[I have to preface with blog post with an apology. I have been so extremely busy with finishing up senior sessions that I’ve totally neglected my blog for the last month or so. In fact, I’ve been so busy, I think I discovered my limit for senior sessions in order to avoid the dreaded burnout. I’m sorry for not telling all these fabulous seniors’ stories sooner, but I just didn’t have time.]

Chase’s country boy senior session was a bit reminiscent of a session he had had years before with another photographer. His mom came up with the idea to recreate some images he had taken as a young boy. We went to the same location, copied the clothes, the hat and the rope and mimicked the poses. It was fun to recreate the memories for this family a decade later.

In addition to recreating the cowboy images for Chase, we had to take some lifestyle images of him fishing. He loves to fish. In fact, I think by this point in the session, he was more concerned with actually catching fish than he was with posing for me. I’m pretty sure he forgot I was even there. But, I can understand Chase’s love of fishing, because he was pretty good at it. He must have caught about 17 fish during the 30 or 45 minutes that we were shooting at this location.

This is Justin… just Justin. Justin is an accomplished high school student and athlete. He’s a member of the National Honor Society and the president of LaParita 4H Club. He participates on an FFA range team and an ag mechanics team and also shows pigs. If that’s not enough, Justin also competes on the school’s baseball and football teams, and in 4H competitive shooting. Justin is the second competitive shooter I’ve photographed. Justin volunteers his spare time to the St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in his home town.

Justin’s country session was full of boy… big trucks, old trucks, tractor tires, rusty buses and giant logs. We had so much fun during his session talking about mudding, GoPro cameras, flying (and crashing) helicopters and a lot of other boy stuff. After a few minutes, Justin seemed to completely relax and appeared totally at ease in front of my camera. I don’t have the opportunity to photograph boys as often, so when I get one that rocks out the session, it’s always a change of pace. Justin totally knocked this session out of this park from the get go and I can’t wait to complete his next two sessions as he is documenting his entire senior year with me.

Until next time, be positive, happy, healthy, and don’t forget to be photographed.

As best I can remember, Chase is the most bona fide cowboy I’ve photographed—but I have to add—still in high school.  Because back in the day, I used to work for a little rope manufacturing company. If you’re a cowboy/girl, you might just recognize the name Cactus Ropes. While working at Cactus Ropes, I’m going to guess that I photographed some of Chase’s idols in the roping world: Trevor Brazile, Chad Masters, Clay O’ Brien Cooper, Allen Bach, David Key and Stran Smith to name a few. If you’re not familiar with the roping world, these cowboys are like the Michael Jordans of the industry.

Chase, his mom and dad, and I had a lot of fun on this country boy senior session. We included some of Chase’s favorite dogs and horses and shot the session on his grandfather’s south Texas property. Chase was a super trooper and appeared to have fun the whole time, especially when he was making faces at me during my test shots. In fact, he appeared to be having a little too much fun when he was crossing his eyes and sticking out his tongue. At one point, Ada, his mom, asked about the durability of my camera equipment. Ten minutes later and because I accidentally gave it a really good whack, my 24-70mm was dead and has been in the camera hospital ever since. I’m hoping to get it back soon!

I’m looking forward to the next two country boy senior sessions with Chase. However, I’m going to have to cut down on my test shots.
