::| Tanner | Senior Pictures |::

I know Tanner and his family through work.
I've been lucky enough to get to know the family well. 
And when Tanner's mom found out that I do photography, 
she insisted that I take Tanner's senior pictures when it came time.

That time was a few weeks ago on a cloudy, but decent Minnesota late-summer day. 
We chose Baker Park Reserve for it's lovely woods, beach, and water. 
People all around us were grilling, fishing, boating, and sitting on the beach
 - all while we marked the milestone that is Senior Year.

Tanner had expressed that he wasn't super excited about the prospect of spending 
any significant amount of time in front of the camera, 
but I assured him I'd make it as painless as possible. 
His older sister had a not-so-great senior photographer, 
so we made sure to get the right variety and fun session that she unfortunately didn't have.

I think senior guys are often the most fun to photograph because the more comfortable they get,
the more their attitudes and smiles shift, 
especially as they see a few choice images straight from the camera that look great. 
Senior girls often have tons of ideas, 
and though I love that, I also love the challenge and freedom 
of walking into a photo shoot with nothing planned,
just hanging out in a space and seeing what works.
