From emails back and forth between his mom and myself, I had an idea of what Jacob would be like.  Style.  Great smile.  Very outgoing.  When I met him in person, I have to admit the facial hair threw me as I thought, “He cannot be a senior in high school!!!”  Maybe it’s just me but I think it makes him look so much older ;)  We met in Fort Wayne for his late afternoon session to what I also knew would be a great time.  His mom had told me that Jacob loves photography and was up for anything.  I knew his taste was very urban with lots of textures and that’s what we did…and the light played right into the our hands.  I love it when a plan comes together!

Jacob, I so enjoyed getting to know you and your mom during our escapades!  Thanks for being patient with me while I journeyed across the bridge ;)  Wishing you all the best as you finish up your high school career and continue on to do great things!

I was warned that Hunter doesn’t talk…  That was until I got to know him while shooting his brother’s wedding last summer.  We quickly worked up to a relationship that consisted of bantering one liners back and forth to each other.  All day long.  His mom had already scheduled to have his senior session done in the fall so I knew I’d have the pleasure of giving him a hard time on another day ;)

It seemed to do the trick, because although Hunter declares to “hate having his picture taken,” he was comfortable enough with me at this point to just be himself.  Hunter has one of the greatest smiles and it’s one of the things he’s known for.  He’s always laughing.

His mom wanted pictures around the farm and a distinctly outdoors look with little fuss.  Don’t let the cool hair fool you-Hunter is a no fuss kinda guy!

Hunter, admit it.  You LOVED being in front of the camera ;)  Congrats on your senior year!

Zac is another senior from Bellmont who is staring down the last few days of his high school career.  We had a late afternoon session in our downtown area last fall and found some great places that took advantage of the few peeks of sunlight we had!  Here are a few of my favorites.

Zac, congrats on making it to the finish line!  I so enjoyed getting to know you and your mom-thanks for a great session!
