Keanno's Senior Portraits


I photographed Keanno in my studio as well as on location in the areas around my studio.

We started by taking some head shots in my studio with controlled lighting and three different backdrops. He didn't want to take any photos with his cap & gown, he wanted to be in his regular clothes and act like himself. We took a series of photos, both serious and goofy, inside my studio and then moved outside for more. 

My favorite photos from this session are below:

Weddings - Revisiting January 1, 2011


Tawnya and Ernest were married in St. Mary's Church on New Year's Day 2011. I photographed them before their ceremony getting ready with both formal and candid shots. During the ceremony I used my portable lights to illuminate the inside of this very dark church both on my camera and setup in the choir loft. After the ceremony we took formal photos of the bride & groom with the wedding party and different combinations of family members. Then I followed them outside the church for individual photos and then to a snow covered park before arriving at their hotel where the reception was waiting for them. I took more formal individual photos of the bride & groom in the main lobby of the hotel, where there was a beautiful fireplace we used as a backdrop. I shot a lot of candid photos during the reception and outside in the snow again where there was another roaring fire on the patio. Their wedding is definitely the largest I have ever photographed, but it was a lot of fun to work with them.


I have included more photos of their special day below:
