Parker | San Juan High School Senior Session

Class of 2023

Parker’s senior session was one of those evenings that felt easy from start to finish. We started our shoot at Army Corps Park in Ripon, a favorite spot of mine for its mix of open fields and textured backdrops, before heading downtown to capture some final portraits in front of the “castle” (a brick and stone building) to add a classic touch to any gallery. The combination of natural light and timeless architecture fit Parker perfectly.

A recent graduate of San Juan High School, Parker balanced a busy schedule of basketball and leadership responsibilities during his senior year. He did all of this with an easygoing, kind attitude that everyone around him seems to notice. He’s one of those people who doesn’t need to say much to make others feel at ease; his calm presence and friendly smile do the talking for him.

After high school, Parker plans to attend community college for two years while deciding what direction he wants to take next. I love that! There’s something inspiring about approaching life with an open mind and the confidence to explore your options. Whether his path leads toward athletics, academics, or something completely new, I know he’ll continue to bring that same grounded, genuine energy wherever he goes.

Congratulations, Parker! You’ve got a bright future ahead, and it was such a joy capturing this milestone with you.
