Brandon is the Osterday baby. The last (but not least!) of Mike and Jennifer’s boys to graduate. I took their family photos back before they had any high schoolers in the house- back before I even knew what I was doing. Yet they trusted me and even let me come back after the first session to get a few “smiling and looking at the camera” pictures that I had missed. And then, one by one, they’ve trusted me to photograph their kid’s senior pictures- their boys becoming men. All three boys are unique and yet, very distinctly, Osterday…

One word to describe me would be eclectic.

I am interested in many different things: golf, band, music, coins, chess, history, math, and science to name a few.

In my free time I like to listen to music when I can…

I listen to pretty much anything.

My favorite kind of music is probably stuff from the 60s and 70s. Beatles, ELO, Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and David Bowie to name a few.

Lately I’ve been listening to ‘Let’s Rock’ by the Black Keys.

 I play the trumpet in the marching band at Fairmont.

I am currently enrolled in the Business Management Program through Sinclair.

I think the most important thing I’ve learned in school so far is financial literacy- like how to do taxes, rent an apartment, and just handling money in general.

The most surprising thing I’ve learned in school is how to talk to people.

After I graduate I’ll probably go to Sinclair for a bit then transfer somewhere.

In ten years I see myself living in my parents basement…

Throwback to that first family session. I may have flubbed the smiling pictures but I still managed to get one of my all time favorites, Brandon with his beloved country and Pooh Bear:

Support local! Check out Dayton’s 2nd Street Market on a weekend morning sometime…
