Dylan started out his session in a suit—talk about classy! Despite the serious appearance, he was just as easy-going as most other senior boys I’ve met. It can be hard as a photographer to capture natural smiles and genuine emotions, especially when the subjects are nervous, but Dylan had plenty of authentic looks to capture! I always love when seniors visually express their personalities with unique props or outfits. Dylan, a hockey fan, was happy to wear his Dallas Stars jersey for part of the shoot. By the end of the session, I think Dylan felt totally comfortable and may have been enjoying himself some! Although, now that I think about it, this was probably because of the “prop” and locale. His rooftop Jeep images are some of my favorites—you can’t get much cooler than that!
I seriously loved having Dylan’s mom, Kim, at the shoot. I’ve come to realize that the kindest people I know have one thing in common—they simply tell the truth. I quickly discovered that Kim falls into this category of wonderful people. I’ll never have to wonder if she truly loves these images. If our session didn’t reflect who Dylan is, I know for a fact she would tell me. I appreciate that kind of honesty, and I’m so glad that we were able to capture the best of Dylan in his session!
