Last Friday, June 15, 2012, Memories by Mark was again selected to photograph the Keiser University graduation from their Port St. Lucie campus. This was our 7th year covering this event which has grown from humble beginnings at The Grace Place down in Stuart to the Port St. Lucie Civic Center. The night began as Mr. John Hooker assembled the graduates at the Civic Center for instructions and practice. During this time, Memories by Mark was tasked to capture a portrait of each graduate. This year we decided to bring our mobile photo studio set up with us complete with a new, custom made backdrop that looked fantastic. Several of the students and staff commented on how great the new backdrop looked. After a practice with the graduates, the stage was set as the Civic Center was filled to capacity with not a single seat empty. The pomp and circumstance music filled the air as the graduates filed into the hall in front of hundreds of friends and family. No matter how many graduations I have attended (quite a lot over 20 years) I still am in awe of the pride and happiness that happens each time. This year's commencement speaker was Rep. Gayle Harrell from Stuart. Ms. Harrell gave an inspirational speech to the graduates, praising them on earning college degrees while working and raising families. She even reflected on her own journey of her college experience while married raising children. Many of the students commented on how they were moved by her speech and how they felt she was talking directly to them!
Next, the fun began as Mr. Hooker called off the names of each graduate while College President Dr. Thomas Creola handed them their diplomas. After receiving their diploma, each student posed for an "official" diploma photograph with Rep. Harrell before making their way off stage. Of course it is every graduates fear that they will fall in front of everyone but I am glad to report that everyone made it on and off the stage without any incidents.
Lastly, Dr. Creola conferred the graduates status and many in the crowd tossed their caps into the air with uncontrolled happiness! I hope everyone got their cap back. The graduates then filed out of the Civic Center into the arms of their loving families who were on hand to witness the occasion. Smiles were the order of the night and we were mobbed with families asking us to take a group photo with their graduate before most of the crowd drifted out of the Civic Center off to dinner somewhere while some students lingered, savoring this special moment in their lives. Memories by Mark is honored to have captured this event again and strives each year to increase our expectations. We hope you enjoy your complimentary photos from Keiser University and have made arrangements for you to purchase additional copies and enlargements at a reasonable price. All photo orders are through our website ONLY and if you are having difficulties, please email us at mark@memmoriesbymark.com
