Senior Twins | Aaron & Ethan – Class of 2026 | Lyman Hall High School

When Aaron and Ethan’s mom reached out, she mentioned the boys wanted something outdoorsy and rustic for their senior session — and that they hoped to include their fishing poles, one of their favorite pastimes. I immediately thought of Chatfield Hollow — the perfect spot with its woodsy trails, stone bridges, and that beautiful pond. It couldn’t have been a better fit for these two!

We explored the park together on a perfect fall afternoon, and yes… I may have ended up standing in the water to get the shot (and it was definitely chilly!). But like I always say — I’ll do what it takes for the perfect photo!

Aaron and Ethan are both incredible athletes. In the winter, they shine on the Track & Field team, where they helped lead Lyman Hall to a State Championship this year! They both compete in the high jump and long jump, and plan to continue competing at the collegiate level after high school. They’re currently in talks with coaches at UConn, URI, and Southern, and I have no doubt they’ll be an asset wherever they choose to land next year.

Ethan is a standout jumper — winning the High Jump at the 2024 CIAC State Open and placing 2nd at the Hillhouse Invitational. Aaron is right there with him, placing 3rd at the State Open, while also competing in the long jump and 300m.

When spring rolls around, the boys trade their spikes for baseball cleats — and once again, they deliver! This year, they helped bring home the 2025 CIAC Class L Baseball Championship, and I was lucky enough to be there to watch them seal that victory. Ethan shines at second base and Aaron covers center field — both with the same focus and drive they bring to every sport they play.

Thank you, Aaron & Ethan, for letting me capture this special milestone for you both. You have such bright futures ahead, and I know wherever your paths lead, you’ll continue with pride, determination and hardwork!
