These sessions are special because they celebrate the juncture of youth and the threshold of adulthood, encapsulating a time full of hope and promise in each young person’s life.

Gage

Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of photographing a remarkable student named Gage from Lakeside High School. His senior photo shoot was held at the scenic Kelly Tareski Photography studio. The setting provided the perfect backdrop, blending natural beauty with rustic charm, ideal for bringing Gage’s personality and interests to the forefront.

Showcasing Talent

Gage is an excellent student and deeply passionate about archery and rifle hunting—a testament to his patience and precision. To incorporate these interests into our session, we used props that represented his hobbies. For example, we included his bow and a selection of arrows for the archery-themed shots, and for the hunting aspect, we carefully arranged his hunting gear to reflect his passion without overshadowing his personality.

Family

Moreover, Gage’s close bond with his family is central to his identity. To honor this, we involved his family in part of the session. This added a warm, intimate touch to the photos, capturing laughter and candid moments that Gage and his family will treasure for years to come. We took several family portraits, and I encouraged interactions that naturally highlighted their relationships, like shared jokes and quiet, reflective moments.

Celebrating Gage

This session with Gage was fantastic because it not only celebrated his achievements and interests but also underscored the importance of familial bonds and personal passions in shaping our identities. The photos tell a story of a young man poised on the edge of an exciting future, supported by his family and grounded in his passions. I am thrilled to share these moments and look forward to seeing what the future holds for Gage. This experience reaffirms why I cherish being a photographer—having the privilege to document and participate in these significant life moments is truly fulfilling.

Preparation and Collaboration

The natural setting beautifully highlighted Gage's connection to the outdoors and provided an authentic backdrop for showcasing his archery skills.

Hunting

To incorporate Gage's passion for rifle hunting, we included some shots of him holding his rifle and surrounded by the lush foliage of our studio grounds. These images captured the essence of Gage's love for the outdoors and his dedication to the sport of hunting.

Mom and Sister

Another important aspect of the session was including Gage's mother and sister in some of the photographs. Their close-knit bond and shared passion for the outdoors made for beautiful family portraits. We captured candid moments of them laughing together and more formal poses showcasing their strong family ties. These images added a heartwarming and personal touch to Gage's senior photo collection.
