Join me in congratulating Ryan Knotowicz Class of 2020 senior from Wayne Central High School! Mom informed me that he received an Advanced Regions Diploma and finished up on the honor roll. Throughout the spring semester of quarantining, this young man kept up a positive attitude and completed his senior journey. Now he's heading off to SUNY Polytechnic Institute to study Mechanical Engineering Technology. Phew! Way over my head!! Awesome job Ryan!

Ryan and his mom chose the Classic Session which allows for an hour on my wooded property. Hunting is one of his favorite things to do so we also incorporated some dramatic lighting in the woods for him to display his bow technique. I'm able to take advantage of some structures around my home to give a different feel beyond the "park-like" images too.

Quiet, but confident, Ryan did a terrific job. I know he'll be successful in all he chooses to do and I wish him the very best. I want to thank he and his mom for choosing Hayes Photography for their senior portrait needs.

Congratulations to Alessandra, Class of 2020 senior! This beautiful young lady is headed to RIT in the fall to study computer science. As a member of the National Honor Society, Science Olympiad, Math League and the Rotary Club, she graduated with a Summa Cum Laude and has demonstrated a high level of academic achievements, the desire to help others, along with a civic mindset. She's an athlete as well playing soccer for her varsity team at school and travel.

When it came to senior portraits, Alessandra wanted somewhere outdoors that was beautiful and interesting. Warner Castle at Highland Park was just the right fit. We had a wonderful day with sparkling light that suited her sparking smile perfectly! She was so relaxed and did a great job.

All the best to you Alessandra on your future plans for school and beyond and thank you to the family (Alessandra is a twin and I'll be featuring her brother in my next post) for choosing Hayes Photography!

If you know this girl and want to leave her some love...DO IT!!!
