senior boy

I know sometimes it’s hard to convince your senior guy that he needs photos too. Getting in front of the camera isn’t easy for anyone and for a lot of high school senior boys it can be the absolute last thing they want to do. I always promise them #1 - I won’t make it painful. We do our best to shoot efficiently and I don’t ask them to do anything that makes them feel ridiculous. And #2 - include things that are important to them. Music, sports, your car, WE CAN SHOOT THAT!

Matthew was like a lot of my senior guy clients - finally agreed to shoot because his parents really wanted it. We did a few shots in studio to get his tuba and his guitar based on some really artistic reference images dad sent and then headed out to a park nearby in Harrisburg. At the end of the day (like every other boy I’ve ever photographed:) he said, “That was actually fun” and he got some great shots to celebrate his senior year. Mom and dad were pretty happy too!

I’ve had the pleasure of watching Jay run at meets for a few years now and let me tell you he is a blast to watch on the track! I’ve photographed his whole family for his gorgeous mama a few times now and she always comes with a lot of style and flair and I knew Jay’s senior uptown session was going to be amazing! Last minute we had to rearrange our track location and I’ve never had such a happy accident - the new location not only had his primary school color but always showcased the awesome Charlotte skyline in the background. Good luck running for the UNCC 49ers next year and congrats on an amazing senior year!

One of my previous senior families came back for another round:) I did Kellyn’s sister’s senior portraits three years ago and I just adore this entire amazing group of people! They are always up for some fun and so trusting of the process that they make it easy to get amazing images - not to mention that they are all just down right adorable. Kellyn had to include his prize posession Rosie and of course we took some baseball images just for dad. And as expected my afternoon shooting this kid had me laughing the entire time! Killer images of Kellyn to celebrate his senior year!
