This kid is passionate and good at so many things but his recent passion is pottery. He has this pottery wheel set up in the garage and he loves molding the earth into art!

I captured James a few months ago for senior portraits with his mountain bike, his family and on the local mountain he spends so much time on. In a few weeks I get to capture him in the snow!
Senior portraits are meant to capture these kids in their element, in their happy place, with their hobbies and interests. How fun to look back and see what you were in to and if they are still things you are passionate about. I know I looked at my senior portraits not too long ago and had forgotten I got a picture taken with my camera (film camera that is!). I didn’t remember that!

Thank you, James for allowing me to capture YOU!! ✌ Peace, love and pottery.

A twist for this 🚥Season Senior Tribe member🚥…a letter from her mom. Hard not to cry with this one…

Harley Jo

It’s your senior year!! I had pictured this year being totally different than it is. I use to picture how proud your Dad and I would have been to watch you cross the stage at graduation. And now with Covid, watching you cross a stage may or may not happen. And your dad has passed away leaving us with a hole in our hearts and an empty seat. Even though things are not as we had planned…I do know a few things. Despite my begging you to stay small and stay in princess dress up clothes…you have grown up. You have grown into a beautiful young woman. You are so strong and have been my rock through all my stages of grief. You are smart…just like your Dad. You have even chosen a future path in the Air Force that I know your Dad would be so very proud of! You are kind and have a huge heart. And you have grown up and found so much strength within yourself in the last year. I am so excited to see what the future brings your way. I have no doubt that you will take challenges head on and find great success. And I will be right behind you the entire way! And your Dad will be watching proudly and guiding you as that little voice in your head. I am so very proud of you! When I grow up…I want to be more like you! I love you more than you could ever know. You are not just my sweet, beautiful daughter…but my best friend! I adore you Harley Jo.

A twist for this 🚥Season Senior Tribe member🚥…a letter from his parents. Are you loving these letters???

Dear Garrett,
I just can’t believe that your senior year is here, and already half over. While I am so happy at the thought of your future, I can’t help but want to hold on to you for just a little while longer. You are my firstborn, and even though you came into the world 7 weeks early and scared me to death, I also knew that you were a fighter and had a mind of your own. The doctors said you may meet your milestones late, and you proved them wrong by meeting them early. Determined is a word that I could use to describe every stage of your first 18 years. I know this, your senior year, has brought its definite share of challenges, but your determination continues to show. We have nothing but excitement at what your next successes will be as you become an independent adult. And through it all, I hope you never doubt that we will be here for you through your successes, failures, challenges, highs, and lows. Go out and do amazing things. We love you to the moon and back!
Love always and forever,
Mom and Dad
