Jon, a senior at Louisville High School, is the feature of today's blog and I loved getting to re-live his session.  Jon was the master of seizing the opportunity to make the portrait session his own, and he did it in such a fun way.  We decided to meet at Silver Park in Alliance where we started off with some casual shots of Jon sporting his love of Ohio State, where he may be attending next year to study accounting.  (It is between Ohio State and Bowling Green right now.)

Jon-Mong-Lsvl-2021-1--10 Jon is known for many things, including his fashionable shirts and socks.  The socks are a bit of an obsession, but we will get to that later.  His great sense of style is just a reflection on his magnetic personality.  Friends would describe Jon as funny, trustworthy, and a leader.  Those descriptors are not surprising at all!

So......  let's get back to Jon's fabulous sense of style.  Jon is certainly a bit of a Renaissance man.  Not only is he athletically skilled in various sports, but he is a musician specializing in the trumpet.  This portrait below was my attempt to help show some of this variety because I wanted it to look different than the lighthearted images we had already captured.  Jon nailed it!

Jon-Mong-Lsvl-2021-5--15 Okay..... let's get back to the cool socks.  How fun is this?  Jon has acquired quite the sock collection and we found a fun way to show a little of that here.  I mention we are showing "a little" of that here because this is only a small sampling of the complete collection.  I know it is hard to take your eyes away from Jon's smile, but if you happen to run into him, look down and check out his socks.

Jon, I so appreciate you and the fun we had together!  You are most certainly destined for great things and I will be here to cheer you on.

Love and Smiles,

What did Jon have to say about his session?

I chose Laura Esposito Photography because I like the pictures of my friends that I had seen.  She is nice.  She didn't rush the session so I got all the pictures I wanted.  She made me feel comfortable and put me at ease.  My favorite ones were the ones at the end at the Castle.
