I can hardly believe I’m sharing senior pictures of our second boy! It seems like just yesterday we were doing this with John, and here we are again, this time with Whit and the Class of 2027.
Our dear friend Kim at Portrayable Photography has photographed our family every year since the boys were tiny. She has captured so many seasons of our lives, from little boys to teenagers and now two high school seniors. I absolutely treasure the years of memories she’s given us, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else taking Whit’s senior pictures.
For years, we’ve planned our family photos around trips to Disney World. In fact, John’s senior pictures were taken at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, one of our very favorite places. But when Disney changed its policies regarding personal photography sessions at its resorts, I knew there was only one way forward. We were bringing Kim to Atlanta!
As luck would have it, Kim also photographs another sweet Disney family we’re friends with, so we made a weekend of it. Two families, lots of pictures and our favorite (and most talented!) photographer. It worked out beautifully!
And since we weren’t taking Whit’s pictures at Disney, it only felt right to choose another place that means so much to him. The golf course!
We headed up to the club at the very end of the day, just as the sun was beginning to dip below the trees. That beautiful golden hour light was absolutely perfect, and Kim captured my baby doing something he loves in a place where he’s spent so much of his time.
I just love how these turned out. They feel so very Whit.
And there’s one little detail that makes these pictures even sweeter.
Just a few weeks before our session, I was cleaning out the top of Whit’s closet and came across a bag of personalized golf balls we’d had made to hand out after he was born. All these years later, here we were taking his senior pictures on the golf course. I couldn’t help but smile at that sweet little full-circle moment.
From celebrating his arrival with golf balls to watching him spend his senior year doing something he loves, it all feels a little surreal.
I absolutely treasure these pictures. Not only because they’re beautiful, but because they capture Whit exactly as I want to remember him at this moment. Happy, at home on the golf course and on the brink of so many wonderful things ahead.
Thank you, Kim, for another year of memories and for making the trip to Atlanta to capture this special milestone. You’ve given us the most wonderful gift in being able to look back at our boys growing up through your lens.
Class of 2027, here we go!
