Connor is a senior at Franklin Regional High School who is graduating this Spring with the class of 2022! He is the quarterback for his school’s football team, and plans to study business post-high school.
Connor chose Oakland for his senior photos. We began at Mellon Institute, then worked our way over to the Cathedral of Learning. There are so many great locations in Oakland for senior photos right within that small area that encompass both architecture and nature!
Leading up to his session, we weren’t sure it was even going to be able to happen. Throughout the week, the forecast was calling for rain ALL day - literally! And then, when the rainy forecast finally cleared the morning of his session, a new forecast of strong winds showed up. Strong winds can sometimes be problematic during a photo session, unless you’re fully committed to that “Beyonce” wind-in-the-hair look. And while I’m sure Connor could’ve pulled it off, it wasn’t really the look he wanted to go for!
Ultimately, though - we did decide together to move forward with the session! And I’m glad we did. We had lots of buildings in Oakland to hide around, and tried to shoot between wind gusts. And Connor was a great sport through it all - we had a great time hanging out with him!
Congratulations on your senior year, Connor!
