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 MoreLast year I had the privilege of photographing a bunch of high school seniors. I love doing senior photos, because it’s different, there is a lot of creativity involved, and we are working to capture them, who they are, and what they love. I could be doing photos with cars, balls, or nothing at all, but every time it’s a challenge. This years seniors have another thing that has changed it all, as so many of these seniors never got to finish their senior year.
Read MoreRon is an extraordinary young man. He is kind and loves sports. He’s got an awesome sister and mom (I haven’t met his dad) and is someone anyone would be lucky to have as a friend. While I don’t know Ron super well, the little time I spent with him was a blast, and i’m so pumped to be able to share his senior photos with you.
