Dimitri- Senior Portrait Session: Conroe High School

Working with High School Seniors is always a fun experience and working with Dimitri fit the bill.   He is an amazing young man.  Soft spoken and kind, wise beyond his years and easy to be around.  Dimitri met me at the high school football stadium on a beautiful afternoon in Texas.  The sun was shining, but Dimitri's presence could outshine any sun!

We started his pictures on the football field.  A place in which he is very comfortable.  I think I enjoyed it just as much as he did... let's face it, it has been a long time since my feet stepped onto a high school football field!  He is also academically gifted and takes his studies seriously as one day he wants to study law.

After spending some time at the school, Dimitri followed me to downtown Conroe.  As we worked, people kept calling his name and saying hello.  It is obvious that he is a well known and very liked young man.  We discussed the places that he has lived, his plans for his senior year and plans for his future as a college man.  He spoke with hope an anticipation for his future.

After shooting his pictures I found out something absolutely wonderful about Dimitri.  He was officially adopted this past Thursday and now has a wonderful family to call his very own.  In the words of his new Mom, Sandra... "Dimitri is an excellent young man and an important member of our large family.  We are so proud to call him son."

Thank you Dimitri for sharing your afternoon with me!  It was truly wonderful to meet you!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our time together...
