Please…indulge me. This is a post by a mom. Who is a  photographer. Specifically, a senior portrait photographer. Who has a son…who is…a SENIOR. Class of twenty thirteen. Needless to say, this is a long post with a ton of images. Because, quite frankly, I can’t help myself.

We planned  Jordan’s senior photo shoot around his passions and my vision to capture his passions. One photo shoot actually turned into…three. We traveled to my favorite areas to shoot in and also included a session at the studio. Jordan is as comfortable in a Calvin Klein suit as he is his favorite jeans and Chuck Taylors so we wanted to capture all of his looks. This is actually a perfect example of senior portraits and the goal of capturing the many sides of a teen including all of his/her interests, hobbies and tastes in style and fashion.

Of course as Jordan’s mom I think he’s amazing. That goes without saying. But beyond that I can tell you that he really IS amazing. He is dependable, kind, dedicated and honest. He has a huge heart and is a young man of God, always seeking to do what’s right. To know him is to love him. And as a photographer I have to say he’s pretty easy to photograph.

I hear myself saying the typical statement that all of my clients say…”I can’t believe he’s graduating already”. Time goes by so fast. It really seems like just yesterday that I was going to elementary parent-teacher conferences. And in less than a month…he’ll be entering the big wide world as a young adult.

Ready for my faves? Here they are.
