This is Nathanael. He is another upstanding member of the class of 2015. And, in case you don’t notice by his photos…he’s got more musical talent in his little finger than I’ll probably ever have in my whole being. I totally envy people who can play multiple instruments. Heck, I envy people who can play one well! Nathanael is another youth group member that dazzles me with his spiritual discipline, Biblical interest and knowledge. He is sweet and helpful, and another senior I’m very proud to know.
We started his session in the park with his guitar. From the photos, you wouldn’t know that the wind was completely reckless on this awesome fall afternoon. But it was. Through the whole shoot I was thankful that he had short hair that didn’t show the wind!
But despite the windy conditions, I’d say this was basically the perfect fall day. Warm and sunny. Totally aflame with brightly colored leaves. Ideal for fall senior portraits.
Since Nathanael was one of my last guys for senior portraits I knew I wanted to take him to one of my most favorite backdrops for boy portraits: The hub cap wall.
I love it. And I hadn’t even used it yet for the class of 2015. So I asked Nathanael if we could make a quick detour before setting up for his drum photos. As you can tell by the photos, he obliged.
{In case you were wondering…this photo, right here, right above, just might be my favorite of all Nathanael’s senior portraits!}
Then, when we were done with hub caps, we headed out of town. You see, earlier in the week I shot his sister Jenna’s senior portraits–you might remember her. At her session she and another sister told me they thought I should have Nathanael bring his drums out into a field. Once I realized that was a possibility he’d be up for, I was all over it. Great idea, ladies!
Thanks, Nathanael, for letting me take your portraits! I had so much fun.
Be sure to check the Facebook page over the weekend for Jenna and Nathanael’s print contests! Be sure to come over and vote to help them each win an 8×10″ print of one of my favorite shots from their sessions.
