We met Paul at his high school football stadium, Don Shows Field, home of the West Monroe Rebels to start his senior portrait session. I do have a memory or two of Don Shows Field as a former C.E. Byrd Yellow Jacket football player, but, unlike those painful memories, today’s session was tons of fun! Paul was very easy going and laid back despite the howling wind and low temperatures! Here are a few favorites from the first part of his session!

After the stadium, we made a random stop along the way and captured some great photos near downtown. Nicole spotted this little nook, and it turned into some killer images!

The best part of the session was when we headed down I-20 to Ruston and the Ruston Regional Airport where Louisiana Tech has it’s aviation department. See, not only is Paul a football player, he is also a pilot! He’s logged several flight hours and is well on his way to becoming a full-fledged pilot! So, of course, we had to get some plane photos, and maybe, just maybe, we had to bust out the lights for one or two epic shots!

Paul, thanks for being such a great sport and having fun at your photo session! It was such a pleasure to spend the afternoon with you and your mom!
