Bryce | Edison High School | Class of 2025

Bryce, a senior in the class of 2025 at Edison High School in Richmond, Ohio, had a one-of-a-kind senior portrait session this past July. The session took place on his family’s breathtaking 500-acre farm in Amsterdam, Ohio. This property, with its open fields, barns, ponds, wooded areas, and scenic beauty, was the perfect backdrop to capture Bryce’s personality, interests, and family history. The farm has been cherished by his family for generations, making it an especially meaningful location.

Capturing Bryce's Style and Story

We began Bryce’s session with him dressed in a sharp gray suit. These portraits included both classic looks and ones featuring his cowboy hat, adding a touch of personality and flair.

Dressed in his scouting uniform, he posed with the welcome sign he created and installed at a local ballpark as part of his Eagle Scout project. This personalized touch added depth and meaning to the session.

These gorgeous dogs were not only photogenic but also an important part of Bryce’s life. The portraits with them are truly heartwarming.

Exploring the Farm

Things really got exciting when we used side-by-sides to explore the property. Our first stop was a field where a John Deere tractor was ready for portraits. With the partially cut field, golden backlighting from the sun, and the expansive landscape, the setting allowed for creative angles and dynamic shots that captured Bryce’s connection to the land.

This area also gave us access to a special New Holland tractor that once belonged to Bryce’s grandfather. Including it in the session added a sentimental element and honored his family’s legacy.

Finishing Strong with Stunning Views

As daylight faded, we headed to another part of the farm that featured a picturesque pond. Bryce’s Z71 Trail Boss truck was parked there, polished and ready for photos. These truck portraits are always a favorite for me, and Bryce’s session was no exception.
