Chris | Class of 2019

I’d rather be tired than broke~

Most guys I take photos of are (1) doing it for mom (and we thank you!), (2) just want to shoot and go, and (3) are enigmas — don’t say much and occasionally, I’ll get them to smile. Chris is no different but we had a GREAT session. I love when seniors want to try something different or show a part of themselves. For Chris it was welding, and by the end of the night, that’s when he shined.
