Connor's Senior Session at Haymaker's Mill 1875

Connor at North Canton Hoover

Some senior sessions feel like work. This one felt like catching up with family. We recently spent an evening photographing Connor, a senior at North Canton Hoover High School, and we're so excited to finally share his gallery.

Connor has been a two-sport athlete for most of his life. Through high school he played both baseball and basketball for the Vikings, splitting his year between the diamond and the court. That kind of schedule takes real dedication, and it shows in how he carries himself.

As graduation got closer, Connor made a big decision: to focus fully on basketball. Choosing one sport after years of playing two isn't easy, but talking with him, it was clear the court is where his heart is.

Next Stop: Mount Union

Next fall, Connor heads to the University of Mount Union in Alliance, where he'll continue his basketball career as a Purple Raider. Getting to play at the college level is a huge accomplishment, and it's the payoff for years of early mornings, late practices and long seasons.

Off the court, Connor will study Business with a focus on Sport Management. It's a perfect fit for someone who has spent his whole life around the game. Whether he ends up in athletic administration, team operations or something else entirely, he's building a future around what he loves.

Connor, we can't wait to follow along. Go Raiders!

Haymaker's Mill 1875 and a Story Years in the Making

We photographed Connor at Haymaker's Mill 1875, a venue owned by his aunt. It gave the whole session a personal touch. Instead of a random backdrop, every frame was set somewhere that means something to his family, and you can feel that comfort in his photos.

This shoot was extra special for us because our family has known Connor's family since we were young. Getting to photograph someone we've watched grow up, as he gets ready for this next chapter, is one of the best parts of what we do. It's not every day a session doubles as a reunion.

Thank you to Connor and his family for trusting us with these memories, and to his aunt for welcoming us to Haymaker's Mill. Congratulations, Connor. We're proud of you!
