Jack | Warrenton, Virginia Senior Portrait Photographer

Jack | Warrenton, Virginia Senior Portrait Photographer

I met Jack and his sweet family over a year ago when I photographed his sister’s senior portraits at Skyline Drive. I had the best time with Lane and her family and was thrilled they had me come out to photograph Jack’s senior portraits! Plus, I was excited to see everyone again, along with their playful pup Lucy, and document a few family pictures while we were at it. 🙂 While we were running around taking photos, I quickly found out what was Lucy’s favorite treat. You never would guess … Marshmallows! Funny, right?! She even has a talent of opening doors. Glad Pixie cannot do that! Haha!

Jack is athletic, a lover of dogs and is adventurous (judging from his Jeep). When taking the time to get to know him, he has aspirations to attend college and major in business. When I think back to my college days, business wasn’t my strongest point which is ironic. Thank goodness I don’t need to use flashcards nowadays! Although, my business class was a bit of a joke because my professor never came to class unless it was a testing day! Shhh … Don’t tell my parents. 😉 I cannot imagine what Lucy is going to do without Jack around. The moment Jack walks away from her, she starts crying and it melts my heart seeing how much she loves him! Happy I was able to document these special photos of them together, even though Lucy was technically Lane’s dog before she left for CNU. 😉 Haha!

Thank you, Jack and your family, for a fun time! I had a great time photographing these moments for you and your family, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for you! Good luck with your final year in high school and applying for colleges!!! Enjoy this preview from our time together!
