This post is way over due, but I guess it’s better late then never! This young man has already graduated high school and is enjoying his summer. Granted, we did get together in April to capture these shots, so he was still a senior at the time! No he’s officially a college freshman!
We spent some time wandering around his property, which was great! I love when a client has somewhere different and fun to shoot! I’m always open to their suggestions!


People always worry their property isn’t good enough. In most cases you only need small areas to work with. These next shots were taken right on their porch. Nothing fancy, just some awesome stone work, some benches and some smiles! All you need for great photos!
If there is a little more to the location, it’s fun to bring that into the background! Who doesn’t love a red barn!
If you’re local, you might recognize Ben. He’s done some pretty amazing things in his young years! Apparently the jacket he’s wearing in this next shot is pretty hard to get! I should have took notes on everything he’s accomplished – very impressive!
The other nice thing about shooting at your house is the ability to convince the rest of your family to gather for updated family shots. My sessions can be pretty flexible, allowing for the addition of props or other people! Ben’s family took advantage of the opportunity to grab a few shots together.
I thought it was awesome that they all wore their Caltech gear! Such a great family shot to reflect this important time in their lives! Their oldest is about to head to college and they couldn’t be prouder! Love it!

Of course, we had to showcase the man of the hour!

Best of luck Ben! I’m sure you’ll continue to succeed in all you do! Have fun at college!
