I met Tapanga several years ago when I had the chance to do her brothers senior photos - Ron. She was smart, cleaver and great at sports then, but now she’s really excelled. I loved our early morning shoot where we got to catch up a bit, get her in her element, and take some great senior photos out by her high school of Timberlake.
Read MoreAbout five years ago my son Isaiah had an incredible teacher - one of the best in the area - his kindergarten teacher. She was kind, thoughtful, and clearly cared so much about the kids in her class. Well around that time she also had a boy who was graduating from high school (shout out to Conner!) and she asked me to photograph his senior photos. It never ceases to be a compliment when someone has you do their photos, has you capture such an important part of their lives, and then asks you to do it again after dealing with you, seeing the product and all that. So when Kim emailed me when Julian was a senior it was a huge honor to photograph this young man. He’s super kind, incredible with his cello (I only wish I had asked him to play more while I was there) and incredibly smart. I have no doubt that where Julian goes, he will succeed. I loved getting to know him over the time of our shoot, and I’m pumped I get to share these with you today.
Read MoreAround 8 years ago my wife and I started attending a new church. Our amazing son (Isaiah) was only around two years old then. The church was small with some really great families involved, and the Harrisons were one of them. Muir and Julia have been friends ever since, so when Julia contacted me to see if I could take Cole’s senior photos I was pumped. I had known Cole for years, as he attending the youth group my wife and I volunteered at, and I knew him to be smart and witty, and while I hadn’t seen him in a while I wasn’t surprised that this adult version of himself was just as smart and witty as every. He’s someone I’ve always really enjoyed, and I’m so excited that I have the chance to share these photos of him.
Read MoreI met Lilli for the first time when we set out to do her senior photos. You see, Lilli isn’t local, so when her family came up here to visit she thought of the (excellent) idea of having her senior photos done in a place that is totally different from where she lives. I not only love that idea, but I’m also pumped that she chose me to be the one to capture those memories and moments. In talking with her I found she is kind, thoughtful, and has great energy. I truly had a lot of fun getting to know her and her family, and I’m excited I get to share these photos with you!
Read MoreI loved meeting Parker. Strong, quick to laugh, good humored and a solid dude. It feel weird sometimes going back to Lake City (I graduated from there) and seeing the old places, hearing new stories. Parker has left his mark on this school i’m sure, and he has a bright future in front of him.
Read MoreJaxon is a solid dude. He has an easy smile and is thoughtful and kind. He’s someone I got along with nearly instantly, and loved exploring Farragut State Park with. I have no doubt he will do something incredible with his life. I’m pumped that I get to share some of my favorite senior photos with you from his shoot.
