Meet Trevan. 

This guy was pretty nervous for his session, rightfully so - some weird lady is going to make me awkwardly smile at a camera. That would make me nervous too. 

But he showed up - and showed out. 

I think there is a perception that senior photos are for "girls." And that is not the case at all. I believe we think that because we mostly see girls doing it, they are running thru a field with wildflowers. 

Guy senior sessions are totally different. They usually have maybe two shirts, if I am lucky and want to get it done as soon as possible, actually they want to get it done before it even starts. 

I knew I wanted to take Trevan to a more "masculine" place. I wanted to break the mold of "senior sessions are for the girls." And let's be honest, we have seen the mountains and trees, open fields, it's kind of next to explore different ideas and places. 

That's exactly what we did. 

I had Trevan meet me on Highway 93 North, where they are storing the rocks for the Whitewater Park. When I saw that area scattered with all these kind of different shapes of rocks I was intrigued. I felt like it would be a great spot that is more masculine and is actually different. 

I think it worked out perfectly. The rocks were great we carefully navigated the area, chose different angles and ideas. Trevan trekked away with me and did anything I asked even if he just couldn't do it. 

He said he was nervous at first. Butterflies are normal. And once he got used to me bossing him around and he could relax knowing I wasn't going to bite, Trevan began to shine. I feel like you can see in the photos the moment he was like, "this isn't bad." 

His smile is contagious.
