The final photos make this look way more calm than it actually was.

She wanted to get in the water for part of her senior session, and I was all for it.

Then she ignored the one rule I gave her and got a little more wet than she planned.

I probably should’ve tried to help her, but I had to make sure I got the shot first.

This is exactly why I love showing the behind-the-scenes too. The photos look calm. Getting them did not.

Class of 2027, summer is one of the best times to get your senior photos done. The evenings are longer, schedules are easier, and we have more time to make the session your own.

Send me a message and let’s get a date set.

One of my favorite things about senior photos is when they actually feel personal instead of just feeling like a checklist.

Tyler brought Cash along for this one, and I love that because it instantly made the whole session feel more like him and a whole lot less like just another senior shoot.

That’s the kind of stuff I want more of. Photos that still look good, but actually feel like they belong to the person in them.

Class of 2027, if you’ve been thinking about senior photos, summer and early fall dates are the ones that go first.

If you want a session that feels like you, let’s get it booked.

You can tell a lot about a media day by the athlete’s reaction before the photos are even delivered.

That’s one of my favorite parts of these shoots. Not just taking the photo, but turning the camera around and watching an athlete see what we just created.

That’s the whole goal for me. Yeah, I want the final images to look good, but I also want the athletes to have fun with it, get excited about it, and walk away feeling like it was a whole lot more than just another team photo day.

If your team wants a media day that feels different in the best way, let’s talk.

Sometimes the photos that mean the most really are the simplest ones.

Just a senior, a cross, a beautiful sunset, and a session that reflected something bigger than just senior photos.

That’s one of the things I love most about sessions like this. They don’t need to be loud or overdone to matter. Sometimes the best photos are the ones that actually reflect who someone is, what matters to them, and what they want to remember about this season of life.

Summer sunsets have been showing off lately, and if you’re needing senior photos for the Class of 2027, now’s a perfect time to get yours on the calendar.

Send me a message and let’s make it happen.

This is what happens when I know exactly what I’m trying to say and absolutely none of it comes out right.

If you’re looking for polished and perfectly put together, I’m probably not your guy. Half the time I know exactly what I mean, it just takes me a second to figure out how to get it out of my mouth in a way that sounds like actual English.

But if you want somebody who’s going to keep it real, have a good time, work through it with you, and do everything I can to make sure you leave with photos you’re excited about, I’d love to talk.

If that sounds more like your kind of senior session, send me a message.

Happy 250th Merica Day!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

There’s just something about the American flag in a photo that means more.

Every athlete and senior in this reel wanted to include it because they’re proud of what it stands for, and I’ve always loved getting to create photos like that.

Not just because it makes for a strong image, but because it represents pride in this country, pride in the freedom we’ve been given, and pride in being able to live in a place where kids can still be proud to show that.

I’m proud to be an American, and I’m thankful for every athlete, senior, and family that has trusted me to create images like these over the years.

Happy 4th of July from our family to yours. God bless America.

We waited for this shot on purpose.

I knew once the lighthouse light hit the right spot, this had a chance to be something special.

So we waited for the sky to get dark enough, watched the light at the top, and built the shot when everything finally lined up.

And honestly, that’s a big part of why I love senior sessions.

Not just because of the final photo, but because of what it takes to create it. The patience. The trust. The timing. The moment an idea turns into a photo that feels like it was worth slowing down for.

Because senior photos shouldn’t feel rushed or generic.

They should feel like an experience. Something fun, personal, and built around creating photos that actually feel like your senior, not like everyone else.

If you’ve got a Class of 2027 senior and want photos that feel a little more personal than the standard senior session, send this to them or shoot me a message.

Can you create a great senior photo in the middle of the day?

We figured there was only one way to find out.

Addie and I used part of her senior session to test an idea I’d been wanting to try. The sun was high, the light was harsh, and it definitely wasn’t the “ideal” time to shoot.

But I love challenges like this.

Photography isn’t about waiting for perfect conditions. It’s about knowing how to make the most of the conditions you have.

Some of my favorite photos come from trying something new instead of playing it safe.

The photos are important.

But the experience of creating them is what people remember.

Think we pulled it off?

If you’ve got a Class of 2027 senior who wants a session that’s creative, relaxed, and anything but ordinary, tag them below or send me a message.

Your athletes deserve more than a team picture.

They deserve a day that builds excitement, creates confidence, and makes them feel like the stars of their own story.

That’s exactly what Media Day is all about.

From the first pose to the final image, my goal is to create an experience your athletes will remember long after the season is over.

If you’re a coach, gym owner, or team manager who’s ready to give your athletes something they’ll be proud of, I’d love to hear more about your program and what makes it unique.

Let’s create a Media Day your athletes won’t stop talking about.

Class of 2027…

If you’re already thinking about senior photos, you’re ahead of the game.

The best senior sessions aren’t about copying someone else’s photos. They’re about creating images that feel like you.

Your favorite places. Your hobbies. Your style. Your personality.

The best summer evenings are already starting to fill, and now is the perfect time to start planning a session that’s every bit as unique as your senior year.

If you’re ready to create something you’ll still be proud of years from now, I’d love to help tell your story.
