Every time I visit the Harju family, I return home with more favorite photographs. I’ve photographed for them several times and have always left with a great appreciation for their kindness and genuine honesty in their love for all living beings, large or small. In the crazy world we live in today, their home provides a quiet oasis as they welcome me back, this time to photograph Colin for his senior photos.

They put their trust in me as a photographer to capture the in-between moments and the authenticity of who Colin is. The whole family joined in as we hiked around their property (cat and dog included!), seeking out the best lighting and textures to use as backdrops. We photographed Colin solo, with the cat (who thought the session was all about him!), with his rescue dog, some images with his bow, and then finishing the session with one of his many horses.

Colin, being confident in who he is, was a rockstar during his entire session! We capture so many great images that I couldn’t narrow down my favorites. Keep scrolling to enjoy a small handful of images that were delivered in Colin’s final collection.
