In July 2023 many of my worlds collided with a once-in-a-lifetime senior photo session behind the scenes after the close of the CenterPointe Dayton Air Show. I was contacted by a friend-of-a-friend to photograph his son, a senior at Bellbrook High School just south of Dayton Ohio. We discussed the upcoming senior session and how it would take place at the air show. I didn’t really understand how we’d get access to do this, but I trusted his judgement.
There are not enough words to describe how much I love senior photography on the University of Dayton campus. Within the span of two spring weekends this year, I photographed two groups of UD seniors both in groups and individually. I loved this so much because I love senior photos and I worked at UD from 2007-2021. I know and have photographed every inch of that campus. It is amazing to me to get to photograph college seniors at the height of the graduation year.
