Kole | Senior 2020

Graduation time is always so memorable; but for the Class of 2020 their Senior Year will stand out just a little bit more than all other graduating classes. When the COVID-19 crisis began to progress in our area early this spring, my heart immediately went out to all high school seniors. My heartstrings tugged a little bit more for my seniors who I’ve had the wonderful privilege of photographing this year. At each of their sessions we talked about their plans for the rest of their senior year, graduation, and what they’re going to be doing this summer. Sadly, most of their plans were changed due to the worldwide pandemic we are facing. However, with everything that is going on, I think the Class of 2020 has handled it very well. 

     This is definitely the case for Kole and his session. We’ve been planning his Senior Session for months. However, when COVID-19 came into the mix that changed our plans ... several times actually. After the stay-at-home order was lifted and we were given the green light to proceed with his session, Mother Nature decided to step in and mix it up a bit more with some inclement weather. Needless to say this guy handled all of the changes and rescheduled sessions like a champ. 

     The day of his session arrived and I couldn’t have hand-designed more perfect conditions. It was a beautiful evening and Kole was an absolute dream to work with! At the start of his session he was going through the different items he had brought with him to change into. Once I saw that one of the items was a FRIENDS sweatshirt, I knew we were going to have a lot of laughs that evening. I really enjoyed walking around downtown and listened as he excitedly talked about his plans for the future. Of course, we couldn’t end his session without mentioning our favorite FRIENDS episodes and quotes. I mean, who doesn’t love the one where Ross gets a spray tan or whitens his teeth way too much? Ha! Good times and lots of laughs indeed! 

     Kole, I wish you the very best as you close this chapter of your life and embark on a new and exciting one. I hope you have a wonderful time at your graduation in August and enjoy every minute of it. You definitely deserve it! 

     Without further ado, I give you a few of my favorite images of Kole - Senior 2020. Enjoy and I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
