This is Cole, Chiawana High School class of 2026!

You guys, Cole is my fourth senior guy over six feet tall this season!  It’s a good thing I take my step stool with me to every session, because my senior guys this year have all been so tall!  They say that the best angle to flatter a body in photography is to shoot down at your subject, and guys, I’m 5 foot 2, so there would be no way I could do that without the help of my step stool!

Cole is an awesome young person–a football tight end for the Chiawana River Hawks!  He loves to go hunting in his spare time, and I can’t help but think he looks ready to just walk off and go hunting in some of these images. I love how natural he looks out there!

We went down to the Chamna Natural Preserve in Richland, and found all the best light in the sagebrush and trees.  We hit all my favorite spots and some spots I haven’t been to for a while, and he brought four different outfits, including his football jersey, so we have so much variety in his final image gallery!

Cole, thanks for being such a good sport, and so chill!  I’m sure the idea of taking senior pictures may not have been at the top of your list, but I hope it turned out better than you thought!  I’ll be rooting for Chiawana football this fall!  Go Riverhawks!
