You have overcome so many obstacles and fought so many battles. You have worked so hard. I am so proud of you. You amaze me each and every day. You are going to touch so many lives in your career as an RN and I can’t wait to see the impact you are going to have on this world. I love you to infinity and beyond. Congratulations, baby!”
Photos done by Nw Stolen Images Photography have since gone viral across other platforms, including Reddit, where users praised the photographer for his quick thinking and kind gesture.
“Beautiful photos! And such a wonderful thing to do for that young lady and her family,” one user commented.
Another person shared a similar experience, saying, “It’s moments like this that make me proud to be a photographer. I have done similar in the past and that smile you help create is just priceless. Good work!”
“As a nurse and mother, if I had seen this happening to my nurse baby, I would have absolutely bawled my eyes out!” another person added. “That is the sweetest thing ever!”
The kindness shown by the photographer and the overwhelming support from the community are reminders of the impact a simple gesture can have on someone’s life. Congratulations to Alivia Stenson on her nursing school graduation, and thank you to the photographer for capturing the moment and spreading joy.
Based in Spokane, Washington, “Stolen Images Photography & Video” is a photography business that specializes “in Weddings, Senior Photos, & Event Photography,” according to their presence.
While a quick glance at their work proves their quality, a post from early spring also suggests that they specialize in kindness.
Last March, the photographers were working with an engaged couple to capture some memorable moments when one of the photographers noticed something else going on nearby and ended up sharing the resulting story on Facebook.
“Was out on an engagement shoot today and one of our photographers saw a proud mother taking pics of her daughter who graduated nursing school but was taking them with her cell phone,” the post read.
“So he stopped the shoot for 5 min and captured some crisp clean printable images for them and congratulated her on her amazing achievement.”
“So here you go young lady! Congratulations!
“Small acts of kindness.”
Small act of kindness, perhaps — it was simple and quick, but the outpouring of love and support that has resulted from that “small act” has been anything but small.
Just two days after posting, the post racked up over 97,000 reactions and hundreds of comments — most of them praising the young lady for her selfless choice of career and hard work, and many of them current or former nurses cheering her on.
“Thank you so much for capturing such an exciting moment for me and my family!” Alivia Stenson, the nurse being photographed, commented. “I will cherish these forever!”
“One of my nursing students!” Marty Novotney Sells added. “Wonderful young lady, I am so proud of her.”
“As a nurse of 50 yrs, it does my heart good to read this,” Donna Murphy Watson wrote. “Blessings to a new nurse, remember always advocate & protect your patient no matter what. And blessings to you dear photographer, what a lovely gesture. God bless you both.”
“This is amazing… I am tearing up. Thank you for your act of kindness to this new nurse. She has been on a long journey and will need to remember this act of kindness as she is pouring out to others in need.”
“I’m so incredibly proud of this woman here!” Tyler Bailey, Stenson’s partner, wrote in his own of the photographer’s post. “I am lucky enough to have seen you progress from start to finish! If anyone deserves it, it’s you!! I love you Alivia Stenson bout time I have a sugar momma.”
While the work ahead of her will be challenging, if Stenson ever needs a pick-me-up, the comment section on this post is certainly a beautiful gift in itself — thanks to a kind photographer spotting an opportunity and giving up a few minutes of his time and talent.
