Meet Trent, a senior at Louisville High School, class of 2025. Trent’s senior portrait session was an extraordinary experience that showcased his vibrant personality, interests, and love for his community. Held in October 2024, the session took us through some truly memorable locations, reflecting Trent’s diverse passions and unique story.
In our pre-session consultation, we clearly established our goals for Trent’s session and laid the groundwork to make it happen. Thanks to our clear communication and preparation, we were able to bring all of Trent’s visions to life in his portraits.
We began the session at FFLA Boxing in Louisville, where Trent’s love for the sport came alive in dynamic portraits in the ring. Next, we moved to the feed mill for rustic shots that perfectly complemented Trent’s flannel and jeans.
From there, we visited his home to include his sporty Honda Civic. The unmistakable green color of the car is a trademark of Trent’s, making it a standout feature in his portraits. Nearby, a short walk through a wooded area led us to a picturesque bridge and creek. Here, Trent’s beloved dog, Bella, joined the session, creating heartwarming moments. His orange hoodie and khaki shorts added beautiful color harmony to this natural setting.
Our journey continued to the University of Mount Union campus. The academic backdrop provided a sophisticated touch, and Trent’s denim button-down paired perfectly with the white pillars. As a proud Buckeye fan, Trent also sported his Ohio State hoodie for a series of fun and spirited shots. His Guardians jersey made an appearance as well, reflecting his love for the team.
Finally, we wrapped up the session around a serene pond, capturing casual moments with Trent in his Hollister hoodie. Each location and outfit change added a unique layer to his story, resulting in a stunning collection of portraits.
We recently created the most beautiful portrait album to showcase all of these amazing portraits. It is a priceless keepsake that I know Trent and his family will treasure for years to come.
Trent is an exceptional young man with a heart for his community and a drive for success. His accomplishments speak volumes about his character and dedication:

A Washington Ruritan Rising Senior, Trent has participated in numerous service projects, including building decks and volunteering for the Salvation Army.
He attended the 2024 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, focusing on leadership and personal development.
As a member of the Stark Education Student Advisory Council, Trent has excelled in public speaking and represented his school district in discussions about education and career opportunities.

Beyond academics and extracurriculars, Trent enjoys spending time outdoors, volunteering, and caring for his family, including his grandmother, who lives with them.
When asked who he looks up to, Trent’s answer was heartfelt and inspiring. “One person I look up to is my mother. She is the most amazing person ever. No matter what, she has always been here for me through thick and thin. Whenever I’m feeling down, she always finds a way to make me happy. She has this incredible ability to make any and every situation better. What I admire most about her is how she always puts others before herself. Even if she’s laying in bed super sick, she would still get up and run a marathon for you if you needed it. Her selflessness and dedication to helping others are truly inspiring. She is my inspiration for pretty much everything. I would love to be like her when I am older. Her strength, kindness, and unwavering support make her the person I aspire to be. She has taught me so much about resilience, compassion, and the importance of being there for others.”
“I chose Laura Esposito Photography for my senior portraits for a couple of reasons. First, I’ve seen her previous work, and I was really impressed with the quality and creativity of her photos. She has a way of capturing genuine expressions and making each photo feel special and unique. I had heard great things from friends who had their senior portraits done by Laura. They all had positive experiences and beautiful photos to show for it. So, I knew I was in good hands and that the results would be something I could cherish for years to come.
I loved my whole portrait session. It was so much fun, and we got so much done in just three hours. Laura is amazing and helpful. I love the outcome of my pictures. A spot that I loved and had so much fun in was at the boxing gym. It was so cool, and I was so happy to include that in my session. Some of my favorite portraits are the ones of me on the bridge with my dog Bella and down in the creek with the woods behind me. It is hard to choose favorites because I loved how all of them turned out.
To any future clients, really plan out your three-hour session. It goes by faster than you would think. My mom and I had it planned out to the tee, and everything was ready to go on the fly. It helped us get a lot more done than we ever thought we could. Also, bring hairspray, a lint roller, and water. It is really fun, but you have to be prepared.”
After high school, Trent plans to pursue a degree in engineering, either at The Ohio State University or Marietta College. While he looks forward to spreading his wings, he cherishes the time he spends with his family and friends. His dream is to eventually settle down on a ranch in Texas, Colorado, or Montana, surrounded by his future wife, kids, and dogs.
Trent, it was an honor to capture these moments for you. I know you have an incredible future ahead, and I wish you all the best as you pursue your dreams!
