A Year in Pictures: What Living Through COVID-19 Was Like For Families

In May, Ethan Taylor and his girlfriend Carly Hellerstedt had the chance to photograph a socially-distanced graduation ceremony at Fannin County High School in Georgia. Having graduated from the same high school just a few years prior, Ethan and Carly were determined to make the experience memorable for the students.

"The school hosted a group ceremony so that the students had a secondary, more traditional celebration," Ethan told POPSUGAR. "It was very emotional and surreal to be a part of. It felt like we were making history, Carly and I even took photos of ourselves with our cameras and in masks to remember it by. It wasn't sad, but it was definitely intense and emotional to be down there."
