We have watched him grow up much of his life and seen them over the years for commercial photography and professional headshots for their career and Drum School and family portraits at key moments&#8230;and now the milestone of high school senior portraits for their oldest son, Max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max is an amazing young man. His faith is mature beyond his years, he lives his life with integrity, and he&#8217;s both athletic and musically talented. His athleticism served him well on both soccer and football teams over the years, and he loves hockey as a fan. His musical talents excel in drumming&#8230;no wonder since his dad is one of the top drummers in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max chose Garden of the Gods as the setting for his portraits. He&#8217;s dreaming of the potential of a move to another state as his adult life unfolds, so these senior portraits will always capture the beauty of Colorado Springs and ping his memories of his time in this area. He&#8217;s looking to pursue Real Estate for his career. One of our popular finished pieces for our high school senior families is a framed collage for the wall. It&#8217;s the primary keepsake his parents chose for their home, and we&#8217;re sharing it below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, Max, on your graduation. It&#8217;s been an honor to watch you grow up, to have your family as friends, and to know you as well as we do. Keep your eyes with an upward gaze always. You&#8217;re going to do great things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/12x12-KeepsakeCollage-DeAlmeidaMax-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/12x12-KeepsakeCollage-DeAlmeidaMax-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/12x12-KeepsakeCollage-DeAlmeidaMax-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/12x12-KeepsakeCollage-DeAlmeidaMax-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/12x12-KeepsakeCollage-DeAlmeidaMax-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/12x12-KeepsakeCollage-DeAlmeidaMax-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/12x12-KeepsakeCollage-DeAlmeidaMax-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jonathanbetz.com\">Jonathan Betz Photography | Colorado Springs Photographers | Best Photographer for High School Senior Photography<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pp-fb-like-btn-wrap\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/2026\/04\/23\/max-colorado-springs-high-school-senior-portraits-class-of-2026\/\" data-share=\"false\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-width=\"450\" data-show-faces=\"\" data-action=\"recommend\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have known this amazing family since 2007 when we captured the wedding of Max&#8217;s parents!
