Getting to photograph and spend some time with Matthew was such a treat, especially since I’ve worked with his Mom, Michelle, over the past three years. She’s the behind-the-scenes mastermind that makes the world go round for the girls basketball organization I coach. Despite that, I really hadn’t spent any time with her family until Matthew’s senior portrait session.

Matthew is an athletic guy who was none too excited about senior portraits—sound familiar, boy moms? This is pretty typical of most high school senior guys, but I have to say, I don’t think I tortured him too much. I mean, that’s a pretty winning smile he’s showing off. With his senior portraits checked off the list, Matthew is now off to Baylor!
