Fabulous Senior Session

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Alive here . . . and well. Sorry about the lack of posts. I have written many in my imagination, and just haven’t had the time to make them real. I have restructured my day a bit, and it means less time on the computer during primetime-kiddo-time. So far it is going well, but it means that during my work time I have to get down to business, and there’s not a lot of time left for blogging. Anyway– I have been SO excited to get these pictures of beautiful P. up here . . . enjoy!

{Isn’t she radiant? The breeze picked up JUST as I clicked the shutter. }

Thanks to P. and her lovely sister assistants- her mom and sis . . . it was such a great shoot, and I am thrilled at how many stunning images we created! Good luck with graduation this upcoming week!!

Technical stuff: all of these shots were captured with a canon 5d, 70-200 f/2.8L, in natural light between 7-8pm (most of them in the shade with the use of a soft gold reflector to bounce a little bit of light back into her eyes). Yes, I am in love with the new lens–it is a dream. I have quickly forgotten that it weighs 3.5 pounds. :)

On the Eve of Eighteen

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

D. was pretty excited about turning 18 the next day, and about going to prom the day of our shoot. He was all decked out in his black tux–but he left his tie at home for a bit more dress-casual look. Then again, maybe he just forgot it? 😉

So we set off on an urban adventure. The shoot even included a few images with his lovely camaro. One really fun thing about seniors is that they are ready for an adventure, and they don’t usually have a notion of how a shoot is “supposed” to be. It makes it all the more feasible to create unique images for them, all the while allowing their individual personalities to shine through. This was certainly the case this day.

{Congrats D. on your upcoming graduation!! You really are a neat guy–and I appreciate your willingess to have a little fun on your shoot!}

Stunning Senior, Adventurous Shoot

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

I truly enjoy senior sessions. For me it feels like a mini-field trip. It is a quest to find great light, fun locations and to capture the teen’s personality. This shoot was no exception. Here are some of my favorites- though I could easily post my next 10 favorites and they’d be just as fun.

{just enough breeze to sweep her hair around a bit!}

{Yes, her eyes really are that blue. Isn’t she stunning?}

Thanks to A. & her mom for a great shoot!!

Senior Session-

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008
One step closer to making this blogger thing work! I am still unable to post images on my blog from my computer, so I am borrowing my husband’s computer here and it works! Now to play catch up and finally post some images!!

This shoot was so memorable for me– it was the combination of a great subject, inspiring location and fun interaction . . . I can’t express how excited I have been to share these images. I took a little time to come up with just the right post-processing touches to really fit the mood and the beautiful teen here. Meet J:

{She’s in a band with a few other teens, and she really does know how to play that guitar!}

{I loved this cool location in southern Utah . . . I will definitely make a point to shoot here again}

{CELEBRATE! I love the energy of this shot- and she was a good jumper too!!}

Congratulations J. and I hope you love these as much as I do.

I am currently booking senior sessions for April 2008. April is a great time for pictures- the weather is warming up a bit and my clients will have time to order pictures before the school year ends. :) So drop me a line or send an email if you’d like to set up a session. Here’s a link to more details on the website: teen gallery.

Soon To Be . . .

Friday, May 4th, 2007

. . . graduating from high school. So much possibility and excitement for the future. So many life lessons in the works. Finding out who you are, where you’ll go, what you’ll be . . . what you’re made of. K. you have such a light in your eyes- and you share it with those in your midst. I am so glad to have been your official senior portrait photographer . . . what a wonderful time in your life to document!

WARNING: There are over 200 photos from this shoot, and they are crammed full of personality and spunk. I will attempt to select just a handful of favorites for public sharing.

{Watch out world, here she comes!}

{I have always liked this quote by someone famous: “Most of us are born originals but die imposters.” K.- you’ve got a fabulous way about you that is completely original!}

{What a fun downtown session! We took advantage of plenty of crumbling old walls of brick and stucco, chipped paint doorways, alley stairways, and someone happened to have a ferrari parked near a building that K. stood next to. A girl can dream, right?}

{Love the pearls!}

{One of my absolute favorites! This shot looks gorgeous in color too! She is so sophisticated and authentic. Anyone want to vote for a favorite shot of K? I’d share all 200 of them if I could fit ’em on the blog!}
