Working with my class of 2019 Seniors this past Summer and Fall was a real highlight of my year. I mean, I'd say that I had things pretty together in high school, but then I meet these Seniors and feel like they are lightyears ahead of where I was. They are smart and hard-working and involved, and well, I'm getting a little tired just thinking about it all.
Â
 I feel like Seniors guys get a bad rap among photographers - there's this idea that they're super awkward and difficult to pose - and plenty of Senior photographers only work with Senior girls (or at least only share Seniors girls in their portfolios). I, for one, 100% DISAGREE. First of all, just about everyone's a little awkward in front of the camera without some decent direction and reassurance (ahem, yours truly, as exhibit A). And second, and maybe I just keep getting really lucky, but typically once they get confident with a few simple poses, the rest is easy and fun. Can't wait for another year of Senior guys (girls too)!
Â
Enjoy some highlights from this Senior's Lake Oswego area session. Looking though my faves, I remembered that we shot the day after "leg day" for his Varsity soccer team. And call me sadistic, but I did get a tiny bit of a thrill from making him hold a squatting position slightly longer than was really necessary - "you just hold that riiiight there while I slowly adjust a few camera settings..." He was a good sport about it all, and it became a running joke throughout our session. And hey, maybe I've got another career ahead of me as a trainer. Or maybe not.
