Urban Rodeo Vibes: A Fairmont High School Senior Photo Session in Dayton, Ohio
At Sheldon James Photography, we believe every senior deserves portraits that capture who they truly are—and this recent Kettering Fairmont High School senior session was the perfect blend of personality, style, and grit.
We headed into downtown Dayton, Ohio for an urban senior photo shoot that highlighted two completely different sides of our client’s identity: rodeo cowboy and classic prep. As a two-sport athlete from Fairmont High School in Kettering, Ohio, he wanted to represent both his rural roots and his professional side. The final gallery gave him exactly that—authentic, stylish, and unforgettable.
Look One: Rodeo Meets the City
Wearing cowboy boots, denim jeans, a Western-style button-down, and of course, his hat, this senior brought the rodeo to the city streets. The textures of Dayton’s brick buildings, metal staircases, and graffiti-lined walls created a gritty, contrasting backdrop that made the cowboy aesthetic pop in a way that was bold and editorial.
Look Two: Polished and Timeless
For his second look, we changed gears with a classic polo and khaki combo. Clean, simple, and timeless—this outfit gave us the perfect opportunity to shoot in brighter light and frame up portraits that will look amazing on graduation announcements, in family photo albums, and anywhere else he wants to show off this milestone.
Celebrating a Fairmont High School Standout
We’re so proud to have worked with this accomplished student-athlete. Between academics and two sports, he’s put in the work—and it shows. Congratulations on a great season, and best of luck as you step into adulthood with the same determination and heart.
