I have had the privilege of photographing Tayem every year since 2020 and it’s been such a joy to watch him grow up in front of my camera. From those early sessions when he was just getting used to having his photo taken to now for his senior portraits, it’s incredible to see how confident and comfortable he’s become. There’s something so rewarding about seeing that transformation happen year after year and Tayem is the perfect example of why I love what I do. He chose to take his senior portraits at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, just like his older brothers did. I love that they kept that tradition and all of their senior portraits are consistent in such a sentimental way!

By now, Tayem knows exactly what to expect at a session. He’s relaxed, easygoing, and not afraid to speak up if something feels off or if he has an idea for a pose. That kind of collaboration creates photos that feel genuine. Tayem’s senior portraits reflect who he is right now and that authenticity really shines through in his images. Can you spot which pose was his idea?

Over the years, I have also had the pleasure of getting to know his sweet family. They’re one of those families that just radiate kindness. Earlier this year, I photographed his cousin’s senior portraits, so it was extra special to have the chance to photograph Tayem this year and continue capturing milestones for their family.

Tayem, thank you for trusting me with your senior portraits and for letting me be part of your story all these years. Photographing you year after year has truly been an honor and I can’t wait to see all that’s ahead for you!

Always happy to include a family photo at any senior session! They’re only seniors once!
