A 2023 Senior Photography Moment

Most of my work is fine art and landscape photography, but I do enjoy the opportunity to do portrait photography.  Camryn's mom asked me to take her senior photos, and we had a blast that day. I love taking senior photos, and capturing that special moment in a young person's life as they start their journey into adulthood. What's really fun is parent participation during the photo session, as its a shared opportunity for the child and parent to work together on something special one last time. Moms and dads are often pleasantly surprised when I ask them to hold a reflector, shade or light and  participate in the shoot. 

The parents understand the importance of the moment, and the kids will eventually look back and understand as well. 

If you would like a senior photo session, or any portrait needs, please contact me below.

Welcome to the Wiregrass, a place where abandoned doesn't always mean vacant, and vacant doesn't always mean empty. Nestled between Florida's sugar-white beaches and the agriculturally rich Black Belt, there exists a land of endless peanut fields and high cotton. This is the deepest of the Deep South, Dixie's last stand before accents and culture take on a decidedly Northern flavor along the Gulf Coast and Florida Peninsula. Narrow asphalt ribbons wind through this region's pine forests, passing through small farming communities that are fighting for survival in the global economy.

The lingering aftershocks of the 2008 economic crisis and 2018's Hurricane Michael still reverberate here. These pressures, along with an aging and declining population, have created a region where abandoned buildings are commonplace. These forgotten structures speak of dreams lost; from crumbling sharecropper shacks, to desolate main streets, to modern homes where the owners simply moved on. Take a journey with award-winning author and photographer Brian Braden as he chronicles the slow-motion apocalypse of abandoned homes and businesses of the Wiregrass and also discovers a place of hope and transition, where citizens fight to revitalize their hometowns and preserve a rich cultural heritage.
