The most frustrating thing about making senior portraits with Wyatt? Narrowing them down afterward. With an easy smile and a natural grace, he’s really good at being in front of the camera. He’s also a super nice guy.


As I photographed him, I sometimes saw flashes of his cousins’ faces, many of whom I’ve photographed over the years. His awesome mom, Lainie, hung back, letting him make his own choices, occasionally offering a great suggestion here or there.




Wyatt’s roots are intertwined with this place, nestled north of the peaks. It’s where he grew up, rode motorcycles, skied the nearby slopes, and tromped through meadows and forests. So, our session there felt like a kind of homecoming.



He brought two of the three (!) vehicles he owns and maintains. When you add the motorcycles and skis, we had a lot to work with. It made it easy to tell the story of some of his many interests during high school. I’m glad we were able to sneak this in. Not long after our session, he graduated and headed off to college to start his next chapter.
