Featuring: Senior portraits--Blake Duarte

When Blake's mom called to inquire about senior portraits, we spoke for some time and I learned so much about her relationship with her son.  And when we ultimately met to photograph him, I was able to see their amazing relationship first hand.

I can't imagine yet what it's like to have your only child ready to venture off to college and conquer the world, so I watch and learn from the wonderful mothers of the seniors I photograph, so that when the time comes and my own little bird flies from the nest, I might be just a little more prepared.  Maybe.

Thanks to his parents, I feel confident that Blake will be soaring.

Dreaming about the things that could be.

Photographing high school seniors is like standing on the precipice of the world.  I don't even know if that makes sense, I just know that when I'm photographing them, the feeling of the world being wide open for the taking is just palatable.  

Last week, photographing this young woman, with her infectious giggle and beautiful smile, made me think about all the things that could be.  Sophie, you've got this!
