Damian F. loves to hunt and ride on his ATV. So, naturally, he wanted to incorporate his hobbies into his senior portrait shoot on July 18.

We dodged the rain that day, but it was still muddy and the mosquitoes were pestering us as we walked and rode around my parents’ farm in Lebanon.

I identified a lot with this shy and quiet kid who feels most in his element when he is outside. But while I’m used to shooting pictures, he’s used to shooting guns and arrows.

Enjoy your senior year, Damian. Thanks for getting me out of my comfort zone!
