Tommy Botello Photography

Jake is incredibly talented both on the court and track, as well as in the classroom having earned being a valedictorian at McMinn Central High School. We had good times in the gym and at the football stadium during his senior session. He's got a bright future ahead of him, congratulations Jake!

Ryne was named after one of my childhood favorite baseball players, Ryne Sandberg. I got to capture some absolutely banger shots on the very same field I played baseball on at McMinn Central High School, along with Ryne's dad, many moons ago. We had a great sky to play along with for some great light.

I had a great time photographing Andrew for his senior session both on the courts, and off. It's kind of funny seeing Andrew being serious in some of these shots, because he's ALWAYS smiling whenever you see him. I think he pulls off the serious look pretty well though. Congratulations to Andrew and the rest of the class of 2026!

NOW is the time to vote! Before, I was asking for your nominations just to be included on the ballot. You all came through for me then, and I thank you. I'm on the ballot! Now, this is where I ask you for your votes...EVERY DAY for the next two weeks if you can. It will literally only take you a few seconds to do. You'll find Best Photographer within the PEOPLE category. Because of you, we brought home 1st place last year and together, I think we can do it'll again in 2026. There's a lot of great talent in the Photographer category.
