I have been waiting to photograph Jake since I photographed his older sister Taylor for her senior portraits years ago. She was one of our first senior models and her portraits are still hanging on our walls at the studio. I loved working with her family and so when I discovered Jake was a junior (he’s a Class of 2015 student at Durango High School) and wanted to be part of our model program, I was so excited! We added on a sibling shoot to Jake’s senior model session, so come back to view those in a separate blog post. Jake’s session was awesome. He loves Vans, so I spent some time researching and we decided to incorporate all of his shoes into his pictures. Since he also plays basketball, I knew he’s be able to do some cool jumps over his shoes. We did some fun jumps in the studio too and I can’t wait to photograph Jake again for his senior session. I have some ideas for a group guy session too – so make sure to check back because I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot more of Jake!
