Ghetto Cowboy

Two years ago I had the privilege of shooting Trey's sister's (Charity), Sr Portraits.  So as you can imagine I was thrilled when his Mom contacted me about shooting his!

 From start to finish Trey was a good sport (no pun intended).   For the first set he wanted to show off his beloved Arkansas colors (BLEH!!!) so we went to a side ally off our local town square for the perfect setting.

This wasn't what I'd intended for this pose but I do love the way it turned out!  

Trey found out that just because he was um... coerced into having his Sr Portraits taken didn't mean it was going to be boring.  He even got to shoot a few hoops for this session! 

The lay-up... don't ask me how many times we shot this to get  what I wanted!

I almost felt like I was shooting a subject with multiple personalities.... minus the creepy psycho killer...

We literally stepped out of the ghetto and on to the farm during this session!   I think I'm going to send this one in to a Western magazine...
love how the little bit of noise on the image gives it rustic cowboy look.

All that's miss'n is the horse...
We actually shot a few frames with a horse named Sassy, and they turned out great,
 but I had to stop somewhere!

Love the rustic setting for this set!  We shot on my Uncle James' 400 acre farm/ranch.
Would have loved to've shot some frames of the guys out rounding up cattle,
 but we were running short on sunlight as it was.

Trey brought his own props to the session which I greatly appreciate!  It's  always good to have something they're comfortable with... it's wonderful to be able to capture their essence.

No joke! I had no idea this grain silo had the word "senior" printed on it!
 It was the perfect ending to the perfect shoot.
