I love Senior sessions.  There’s something innately relaxing about having one, usually willing, photography subject.  I love family sessions and young children’s sessions, of course, but these senior sessions are definitely a nice change of pace.

 

Having the opportunity to photograph the children of parents who are amazing photographers is something of a double-edged sword.  There is the amazing positive that photographers’ children are generally completely at home in front of the camera.  I love that!  But, oh the (usually self-imposed) pressure!  How can I possibly provide photographs that will even be half as good as their parents could provide?

Tami is Zach’s mom.  She will tell you that she is an amateur photographer.  The only thing amateur about her work is that she doesn’t charge money for her pictures.  She has an amazing natural eye and a lot of skill.  When she asked if I’d take Zach’s senior portraits, I was honored.  I’ve watched Zach grow up over the last few years; it is a privilege to know him. 

We started out at the Naval Aviation Museum.  I love this place – it’s truly one of the jewels of our town, but listening to Zach describe it made me appreciate it even more.

 

 

 

Then, we headed over to Fort Barrancas for some more pictures.  It was a cool, crisp, beautiful day and the light was amazing.

 

 

 

Thank you so much Zach for letting me take your senior photographs!
