We are in the middle of our high school senior portrait season! I never know what to expect when reviewing images from a senior session – EVERY student is different and Wayde has this unique ability to bring out their personality in surprising ways!

I love sitting in with the families as they see their son or daughter transform from a teenager (that they may have had to nag to get up on time for the appointment) into this attractive, confident and sometimes sassy young adult, ready to take on the world! It’s not unusual for a few tears to be shed during the slide show. Most often the Mom reaches for the tissues first. I have seen daughters hide their smile when they hear Dad tell them how beautiful they are and admitting there are too many great choices. There are sons who have to “endure” the acclamations of how handsome they are and the Moms who can’t say it enough! Times, they are a-changin’ and the tradition of senior portraits stops time long enough to help you forget the teenage stress, hectic schedules, college applications, peer issues, and curfews vs family time. These young adults will move on to become productive adults (at least that’s the parent’s prayer) but you will always have the memories you create today of the transformation period. It’s miserable and magical at the same time. We are privileged to provide this fun and meaningful experience for you!
