Meet Tyler B., Class of 2023!

I have a super special senior to introduce to you today....Friends, family, followers- Meet Tyler B., Jackson High School, Class of 2023!

You might be wondering what makes Tyler so special. You might also say a picture is worth a thousand words. Look at these babies!!!

Yep. That's my little senior on the right, with his elementary school best bud, TYLER (!!!), on the left! Wow, how they've grown! Still friends, and still reppin' the class of 2023!

Well, one of the boys has a drastically different hairstyle than the picture above, and I was lucky to get to work Tyler (and his drastically different hair) downtown a few weeks ago. Tyler comes to me as a childhood friend of my own senior, a sibling of TWO seniors I previously photographed, and a friend of our family.

I'm absolutely vibing with this color combo downtown. The pink shirt just brings all the great light, bright, airy natural look that I swoon over and tames down the rich contrast-y tones of downtown buildings.

Don't the pinks and mint-y greens just look great together?!?!? I'm in love with the tones.

Enough of my photographic analysis of this session! The second location we went to was the downtown parking garage. Now, the initial reaction when a photographer suggests the parking garage might be a little bit of disbelief and a bunch of doubt, but I have found this parking garage to be full of fun locations and some of my favorite shots during several sessions.

There is also a lot of street art around downtown Canton that liven up the alleys and buildings. This spot is (was) one of my favorites because I think the colors are absolutely vibrant and catchy. Unfortunately, this is the last time I got to photograph these murals because shortly after they were painted over.

After our downtown tour of streets, alleys, and parking decks, Tyler, his mom, Jen, and I went to Monument Park.

Monument Park has some great qualities that make it a primo location. There is a wooden bridge, a cobbled rock wall, some floral areas, and a beautiful open area above the tree canopy that funnels light into this otherwise dark area tucked back into the woods.

Tyler was more than happy to showcase his favorite soccer player's jersey for some pictures in the park.

Our last stop was the backyard practice goal for Tyler. Something tells me this location was special because many hours were spent kicking and retrieving balls into and out of this net. Tyler showed off some phenomenal foot skills and did a few poses in his soccer team jerseys.

I had a great time working with Tyler and his family for senior pictures. This is the third time Jen and Kevin have trusted me with their family's senior picture needs, and every senior has been just as wonderful as the last! I'm 100% looking forward to everything the future has in store for you Tyler- I'm certain it's full of excitement, wonderful success, and wild adventure! Best of luck as you chase your dreams in the classroom, on the field, and in the great big world!

Meet Logan L., Class of 2023!

Introducing another outstanding senior from the class of 2023! Meet Logan L., Jackson High School Class of 2023!

Logan is another younger sibling of a former senior, and I am so blessed to have clients who continue to trust me with all their photography sessions! I love his mom Tiffany, and older brother (a fellow Buckeye!!) and so it was no surprise that Logan would be a great senior to welcome to my 2023 line-up!

When Logan filled out his client questionnaire, his requests were natural settings- parks, brush fields, lakes and woods. Can you guess what his hobbies are?

If you guessed anything outdoors, you would be right!

We spent Logan's session at Tam O'Shanter Park and Sippo Lake Nature Preserve. I'll admit, I was a little nervous because both locations are outdoors, park-like settings, and finding ways to make each location unique and different would be a challenge. But if you know me......I'm always up for a challenge!

Tam O'Shanter Park offers some structures that other parks don't have. There's a great (long) white fence and a white building with tall columns and black shutters, tall grass, and windows. These make Tam O'Shanter very versatile.

I have never shot a senior session at Sippo Lake Nature Preserve, but I did scout this location and felt like it was a winner based on Logan's interests.

The fall leaves paint a beautiful backdrop, and the lake has some really beautiful open areas with lilypads and views of the sunset.

There is also a building with steps and a wall with some ivy, which provide some visual interest.

Logan's career goals include being an entrepreneur and starting a small business of his own. I'm here for it! I love hearing about young people with big plans and hope he finds all the success he's dreaming about!

Meet Cody D., Class of 2023!

It's time to feature another senior on Jennifer Norch Photography, and this week I've got a great one for you!

Let me introduce you to Cody D., Jackson High School Class of 2023!

Cody comes to me as a sibling of an older brother who I photographed a couple of years ago. He is also a classmate and former teammate of my own senior. It's always fun working with siblings of families I have photographed before, and photographing classmates of my own kids. There is so much talent and personality in these young people, and I walk away from these sessions feeling so renewed and energized about the future of our world!

Cody and his mom, Julie, and I had a great time exploring downtown Canton and finding some local photography hot spots, and chasing this beautiful light.

We finished our session at the soccer stadium. Cody is a team captain for this year's Varsity team, and it was fun to remember cheering for Cody from my son's soccer playing days. There have been so many accomplishments for this class of 2023!

I had a great time working with you, Cody! I enjoyed our senior picture session, and I hope you enjoy your senior pictures! Much success in your future!!
