Hitting the golf course with Lucas

 Senior Session with Lucas from Eastern Regional High School 

Bribery, Golf, and Surprising Fun

Let’s be honest—not every senior is jumping up and down at the idea of getting their photos taken. Especially the guys. And when Lucas's mom and I talked about doing a session for him (since we did his big sister's a few years back), we knew a little  bribery would be involved. 

The deal? He’d smile for the camera if we let him hit the golf course afterwards. Not hard to do since the golf course is his happy place. 

Fair enough.

So we made it happen  - a combo photo shoot and a little tee time. He brought his clubs, and we headed out to capture his laid-back, athletic vibe right where he felt most comfortable—on the green.

And guess what?

He ended up having way more fun than he expected.

And we all had fun racing in golf carts to find the most photogenic hole. Mom got the photos she dreamed of, and he got to sneak in some golf in the process.

Win-win.

It just takes meeting them where they’re at, adding a little fun, and letting them be themselves. We figure this out by having a real talk with parent and senior and let them design a session that interests them.

And lucky for me, Lucas is no stranger to my camera. I've been photographing Lucas since he was a little blondie with straight hair. Scroll down to see some adorable shots of him back then too!
