Sentimental Senior and Family Photographer based in Glen Allen, VA

Recently, a devoted client asked why I never shared Noah’s senior portraits on my blog. While it’s not for lack of content, I truly just haven’t shared as much lately. Sadly, small business social media and blogging doesn’t seem to reach audiences like it used to. I try and share most of my client work to honor them, but my blog posting hasn’t been as consistent. That being said, please support your artist friends and their posts. It may not seem like much, but a quick click to like their content or leaving a review makes a huge difference for us. But that’s not really what I came to share… 🙂

My Noah. He’s a gentle soul, but also hilarious, wicked smart, and competitive at the same time. In addition to Glen Allen High School, he graduated from The ACE Center’s 2-year Diesel Tech Program with honors, lots of college credits, and all five ASE Heavy Truck Certifications with the highest average in his class. He was offered a position at his first choice of employers and is currently continuing his learning in their Technician Training program. He’s diagnosing all types of diesel machinery and fulfilling his little boy dreams. I love hearing about the new equipment he’s working daily! He was recently given high praise on workmanship from his regional manager. Tim and I are incredibly proud of him!

Noah continues to race with the Virginia Mini Cup Racing Association and we visit short tracks throughout Virginia and North Carolina. He’s rebuilding a third generation Camaro and plans to begin racing road courses soon, too!

So without further adieu, I’m excited to share Noah’s senior portraits! We did several shorter sessions throughout his senior year and I love the beautiful album we created with these photos. Thanks to all who’ve followed his journey over the years!

Historic Tredegar.

Graduation Portraits in front of his Grandmother’s Weeping Cherry tree. She planted this a few years before she passed away.

I’ve photographed hundreds of grad portraits, but not one senior has ever hit me throwing their cap….until my kid!

Only my boy would have to do grad portraits on his dirt bike!

And we threw in a little race session of course!

Studio portraits for the track Jumbotron! We’re obsessed with the first one!
