Doing something different is always high on my list, so when it was discussed that Amanda and I would shoot around the A&R Music Bar where she’d be attending an Icon for Hire concert, I was all in. Especially when we’d be getting into the venue after the band’s sound check and before doors and essentially not only have the run of the place but get a photo with Ariel.

We started with pictures down under an old train trestle and made our way around the alleys and railroad tracks until we ended up back at the venue. One reason I love photographing high school seniors is that they’re usually up for about anything. So, if you’re a teen (or a parent of a teen) who is looking for something out of the ordinary, something that really captures the essence of who you are, please look me up.

Last year, I made Maggie’s brother Will’s senior pictures, so I was thrilled when their mom e-mailed me about photographing Maggie. It’s a real honor to make important photographs of someone’s child, but it’s doubly nice when you are asked to do it for another member of the family.  It was great to see mom Kathy again and to meet the beautiful Maggie, especially since, because of Ohio’s unpredictably unpredictable weather, we had rescheduled our session three times. This day, however, did not disappoint. See for yourself.
