I first met Mitch last fall, when I photographed his super awesome girlfriend’s senior session (Hey Lauren!!). I remember during Lauren’s shoot that Mitch mentioned he was on the bowling team for Bettendorf High School and my wheels immediately started turning. I LOVE taking an activity or sport and thinking outside of the box a little bit and I’ve never had the opportunity to do a bowling shoot. Hmmm… “Mitch, have you had your senior photos done yet?”
When I got a call from his mom the next week I was so excited. Not only did I get to work with Mitch and Lauren again, but we would be able to rock the bowling images.
The day that we met up for the first part of Mitch’s session was awful. It was around thirty degrees and sleeting for the first 45 minutes of his session but my fall had gotten so busy that I didn’t have a rescheduling date available so we worked through it. Karen, (Mitch’s mom), Lauren, Mitch and I went from location to location, taking some much needed warm up time in our respective cars and I have to say, Mitch was a serious trooper. It was such a windy day, but you’d never know that Mitch was dealing with the wind and cold by the way he rocked it! We met up for the second half of his session in January at Miller Time, where he bowls regularly. This was my first time on the wrong side of a bowling lane, but it paid off. Literally, within minutes of posting Mitch’s bowling teaser, the image got picked up and circulated by a national high school senior photography affilate, which is awesome. Below are a few of our favorites from his sessions – enjoy!
