It's not often that an 18 year-old at a photo session is the one to naturally exude confidence and kindness, but let me introduce you to Johnny.


Johnny is one of those guys you automatically feel comfortable around. It makes sense, since his entire family does the same. As a photographer, it's often my job to help clients (kids and adults alike!) feel relaxed during their session. It's completely normal to feel unsure of yourself in front of the camera and I can tell you that I struggle with that just as much as anyone. But I walked away from my session with Johnny so impressed with the young man he is and the comfortability he exudes. He was at ease, conversational, and just a joy to be around. If I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times - our world is in such good hands with this next generation, I fully believe it. Working with young adults like Johnny gives me such confidence of this.
