Waynedale High School Senior

Lately, I’ve been walking down memory lane with so many of this year’s Waynedale High School Seniors, and honestly, I know a lot of them!

This guy is no exception. I can vividly remember watching him play Little League Baseball back in third grade. Honestly, it feels bittersweet that he’s graduating. I’m sure his family shares the same feeling.

James truly fits the description of a gentle giant. Although he looks big and intimidating at first glance, his killer smile quickly reveals his kind heart. Without a doubt, this Waynedale High School senior will be deeply missed by many.

What made his session even more exciting was that James was willing to let me experiment with dramatic lighting in the locker room. I always love when seniors are open to new ideas!

Afterward, James suggested mixing up the session a bit more. So, we headed Downtown Wooster. I’m constantly scouting for new nooks and crannies, and thankfully, Wooster has plenty to offer. As a result, we discovered some awesome new spots for his photos.
