Meet Spencer: Columbus, Ohio Senior Session

Meet Spencer. He's a great looking guy with a killer smile and a seriously kind heart. I first met Spencer a little over a year ago when I shot his mom's beautiful wedding up at Lake Erie. So it was a lot of fun meeting up with him and his family Sunday at The Ohio State University to take his senior pictures.

We started out at Thompson Library and wandered around The Oval for about an hour taking pictures as we went. I love taking senior pictures for one big reason- it always reminds me of what a dork I am. I played tour guide to Spencer as we passed building that, despite attending OSU for four years, I still knew almost nothing about. Spencer was great at playing along and feigning interest though.

I asked Spencer and his mom how they were dealing with the infamous "senior year" and they both mentioned that there might have been some tears on Michelle's part. I personally think that's the best part of senior pictures. For most guys, senior pictures are something you have done because it's required by yearbook and your mom. But for most moms these are pictures that capture a moment in time in your child's life- their appearance, their clothes, and hopefully their personality. My goal is to make the process as painless as possible for the guy and still get those great pictures for mom.

Spencer, thank you so much for spending the day with me! I hope it turned out to be a little less awful than you thought it would be! Good luck with the rest of your senior year and next year when you go off to college, remember to visit home a little more than you think is necessary.

Keep smiling!
