I’ve had the privilege of photographing Max for over 10 years—watching him grow from a little kid into the thoughtful, accomplished young man he is today. This senior session was especially meaningful for me, not just because it marks a big milestone, but because Max has always been such a kind, easy-going person to work with. Let’s be honest—senior boys don’t always jump at the chance to have their photos taken, but Max showed up with a smile, ready to take on the session with enthusiasm and grace, which made the whole experience even more special.

I still remember when Max was just a little guy, running around in front of my camera with that contagious smile of his. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to capture him at every stage. Each session was a reminder of how fast time flies, and seeing him now as a high school senior is such a surreal and special moment for me. I’ve watched him grow into someone who not only excels in his own pursuits but also remains grounded and kindhearted, always a pleasure to work with.

When it came time for Max’s senior photos, I wasn’t sure if I’d get the typical ‘I’m only here because my parents made me’ vibe that I often encounter with senior boys. But Max was different—he was eager, cooperative, and actually had fun with the whole process. His positive energy made the entire session feel effortless. It’s not often that I get a senior boy who’s truly excited to be there, and his relaxed attitude definitely made the experience memorable.
