Xavier’s Photography All pictures are taken by Xavier. Hello! I’m Xavier, a photographer with three years of experience capturing public events and nature's beauty.

If you see my photos online, please feel free to repost and share my pictures, all I ask is please give picture credit to "Xavier's Photography" Specializing in public photography, I love documenting high school marching band performances, local parades, and whatever I see makes a great photo! I had no idea what I was getting into when I spent a lot of money on a camera in 2022! I just assumed I w

ould be taking photos for my sister's Junior and Senior years in the Dover band! But within a little bit, I had to start my own page “Xavier’s Photography” because it was clear that I had started something so helpful for the local community and parents of local band programs. If you see my photos online, please feel free to repost and share my pictures, all I ask is please give picture credit to "Xavier's Photography"
Thank you for visiting my facebook. I’m excited to share my work with you and hope my photos resonate with the same joy and inspiration that I find in capturing them.

Our partner CJS Photography is taking senior photos!

I know many of you have reached out asking if I could take senior and or family photos. While I do not do them myself, I partner with CJS Photography to help you get those photos.

Take a look at these amazing senior photos and tell me you aren’t interested… I’ll wait! 😆

Unfortunately, I won’t be attending the First Town Days Parade today.

With another day of extreme heat expected, I’ve decided it’s best not to risk overheating myself or my camera equipment. As much as I was looking forward to being there, I think this is the right decision.

I hope everyone attending has a fantastic time, stays cool, and enjoys the parade. I’ll definitely be looking forward to being back next year!

I also want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🎆 Enjoy the holiday weekend, stay hydrated, and make some great memories with family and friends.

See you all at in August! ❤️📸

🎶🌅 Another amazing surprise summer performance is in the books! Tonight I had the opportunity to photograph the New Philadelphia Steel Band at the Atwood Yacht Club, and what a beautiful evening it was. 🥁✨

Between the lakeside setting, the summer weather, and the incredible music, it made for a fantastic night to sit back, relax, and enjoy another outstanding performance by these talented students. There's just something special about hearing steel pans on a summer evening by the lake. ❤️

These last two performances weren't originally on my schedule, but I'm certainly glad I decided to go. Sometimes the unexpected events end up becoming some of the most memorable for me.

As always, it was a pleasure getting the opportunity to capture these moments and preserve the memories for students, families, and friends. 📸

The full gallery from tonight's performance is now on my website under the posts page.

Feel free to tag students, parents, family, and friends so everyone can find their photos! 🎶📸🥁

🎶🌅 Surprise! This one wasn't originally on my calendar, but tonight I made the trip to Tappan Lake Park & Marina to catch a performance by the New Philadelphia Steel Band! 🥁✨

Between the beautiful lakeside setting at the beach, the summer evening, and the unique sound of the steel pans, it turned out to be a fantastic night to sit back, relax, and enjoy some great music. Sometimes the unplanned events end up being the most memorable! ❤️

One of the fun parts of the evening was riding the bus with the students to and from the performance. Perks of being a staff member in the district, I guess! 😄🚌 And the best part? I get to do it all again tomorrow!

I'll be back with the New Philadelphia Steel Band tomorrow evening as they perform at the Atwood Yacht Club. Looking forward to another great night of music! 🎶🌅

As always, I enjoyed having the opportunity to capture another performance and preserve the memories for students, families, and friends. 📸

The full gallery from tonight's performance is now live 👉on my website!

📸❤️ Looking Back at another Incredible Year

As I was scrolling through my folders tonight, I couldn't help but stop and think about just how many amazing moments I've had the opportunity to capture over the past school year.

From football games, marching bands, concerts, parades, graduations, choir performances, community events, ice cream socials, holiday celebrations, and everything in between, this year has been filled with memories I'll never forget.

What started as a trial hobby has grown into something I genuinely love doing. Every event tells a story, and every photo captures a moment that can never be recreated. Whether it's a senior's final performance, a graduate crossing the stage, a parade marching through town, or a student performing under the Friday night lights, those moments matter, and I'm grateful every time someone trusts me to capture them.

This year alone, I photographed events involving Dover City Schools, New Philadelphia City Schools, the Dover Band Program, choirs, community organizations, local celebrations, and so many incredible students, families, directors, teachers, and community members throughout Tuscarawas County.

To everyone who has supported Xavier's Photography this year...thank you!

Thank you for the likes, comments, shares, messages, and words of encouragement. Thank you for allowing me access to your events. Thank you for trusting me with your memories. We hit over 500 followers on Facebook this year, that's a huge deal!

When I look at this collection of albums, I don't just see photographs. I see friendships, traditions, accomplishments, celebrations, and memories that deserve to be remembered.

If you're ever looking for photos from an event, all of my galleries can be found at xaviers-photography.com.

While most of the 2025-2026 school-year events are now complete, there is still one more event left on my calendar before the next school year begins: the First Town Days Parade. After that, it'll be time to start preparing for another season of football games, marching bands, concerts, and community events.

Thank you all for being part of the journey. Here's to another year of capturing memories. ❤️📸✨

🎺❤️ That's a wrap on the 2025–2026 season.

It's honestly hard to believe how fast the year went.

Looking back through this year's galleries, it's amazing to see just how many events I went to. From football games, Monday Night Lights, Band-O-Rama, rivalry week, parades, concerts, Pantasia, graduation, and everything in between, this season was filled with moments worth remembering.

As a DHS graduate myself, getting to spend another season around this program feels a little less like "covering events" and a little more like continuing a tradition I care deeply about. Being able to come back year after year and document the students, performances, friendships, and memories that make this program special is something I'll never take for granted.

Thank you to the students for giving me so many incredible moments to capture (for you and your parents!)

Thank you to the parents and students' families for the support, kind words, comments, and shares throughout the year. Thank you to the directors and staff for always welcoming me and allowing me to do what I love. And thank you to everyone who took the time to view, share, and enjoy the photos.

I captured another year in the story of the Dover Band Program. Watching one group of seniors finish their journey while another group prepares to step into leadership roles is something that never gets old.

To the Class of 2026, congratulations, and thank you for letting me document part of your journey.

And to everyone else, enjoy the summer. Before we know it, band camp will be here and another season will begin.

Thank you all for another unforgettable year. ❤️📸🎶

All of the pictures from this season are on my website --> xaviers-photography.com, and are located in the "DHS Bands: 2025-2026 Folder"

See you in August for the 2026–2027 season and my fourth year of Xavier's Photography!

Another great summer evening with the Dover High School Jazz & Steel Bands at Tuscora Park! 🎶🌳🎷🥁 The combination of live music, beautiful weather, and one of the favorite gathering places made for a perfect night in the park. ❤️

From energetic jazz selections to the unique sound of the steel pans, both groups put on outstanding performances and kept the crowd entertained all evening. It’s always amazing to see the community come together to enjoy great music and support these talented students. ✨

Events like this are a great reminder that some of the best summer nights are the simple ones. With good music, good company, and a relaxing evening outdoors. 📸
