Devin - Senior Portrait Session

It is rare that I do senior sessions, but I always enjoy them so much. The chance to collaborate directly with the subject doesn’t happen when I’m shooting babies and toddlers. I was excited to learn that Devin already had a vision in mind for his shoot; he wanted to do the session at his grandfather’s farm and feature his love of cars. The farm was a perfect location! Not only did it have incredible views and a big slate gray barn as a perfect backdrop, but it also had an old, vintage gas pump - perfect for the car theme! Devin even had his outfits planned out!

It was a lot of fun working with him and his mom Lisa. I wish Devin all the best this year and beyond!

Laura - Senior Portrait Mini Session

The Class of 2020 has a special place in my heart for what they’re experiencing right now. I couldn’t imagine having those milestones of senior year taken away so suddenly, especially after all the work they’ve undoubtedly put into reaching them.

I first photographed Laura in the summer of 2019, and we had an amazing session. It was a beautiful evening, and we covered three different looks for her portraits. Then, when coronavirus hit, and everything came screeching to a halt, Laura learned that she would not receive the JROTC portraits that the school had planned on taking, so her mom reached out to me for one more session. I was happy to help her out, so she’d be able to have some pictures of herself in her uniform before she was scheduled to return it.

Our session was super quick and easy, but so important so that she could have these memories captured. I’d be happy to help out any 2020 senior who would like just a few more photos to add to their senior picture gallery. Whether it be a school uniform, a prom look, or a cap and gown…please reach out to me if you’re looking to schedule a mini session to capture these senior moments that deserve to be remembered.

Laura - Senior Portrait Photography

There is something exciting, creative, and fun about photographing a high school senior. Usually my subjects are babies or small children, so I snap away, do my best, and hope for some nice shots. Shooting with little ones is challenging, but so rewarding when you get that shot! However, it is a nice reprieve from my usual work when my subject can understand direction, and collaborate with me on what they’re looking for in a photo.

These photos symbolize an amazing time in Laura’s life. She is on the brink of becoming a young adult. She has an array of opportunities in front of her, and because of her hard work throughout high school, she gets to now choose her own adventure.

For Laura’s session, I suggested starting in my favorite location of historic Harmony. I love shooting there because of the variety of backgrounds you can achieve simply by walking throughout the little downtown area. After some time there, we headed over to the studio for an outfit change, and a few more shots in the nearby natural area as the sun was setting.

It was a perfect session, and Laura looked amazing!

Best of luck to her this year, and in her future!

Brandon - Seneca Valley 2018, Senior Portraits

It's back-to-school time and Fall is in the air (quite literally - the wind was chilly during this session!), and that means time for Senior Portraits.  It was a lot of fun working with Brandon for this session.  Not only is he a talented musician, but he plays hockey for SV, and plans to major in Computer Science.  I wish you all the luck in the world, Brandon!  Enjoy your senior year!
