There’s something timeless about senior year, the anticipation, the pride, the bittersweet moments of saying goodbye to one chapter and stepping boldly into the next. Pano, a senior at Poland Seminary High School, carries that spirit effortlessly. From the quiet confidence he brings to the field to the genuine kindness in his smile, he’s a young man who’s both grounded and ready to soar.


We kicked off Pano’s senior session in downtown Youngstown. The city’s backdrop, brick walls, industrial textures, and pockets of golden light offered the perfect contrast to his classic style. He moved through each setting with ease, giving off an effortless cool while still being completely himself. There’s something about urban landscapes that lets personality shine through, and Pano did just that.


From there, we made our way to the high school football field, his second home. There’s a different kind of magic that happens when a senior steps onto the turf. The bleachers, the goalposts, the fading daylight, everything felt soaked in nostalgia. You could sense the memories, the victories, the grit and the growth that happened right there under the Friday night lights.


This wasn’t just a photo session, it was a tribute to where he’s been and a glimpse at all that lies ahead. Pano, thank you for letting me document such a meaningful part of your story. The best is just beginning.
