In late March, amidst the vibrant beauty of Grapevine Botanical Gardens in Texas, I had the pleasure of capturing the high school experience of Cole, a friendly, responsible, and thoughtful 2023 senior.

Cole is an impressive young man with a passion for reading, working out, playing baseball, and cherishing moments with his loved ones.

As a homeschool graduate, Cole is definitely prepared to step out into adulthood. I’m thrilled that he decided to wrap up his high school experience with a senior photo session with me! It was such a pleasure to get to know him during our time together.

We originally scheduled Cole’s senior pictures at a different park in Keller, but when it started raining on the day of the session, we were forced to reschedule to the following day at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens.

I was already planning another senior session there, so since he was free, Cole hopped right on over so we could take his senior photos too! It was a gorgeous day, so we had the best time exploring the gardens and were totally okay with the change of plans. It worked out perfectly!

The Botanical Gardens provided a captivating backdrop for Cole's senior pictures. Lush greenery, vibrant blooms, and a serene atmosphere enveloped us, complementing Cole's friendly and amiable demeanor.

Towards the end of the session, Cole put on his Aggie t-shirt for a few college announcement pics. These turned out to be some of my favorites from his session! It’s always a blast to watch a senior guy glow with excitement for what’s coming next in his life!

Throughout the session, Cole's friendly and approachable nature shone through, making it a joyous experience for everyone involved. His mom, filled with pride and happiness, radiated as she observed the process. Thanks for cheering him on, Natasha!

As the session drew to a close, I had the opportunity to sit down with Cole and discuss his aspirations. With a passion for engineering, he spoke excitedly about his plans to attend Texas A&M University. The ambition and determination in his eyes shone brightly, and I was inspired by his dedication to shaping his future.

Thanks so much for choosing me as your senior photographer, Cole! It was such an honor to meet you and your mom, and I wish you all the best as you continue your education at Texas A&M University.
