I strive in each session to tell a story, to create a lasting memory of this time in someone’s history.  Senior sessions are a chance for that young adult to express themselves as they are learning about who they are and who they want to be.  It is an in-between two paradigms in time for the senior and for the parents.  A time of great hope and sorrow.  When I get the chance to capture this for a senior and their parents it is a great privilege.

Kevin and I set out in the morning with some ideas but with no certain direction.  We found ourselves visiting Lucky Park where he spent many hours in the pool as a swimmer who has achieved many awards.  We spent some time at the iconic 29 Palms Inn, photographing near the fall colors and only natural body of water in Twentynine Palms.  Kevin wanted a couple of images taken with the metal art sign that decorates our highway and honors our city’s namesake.  Lastly we climbed some rocks and captured his personality amongst the beauty of the desert.  We even played with his hot rod mustang and added it into a few images too.

Kevin is an avid swimmer. He was ready to represent his high school and class with his letterman jacket.  Also an appearance his ASB shirt.  We even took sometime to sport his school colored beanie to add a little bit of teenager into our session.

In June I get to hang with Kevin and his family as he walks the stage to receive his diploma.  Such an exciting time in life for all!
