Gurraj | ASU

Engagements & Anniversaries

March 3, 2020

Arizona is certainly missing, Gurraj, that is for sure! After he graduated from ASU’s Fulton School of Engineering in December of 2019, he moved back to Kenya. He plans to work for his family’s business, a job he always dreamed he would have. We connected with Gurraj and his family immediately. Their smiles and warm hugs were just what we love. Gurraj’s jokes and his Texas-size smile brought his photographs to life and made it a senior session I won’t soon forget!

His smile is so grand and handsome, he was even featured for a local orthodontist office in Glendale, Arizona: Great Big Smiles Orthodontics.

My favorite part of his session was watching his mother help him fix his stole and fold his collar as she looked up at him with pride.

Gurraj, we wish you the best of luck and send all the Arizona love your way to Kenya!
