Summer Break Fun and Senior Portraits

Summer break is calling, and there are so many cool things going on! With the weather finally warming up and everything in bloom, I’m getting tons of ideas for photo shoots and new creative places for outdoor head shots.One thing I want to remind everyone is that now is a great time to begin thinking about senior portraits. I love working with students and have so much fun helping them pick a style that really shows off their uniqueness. It’s such a treat to capture the inner beauty they don’t even know they have yet.

I love all styles of personal portraits – fashiony, soft, rugged, natural, and downtown/city shots. Outdoor shots are always super fun, and I have a studio for more formal pictures. We can also mix the concepts together by bringing a piece of the studio outside – like plunking a big, over-sized chair into the middle of an open field.

The best part about senior portraits is incorporating what is close to your heart. If you are a guitar player, bring it. If you love horses, let’s get them in the pictures. If you look fantastic in hats, bring all of them and we will find the best. Props are such a great way to help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera and bring a more natural element to the photos. Just let me know what you love, and I’ll find a way to make it work.

Best friend pictures are also great. Friends help each other feel more at ease and playful in front of the camera, and they bring out the natural beauty in each other. After individual shoots are finished, we can also capture a special friendship on film.

To make things easy for students and parents, I’m offering a senior portrait deal where I waive my session fee. And, instead of emailing you a bunch of photos to dig through, I’ll host a private viewing session for a student and his or her parents/guardians. Together you can review photos, choose a photo package and select a design for a professional album that I will put together personally. Check out my senior photo website for more specific information on booking a photo session and pricing.

I’m so excited to help students and parents create a fun, polished look that will help them to capture such an important time in life!
