I recently did senior pictures of my nephew Josh. Although I’ve been photographing him for a long time this was special. He has always been such a great kid and is now at Arizona State University. Before I photographed him we talked and he had a lot of great ideas for some shots that he wanted.  I love photographing seniors anyway, but it’s great to get some input into what they are thinking and know that I am creating images that stay true to who they are and how they want to represent themselves. Josh is such a creative and interesting kid, we had a great time incorporating some of his interests into his shots.

I am amazed at his confidence at the ripe old age of 18 and his ability to hang out with adults with ease. It’s surreal looking through the camera at this big 6 foot 4 kid who only yesterday was running through the sprinklers and watching “Veggie Tales” in our family room.  Pretty cool for me to do his photos. He’s my third nephew that I’ve had the privilege of photographing. As I see his photographs, I see the culmination of all those years growing up and see a boy transitioning into a man.
