Charlie | Class of 2015 | Kohler High School Senior Photographer

I first met Charlie almost four years ago when he was with his dad in Madison, standing up for something he believes in and fighting for the rights of Wisconsin’s public workers. At just 14 years old he was far more savvy and politically active than anyone I ever knew at that age. I remember thinking how incredible it was that he was experiencing something quite historic at such a young age. Now Charlie is heading into his senior year at Kohler High School and thinking about where his next journey will take him.  And when I saw Charlie again a few weeks ago, I was reminded why I really love photographing high school seniors.  I get to hang out with some really cool kids, right before they go off and navigate life on their own…and while their adventures will be exciting and fun and scary and even sad at the same time, they will become stronger and wiser and more empathetic and perhaps an even truer version of themselves.  Charlie is such a perfect example of this. He is a really cool kid on the verge of creating some of  his own historic events, which, I have no doubt will be nothing short of incredible.
