Andrew’s session was a senior session to remember, for sure! Andrew was my very last #classof2024 senior that I photographed. And it was an absolute privilege to photograph one of the most awesome seniors I’ve ever met!!
Andrew’s not just any senior; He’s fun-loving, he’s hilarious, and so very kind… AND he also happened to be the only guy on my class of 2024 Senior Model Team. And let me tell you, he owned his role!
Now, Andrew is the youngest of four boys in his family. I hope that gives some perspective, because from the moment Andrew joined the team, he made it his mission to keep everyone laughing. Whether he was busy hiding all the girls’ phones (because, obviously, that’s hilarious), or entertaining us by belting out One Direction songs on our way to our group photo shoots, he always kept us on our toes. Oh, and scaring people? That was his specialty. I was often the recipient of his antics here. (Let’s NOT talk about those rubber black snakes, can we???). Let’s just say that Andrew was living his best life, being a part of the senior model team.
For Andrew’s senior session, he chose the beach, and it was the most perfect day when his session rolled around. Andrew loves the beach— and on his session day, it certainly brought out his playful side. He arrived with his parents, who are clearly his favorite people in the world. The connection between them was so sweet and genuine. I thought it was so precious when, throughout the session, Andrew would stop for a few minutes just to have some big family hugs. It was one of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever seen at a senior session… so of course, I had to capture it!
Andrew also enjoyed going in and out of the water during his session too. It was cute to see him laughing and having such fun… and trying to get dad wet. And do you want to know what kept me laughing during most of his senior session?… ALL of the epic trash talk back and forth between he and his dad. Honestly, I hadn’t heard banter like that in a while, and it had me cracking up laughing the whole time. He was so much fun!!!
Andrew’s session wasn’t just about capturing his adorable photos, which we did… it was about capturing Andrew’s unique personality and the beautiful bond he shares with his parents. Andrew is the most amazing young man, who brings joy to everyone he meets. He has an incredible family and support system and I know that God has such a special plan for this very special (former) senior! Every moment that I got to spend with Andrew this past year was full of so much joy, humor, and love. Andrew is a true gift to the world!!!
Andrew, you were the perfect senior to close out my class of 2024 seniors. You’ve left an imprint on my heart, and I’m so thankful I got to be a part of your senior journey. So, here’s to you, Andrew: to your laughter, your love for life, and your impeccable taste in One Direction music!! Seriously, you can sing “What Makes You Beautiful” anytime you want to!!!
To those of you reading this today, I hope you enjoy Andrew’s fun, and oh so sweet photos from his senior session. And to all my class of 2024 seniors, thank you for an incredible year. Now, to my 2025 seniors… It’s your turn… Let’s do this!
