Senior portrait sessions are always special to me. Knowing that these pictures will not only go in all the many different publications and recognitions that seniors participate in, but that they will also be displayed in a family’s home for the rest of their lives, is really special. Of course family portraits are meaningful, but if all goes well, each person only gets one senior year. The images captured in a senior portrait session have an added weight of meaning simply because at no other time does any normal non-celebrity have a portrait session devoted only to them. It’s just a very unique opportunity, and I am honored when parents trust me with these images.

I know Jack to be exceedingly easy going, and his portrait session reflected that. He was willing to do whatever was needed to grab some special portraits, and he made my job very easy. At his private school, he is part of an internationally acclaimed pipe and drum corps, so we spent part of the session putting this side of his academic career on display. I think these images put his relaxed demeanor and quietly cool nature on display.
