High School Seniors are wonderful to photograph. They usually are at my studio because their mom didn’t like the school photographer. Happy to be there but don’t often have much expectation for anything cool and different – or even anything at all.

The fun is in getting them to talk … about who they are and who they may become – their future -what they are looking forward to in college – what they will study – what lies ahead of them. Slowly you can see them open up …smiles relax… they talk about their life and you can see a little of their dreams.

And then along the way you can capture a glint in their eye – see a joy of life – they are no longer giving plastic smiles but having a good time. How great to photograph this promise – this possibility right before they go off to build a new chapter in their story!
