Reed’s Senior Session | From Suit and Tie to Friday Night Lights

Reed’s senior session was the perfect mix of sharp, athletic, and laid-back. A Class of 2026 senior at Mater Dei, he brought confidence and personality to every setting.

Here’s a closer look at the session:

 

Classic & Clean in Suit and Tie

We kicked things off in the studio with a timeless suit and tie against a rich brown backdrop. The tones were bold and masculine, and Reed wore it all with ease. These portraits had a polished, editorial feel, you know, the kind of shots that never go out of style.

 

Fresh Look with Navy & Salmon
Reed’s salmon polo and navy shorts were the perfect combo for a clean, casual look. Paired with the navy tile backdrop, the colors really stood out and brought a modern edge to the studio setting. These photos showed a more relaxed side of Reed, with easy confidence and a look that felt effortlessly cool.

Courtside Confidence

Next, we hit the gym and locker room for some basketball shots. These images captured Reed in his element — focused, competitive, and calm under pressure. Whether he was holding the ball or gearing up in the hallway, you could tell this sport has been a big part of his story.


 

Friday Night Lights Energy

Reed suited up in full football gear for photos in the hut and out on the field. With a serious game face and a setting full of school spirit, this set was full of grit and pride. These were the kind of photos that felt like a snapshot of a legacy built over years of hard work and dedication.
