Although I specialize in wedding photography, I enjoy taking on a handful of Senior Sessions each year to capture beautiful portraits during this milestone of their life. I absolutely love coming along side them and have so much fun capturing their personalities in each shot we take. With everything going on this year, I wanted to take the time to honor these seniors. It’s been tough on them, but they have shown resilience while ending their senior year in a way they never imagined. I am proud of each of them and they deserve recognition for all their hard work and completing their senior year in such a way that has tested and refined them! Here is each Transparency Senior and a couple details they shared with me.
Kenzie Seyfang: Miami Trace High School
Kenzie plans on studying engineering at Miami University. She was on the school’s tennis team and was chosen as the lead role of the school’s spring musical, Footloose. Kenzie enjoys hanging out with her friends, watching Netflix and scary movies, and going on trips to Chillicothe or Grove City.

Kara was also in a variety of clubs such as Hi-Y, DECA, student council, Youth in Government, and Academy of Scholars.

These boys do so much together. Simon and Henry both ran cross country and track and played on the Varsity soccer team.

In his free time, he loves going to the gym, hanging with his buddies, and fishing.
He was recently diagnosed with Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare disorder in which too many infection-fighting cells are produced and activated, causing organ inflammation and damage. By purchasing a t-shirt, you are showing support for HLH Awareness as well as Garitt and his family, who are loved by many! All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly back to Garitt and his family. There is also a button to give a monetary donation if you wish! Place your order here.
