I was apprehensive shooting portraits for a long while, but it turns out I really like it!
I mostly shoot teams when the high schools contact me, but every so often a club team or a travel team will have me out. Even though we can have a lot of players to get through I try to make these something special too.
These really are seasonal. I will shoot them any time of the year but because these photos are usually ticketed to be used on Christmas cards, I tend to schedule most of my families late in October and November.
Many of these kids I have watched grow up. Like Taylor, often times the senior is an athlete I’ve shot competing over the years and it’s a treat to celebrate this milestone with them. (…and a little sad!)
