when matt’s sweet mom called to schedule his senior session with me i was super stoked. he was going to my my first male senior session. as we got closer to his session i started to freak out a bit. girls are so easy to shoot. they totally want to be there. a million outfit changes, gorgeous makeup and hair, they’ve spent hours watching america’s next top model so they can nail the poses. um, guys? what the heck do i know about making an 18 year old guy feel comfortable while i’ve got a 10 foot lens hanging off my camera and i’m touting them around a busy hill country town while people gawk at them? i was a tad nervous as i headed to greune one saturday in december.

i was totally set at ease when i met matt’s family. his mom, dad and sister were all there to gawk….errrr, support him. and he was totally honest and told me he was suppose to take his SAT’s that morning, and he honestly was looking more forward to that than having me play deranged paparazzi girl.

it was one of my favorite sessions. honestly. so easy going. i loved talking to him and as we talked i could visually see him become more comfortable in front of the camera. after we were done he told me it "wasn’t as bad as i thought"

that completely rocked.

take a peek.
