This is the last "first" of your childhood. The last yearbook photo, the last homecoming, the last time someone calls you a kid. I take that seriously, even when we're laughing through an entire session (which we will be).

My job isn't to make you hold still and smile. It's to get you so comfortable in front of the camera that you forget it's there. That's when the real photos happen, the ones where you actually look like you. Confident. Yourself, fully. Exactly who you are right now, before this version of you grows up too.

I've been doing this for 19 years, which means I've photographed a lot of seniors who were nervous, a lot of moms who teared up at the gallery reveal, and a lot of dads who pretended they weren't also a little emotional. My work has been featured in several publications, and in 2025 I was named one of the Top 100 Senior Photographers in the nation by Senior Style Guide. None of that matters as much as this: when you look at your photos in ten years, I want you to feel something. Not "that's a nice photo of me." More like, "that's exactly who I was."

So let's do this. And tell your mom not to worry, we'll get her a classic shot for the mantel too (every mom wants one, no judgment). Let's make something that actually feels like you.
