Let me introduce you to Luke. He’ll be starting his senior year in just a few weeks at Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma.
I had the privilege of shooting his older sister’s senior portraits a few years ago at Pt. Defiance. The park holds special memories for this family, and they chose this location for Luke’s session as well. Luke’s mom, Brynn, told me that he wanted shots that incorporated brick work, so the Pagoda was a great place to start.
Even though I had a recent session here for another Bellarmine guy, we were easily able to give Luke’s session a different look. Point Defiance is so versatile!
Luke has played both football and basketball with the Bellarmine Lions but has decided to focus on basketball this year. Luke also mentioned that he would like to get more involved with community service this year through the school’s Ohana Club. Finally, Luke remembers what it was like to be a new freshmen and the positive impact the seniors had in making him feel a part of the Bellarmine community. He wants to pay it back this year with an opportunity to mentor the incoming freshman class.
Luke is really tall, so this one of several shots during the night that was taken on my tip toes! I did have a step stool in my car, but we managed to make our significant height difference work just fine.
Once again, Owens Beach was a popular spot on such a gorgeous summer evening, but the tide was out just enough to give us a little bit of beach along the boardwalk.
Thank you, Luke! You did a fantastic job! Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, and I wish you all the best for a memorable and successful senior year. Go Lions!
