What a great, well rounded guy Cole is! He plays football (defensive end - check out the damage to that helmet!), basketball, coaches middle school football and is on the yearbook staff. He is a self-taught guitar player and loves to hang out with his friends and play video games. He wants to play college football and major in Engineering. And from what I can tell, he’s extremely sweet and and a little on the quiet side. I just know he’s going to be successful at all his future endeavors! And I’m sure he’ll break a few hearts along the way - he’s very easy on the eyes!

Thank you, Cole, for being such a sport yesterday! And Georgia - thank you for entrusting me with his senior portraits! It was very hard to pick a few for the blog, but here is the sneak peek I promised…

He had to wear his away jersey for these portraits - his home jersey was torn during the last game he played. It must be rough out there - I bet mom prays a LOT!

I will have to start off by showing some of the outtakes. I mean, seriously, look what I had to put up with.

He’s a 2010 senior, plays both offense and defense on his varsity football team and enjoys swimming, camping, going to the lake, movies and of course, football. He has quite the sense of humor as well - I couldn’t tell if he was serious half the time!

Thank you for being such a good sport and for allowing me to be your photographer! See you tonight for part 2!

I love this shot - I tried some different processing for this one.

I hope you all enjoy your sneak peek!!

I had the priviledge to collaborate with another local photograper to play with some off camera lighting on location! The fun thing about studio lighting is that you get to control the light. When you’re on location, you have to look for great light, which can limit where you shoot. But, with off camera flash, you can control the light even in difficult lighting situations! We had a total blast! Our models had fun, too! Here are just a few images from our amazing session. Thank you to all who participated - I hope you enjoyed it at least half as much as I did! And Thank You, Sarah, for shooting with me!

We did a mini session with this amazing senior to round out her senior pictures.  We really wanted to show off her trombone since she is in the award winning Broken Arrow Pride marching band (check out those medals!).  She also wants to join the Air Force after graduation so we went to the Air and Space Museum to get a few shots with the F-14 they have on display there.  Yes, it’s a Naval plane, but it’s still a fighter!  She was so in her element there, I practically had to drag her out of the cockpit!  The simulator wasn’t bad either! 

I rarely meet someone this young with such drive and direction!  She will join the Air Force and major in physics.  Way to go, Natalie!

Thanks, Natalie, for letting me share the day with you!  It was a blast!  And please forgive me for making you drag your t-bone all over Cherry Street!  :)

Awesome Senior Shoot Part 2!
